Page 1 of 4 As usually, after the basic models all made in the same fashion as the referent one, the first cards with more exotic cooling systems begin to arrive. Not that it is an imperative with such cold weather at the moment, but an overclocker values each degree Celsius. This time, we got a graphics card from HIS, made in cooperation with ArcticCooling, the (in)famous manufacturer of different advanced cooling systems for PC components. The full name of the graphics card we present you with today is HIS HD 3850 512 MB DDR3 IceQ 3 Turbo.
Inside the very nicely designed box, there is nothing too special as far as “bundle” is concerned. Although it may seem strange at first, HIS tends to follow the general trend set by other manufacturers lately and “expel” all non-essential things from the box of enthusiasts' cards, going for the lowest possible price. Here, that means: the card itself, driver disc, basic cables and converters (DVI-to-VGA and DVI-to-HDMI). The latter will enable you to connect your PC straight to an LCD/plasma TV and watch HD material in resolutions up to 1920x1200.
