Love it.

HIS IceQ X Turbo Radeon HD 6790 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H679QNT1G2M
HIS IceQ X Turbo Radeon HD 6790 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H679QNT1G2M

Pros: I absolutely love this card. I recently built a AMD Athalon II Quadcore machine, for a final project at school, and needed a good GPU to throw in it. I read the initial review of the 6790 over on Guru3D, and loved the things they said about it. my Case is a LITTLE small, and the GPU sort of "Rests" on the SATA ports, but other than that, it has been an awesome card. It is the 3rd HIS ATI Chipset I have owned (The other two being a ATI x1300, and 2 Radeon HD 4670's) and I love the performance I get out of them, and how cool the IceQ cooling system works. TL;DR: I have had the card for three weeks, and it has run BEAUTIFULLY on everything I throw at it.

Cons: I have had some minor stalls, and strange artifacts, but a driver update from ATI fixed that right up.

Overall Review: When I bought this there were zero reviews on it (here at newegg) so I imagine I took a risk. I am glad I did. WONDERFUL card.

Saved my P4!

HIS IceQ Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card H467QS1GHA

Pros: So I was torn between this GPU and the 4650, and let me tell you, I am SO glad I went with the 4670. the 1 Gig of DDR3, and the fact that it is AGP has totally TOTALLY saved my Aging 2.9 Ghz P4 (with HT!) machine. it runs quiet, and I have maxed out Bioshock, Mass Effect, Star Trek Online, Team Fortress two, Singularity, Burnout Paradise, Flat out 2. it just runs WELL. I still have lag with HD videos, BUT that is purely because I am using a VGA monitor, and not anything with an HD setup. all in all a splendid card

Cons: I spent a little extra time getting the drivers going, but after I installed the newest ATI set, it worked out perfect. I imagine if you would need an average knowledge of these things to get it all right. I've had some minor stalls as well, but this could be more of an issue with my aging System than the card itself.

Overall Review: If you need to revitalize an aging system with a AGP 8x slot, then this is the way to go. bloody card has better ram on it than my motherboard. This is my second HIS purchase, (the first being a Radeon X1300) and I am still satisfied with their products. Would buy again.
