HIS X1600 XT IceQ Turbo Review

After it was all said and done the HIS X1600 XT IceQ Turbo ended up with an acceptable showing. Its performance was not extremely impressive but it shows signs of improvement over the last generation and makes ATI outlook for the immediate future look somewhat promising. HIS was able to put a nice twist on this card- a great cooler, a software bundle (however paltry it may be), and a palatable price [ $196 ].

This product does have issues though. Most importantly, the performance capabilities of the X1600 XT are simply not that much better than Nvidia’s card in this range which were available well over a year ago. Yes, it is a step up from the X700 Pro, but that is not really saying much at this point.
