HIS Radeon HD 5870
Recently ATI launched its long-awaited Radeon HD 5800 series video cards, the so-called first DirectX 11-GPU in the world. Today we are having a closer look at the Radeon HD 5870 from HIS. Please fasten your seatbelts and let’s see if it out performes everything and everyone. Hightech Information System or HIS, which they’re probably better known as, is a Japanese manufacturer of Professional reference graphic cards from ATI and have had headquarters in Hong Kong since their establishment in 1987.
Although they are highly certified Tier 1 partners and have a global network of sales branches and distribution points, what really put them on the map was the launch of their different custom coolers for video cards back in 2003. Some of their best-known approaches include iFan, iCool and IceQ – the latter is currently available in its fifth revision and sports heat pipes covering both GPU, memory and power module.
