We are surprised to see a modification of RADEON HD 2900 XT at $249 instead of $449. That is, the GPU clock was reduced by 150 MHz, memory was left almost untouched. And voila - meet the 2900 PRO, cheaper by $200. Even without tests it's clear that such a product can be extremely popular.

There's a new GPU in town, and its job is to pistol-whip the GeForce 8800 GTS 320 in to submission.

We wanted it and now we've got it. The HD 2900 PRO has been one of the most talked about products since the release of the HD 2900 series from AMD. Sure the HD 2900 XT offers great value for money these days due to some excellent driver updates from AMD, but the bottom line is that the card still comes in at around $500 AUD or $400 USD meaning that it's simply out of reach for a lot of people. Hopefully AMD have learnt from their mistakes and the HD 2900 PRO is simply going to blow us away as the next best thing. Its main competition is the 8800GTS 320MB from NVIDIA.

The HD 2900 XT is a great card; don't let those haters tell you otherwise. At launch there was no denying that it lagged behind the competition, and sure AA and AF performance isn't the best but thanks to AMD keeping on top with driver releases the card continues to improve every month. Originally there was supposed to be an XT/XTX combination of the HD 2900 but for some reason it never really happened, instead there has been a new incarnation of the XT which not only comes with a jaw dropping 1GB of memory on it but also carries GDDR4, the latest graphics card memory to hit the market.

We're writing to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the features, performance, and overclockability of the HIS Radeon HD 2600 Pro IceQ Turbo 512MB graphics card. Like the other members of HIS' IceQ Turbo family of graphics cards, this Radeon HD 2600 features an oversized, near silent cooler and it's overclocked right out of the box. Head on over to the site and see how it stacks up to a stock Radeon HD 2600 Pro and to a similarly priced GeForce 8600 GT.

We take a look at two non-reference Radeon HD 2600 XT graphics cards - the HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT Zalman Fan and IceQ Turbo - and pit them against one another and a suitable contender from the green team. Who will come out on top?

The Radeon X1950 Pro is a better buy at the moment because of the lack of compelling DX10 content available at the moment. However, that could change at the end of the week when potentially the biggest game of the year (which comes complete with DX10 support) is released. Waiting until then would be advisable in our opinion, but if you?re dead set on buying a DirectX 10 card today, both the GeForce 8600 GT and Radeon HD 2600 XT should deliver respectable performance in upcoming DX10 titles. The question is though, whether that DX10 gaming experience will be better than the DX9 experience achievable on a Radeon X1950 Pro - that is something we hope will become clearer over the next couple of weeks.

For the dollar, this HIS's overclocked version of the X1650XT brings a lot of performance to the table for a small amount of money. There is no manufacturer on the market that gives you more in a mainstream package than HIS. This is why I have grown to respect this company for what they give to their customers in terms of quality and quantity. If you are in the mainstream market for a card, you owe yourself the time to check this card out.

This videocard has more or less everything that a gamer needs other than a sufficient amount of onboard memory. Although this card looks great, comes with a complete hardware bundle and software package with a full version game, it all means nothing when a card is hampered with a lack of sufficient memory for today's gaming environment.

Officially called Radeon X1300 XT IceQ Turbo, this entry-level video card from HIS comes overclocked and featuring a good cooling solution from Arctic Cooling. We know that Radeon HD 2400 is around the corner, but let's take a look on this entry-level video card from HIS and compare it with other entry-level and mid-range cards from both ATI and nVidia.

HIS has put together another package that triumphs over the other two X1550s Overclockers Online has looked at in the past. The card balances great performance to price and noise level. The only hurting factor has to be the fact that HIS does not make dual DVI a standard feature.

HIS has added its own signature touches to the Radeon X1950 Pro. Quiet cooler and overclocked. Seems like a perfect combination, right?

HIS brings us a highly overclocked X1950 Pro based video card with custom cooling for the AGP platform. Can it turn an aging system into a full blown gaming rig? Let's find out.

We have with us a pair of cards from HIS, one the Radeon 1650XT and the other a Radeon 1950PRO. We will see what these particular cards from HIS have to offer us along with what card is best for you. If you're on an LCD monitor that only supports a resolution as high as 1280 x 1024, is it worth the extra money to move to the X1950PRO? We'll discuss this and more. Normally we see a lot of IceQ type graphics cards from HIS but this time around while we do have an IceQ edition in the shape of the Radeon X1950PRO we also got the chance to check out the new iSilenceII cooling design on the Radeon X1650XT.

HIS is offering their version of the Radeon X1950 Pro as the HIS IceQ 3 X1950 Pro. This comes with their 3rd generation IceQ cooling technology, which boasts better cooling performance and lower noise level than the original ATI specified cooler. The HIS X1950 Pro also is clocked higher, at 620 MHz core and 1.48 GHz (effective) memory, than the other ATI X1950 Pro cards. This should mean better performance straight out of the box for the HIS version when compared to other X1950 Pro cards.
