The latest budget bad boys to come flying out of the gates from ATI are the Radeon X1300XT and Radeon X1650PRO. Today we have with us the X1300XT DDR3 model from HIS and the X1650PRO DDR3 model also from HIS. We are testing these cards in Crossfire and by themselves and chucking in an X1900GT for good measure.

Join us as we take not one, but two of these cards for a spin, evaluating single- and dual-card performance along the way, pitting the HIS X1900 GT IceQ3 against an X1950 XTX, GeForce 7950 GX2 and SLI'd 7900 GTs. This should be fun...

Dongle-less CrossFire for the HIS X1600 XT IceQ Turbo DL-DVI DVI 256MiB GDDR3 cards raised performance by up to 75%, with 40% increases almost guaranteed. The effect this had on games playing was profound. Whereas the average framerate for a single card run at 1280x1024 4x AA 8x AF caused jerkiness, a second card's augmenting performance ironed out the extreme lows and made for a more-immersive experience. Multi-GPU technology is good right across the board, but it makes even more sense with the midrange market, and upgrading to two cards, when funds permit, is always a decent idea.

Coming up next in our series of ATI Radeon X1800 XT reviews, we have an overclocked contender from HIS, appropriately dubbed the HIS Radeon X1800 XT 512MB OC Edition. With its blazing fast speeds, this looks to be a challenger for the fastest Radeon X1800 XT title as well. Read on to find out how it fared...

There is no way I am going to put this card down. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this card if you consider its' targeted consumer genre. This card is meant to be a value based premium graphics card with exceptional cooling and overclocking potential. What more could you ask for when you are laying down US$139. Sure there might be cheaper, but I bet it isn't as loaded as this model. If you are in the market for a cheap, yet superb value videocard, give this one a try. The overclocking and cooling alone are worth it in my mind...

...'The Best price/performance card ever built'! How can you argue with that statement after reading this review? If you were not impressed by the 42% overclock of the GPU core or the 22% overclock of the memory, then surely the temperature when running this ridiculously impressive overclock under load thanks to the IceQ II cooling technology that HIS incorporates in their X800GTO offering has you running out the door to buy it. In addition to the overclocking capabilities of the HIS X800GTO, the pure performance of this new chipset is just incredible...

It seems that the Radeon X800GTO, in general, is in a league of its own at around £135-150 at the moment and the HIS Radeon X800GTO IceQ II iTurbo sits at the top of that league. This card is special, without a doubt. In fact, in some cases, the card could well keep up with a GeForce 6800 GT when using the overclocked 500/1000MHz frequencies that are covered by HIS' 2 year manufacturers' warranty...

The distinctive coolers found on many of HIS' graphics cards are well known for their excellent characteristics. Outfitted with a first generation IceQ cooler, would the HIS Radeon X700 128MB AGP live up to the high standards set by other HIS cards and their updated IceQ coolers?

If you are in the market for the premier card for your AGP system, you can't go wrong with this option. It looks great, comes with industry leading cooling, games exceptionally well and comes with a good hardware and software bundle. All you need to do is buy a UV light and insert it into your case and you will have yourself quite the glowing showpiece...

Much like the PowerColor Bravo X700, this HIS X700 iCooler was good, but not breathtaking. Power and performance simply can't come from an X700, no matter who you buy it from. What we have here is a card that's perfect if you're the occasional gamer, someone who loves their dual LCD displays or a home theater enthusiast who just needs their HTPC projected on to a HDTV.

HIS has taken a great card in the Radeon X850XT and made it better. The visually pleasing and very functional IceQ II Cooling assembly gets high marks for its raw cooling power and the near silence that it does it at. Releasing the card in its iTurbo form gives the end user the power of the X850XT while saving them a good $50. Our benchmarking shows that the pixel pushing power of the X850XT is phenomenal...

For an all round graphic card that does not have the price of the big boys it sure will run up beside them at a far less asking price. With the included flashy UV reactive cooling housing and its ability to keep things cool even when overclocking is a plus. For around the $300 mark this card is a deal and has performance levels to back it up. The HIS X800XL IceQ II turbo receives the Tech-Mods.net Gold Award.

It looks great, it performs exceptionally well for a performance value solution and it has included cooling not even seen on more expensive x800/850XT alternatives. It didn't matter what I threw at it, even at the highest quality and 1280x1024 resolution, the card just toyed around with every benchmark and gaming scenario and taunted my to push it some more.
