Okay, this is the part where we move away from all the technical stuff and move on to the product photo-shoot followed by initial tests on heat, power consumption and noise levels. First up the photo-shoot. Abobe the HIS RAdeion HD 5750 ICEQ+ it comes with a blue PCB, great connectivity and of course the custom cooler.

New packaging for HIS on their latest products, in fact the entire series 5000 are packaged in really small boxes. It's likely more easy to ship in volume. Anyway .. this is what to look for in the stores.

Quite a charming fellah to look at really. For a mainstream card HIS certainly did now skimp on connectors. You get a display port, HDMI and DVI connector -- all supporting the highest resolution monitors on the market available today.

When we flip the card around we see there's no back plate installed. Samsung gDSDR5 memory is being used, quite overclockable as we'll show you later on.

The Radeon HD 5000 series will obviously also be CrossfireX compatible, you could hook up one or even two more of these cards and go really nuts. Typically we however do recommend you not to use more than two GPUs, as driver wise you'll quickly run into problems, let alone performance scaling becomes more inefficient. To your top right you can see the two Crossfire connectors.

And here we have a single card all pimped out in our way too expensive test system. Looks good alright. Place an UV cold cathode light in your system and light it up mate.
