Introduction

HIS Logo


AMD's Radeon HD 7970 has been on the market for a while now. The card introduced a new shader architecture and brought numerous improvements in power consumption. It met heavy opposition from NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680 and 670, which has caused HD 7970's pricing to go down quite a bit.

We have seen several recent releases of premium HD 7970 variants geared towards overclocking through high clock-speeds and maximum cooling-power. Prominent members of these cards are the ASUS MATRIX, MSI Lightning, Gigabyte SuperOC, and Sapphire Toxic.



HIS is now entering the arena with their HD 7970 X Turbo, which, unlike many other enthusiast HD 7970 cards, comes in a dual-slot form factor. The clock speeds have been increased significantly to 1180 MHz on the GPU, which is the highest GPU clock we've seen on an HD 7970, and 1500 MHz on the memory; only the ASUS MATRIX comes with a higher memory clock.

Price-wise, HIS is also asking a lot. The card can be yours for $600.
