| HIS X1800GTO IceQ3 Turbo 256MB Graphics Card Review at MaXit |

Page 4 of 4 The Bottom LineAs it stands, the HIS X1800GTO is a superb mid-ranged option and a bargain at just over £140. It equals fast the 7600GT, winning most of the more intensive shader-heavy titles by a few fps. As usual HIS has pulled out all of the stops and delivered a solution with a superb bundle. The IceQ cooler is a design champion and far ahead of the noisy standard alternatives found on reference models.When you consider that this card can be unlocked to an X1800XL in around 2 minutes, the card becomes a champion performer. Hardware enthusiasts looking to do this should plump on the HIS IceQ 3 Turbo model, as others may not have the correct GB_PIPE_SELECT value. Once the pipelines have been unlocked you have a high end 16 pipeline card that will rip through even the hardest titles with most settings at their highest. Without doubt this is simply the best mid-ranged video card you can buy right now. Now all we need in a HERS version to keep the other half happy! Pros - Great bundle of games, software and cables - IceQ 3 cooler is a triumph of quietness and performance - Extremely quick in the latest games - Excellent warranty - Can be unlocked to the 16 pipe X1800GTO with ease Cons - Slightly let down by memory overclock potential.
