Hightech Information System Limited (HIS) has just launched its latest graphics card, 'a cool improvement' brought to HIS previous model - the X1600Pro ( now IceQ) 512MB card - which now is said to deliver a faster and cooler new 3D performance architecture technology, a larger memory size and also a next generation image quality signed ATI, informs Hardware Zone.

Because of the new additions, HIS X1600Pro IceQ 512MB enables the core to deliver advanced performance, as the new IceQ model is power-driven by an ultra-threaded 3D core architecture with advanced 90nm micron process.

Moreover, as it is optimized for the latest Shader Model 3.0 and DirectX 9 technologies, the graphics card provides one of the most 'adrenalin-overpowered' gaming experiences. HIS X1600Pro IceQ 512MB also includes a new 256-bit Ring Bus memory controller, coming with 512MB DDR2, and an original cache design. HIS's new graphics card is also CrossFire Ready.

HIS X1600Pro IceQ 512MB has a 2x Dual link DVI which offers the capability to support ultra high resolution LCDs capable of 2560 x 1600, and the advanced High Dynamic Range rendering, both transforming the PC into a HD compliant unit, which can be used for editing photos or just watching the latest high-definition movies.

Moreover, as many other similar products recently released, the HIS X1600Pro IceQ 512MB benefits from the latest ATI Avivo technology and delivers an enhanced quality in video capture and play back via H.264/VC1 acceleration and universal connectivity.

Like the other graphic card launched just weeks ago, HIS X1600Pro IceQ 512MB sports one of the most efficient cooling technology, as it can draw the air inside the PC case to cool down the card, and blows amounts of hot air out of the case in order to decrease the GPU temperature together with the PC components. Furthermore, the cooling solution developed by HIS is also ultra because HIS IceQ fan keeps the noise level below 20dB.
