After looking at Connect3D’s X1800GTO, it’s HIS’ turn with their new X1800GTO Turbo. This card features HIS’ brand new IceQ3 cooling solution and comes overclocked right out of the box. Being a part of HIS’ Turbo line this card has received a default overclocked speed of 520MHz core with the memory speed remaining the same. Why the amount of 520MHz was chosen is unknown but it seems like a small enough jump to be a pretty safe overclock without straining the card too much. Plus with the heavy duty IceQ3 cooler, overheating the card is hardly a worry.
If you are considering an X1800GTO, this should be worthy of your consideration. Paired against the Connect 3D model, the HIS comes out on top. You even have the ability to flash it to an X1800XL for even more performance. Check out the full review over at Bona Fide Reviews.
