The Card

Looking at the video card the overall cooler design isn't much of a surprise as we've seen the IceQ X cooler before on other HIS cards. There is a large single fan in the middle with a massive heatsink sitting behind it and a couple of heatpipes coming out the back. What really looks good is the silver honeycomb like plate that sits against the black.

Taking a look around you can see towards the back there is a single 6-pin PCIe power connector. Looking at the front and moving across the top you can see we've got a single CrossFire connector present in the event you want to add a second card to the mix.

Looking at the I/O side of things it's got a strong setup which includes two Mini-DisplayPort connectors. Along with that we've also got a full size HDMI port and a Dual-Link DVI connector to round off the connectivity side of things. On the other half of the I/O panel we've got a vent that will help the hot air get out the back of the case.

Specifications

Out of the box a reference HD 7750 brings with it a default clock speed of 800MHz while the 1GB of GDDR5 comes in at 1125MHz or 4500MHz QDR. Coming in under the Turbo label, though, of course means we're dealing with an overclocked card.

Looking above you can see that HIS has chosen to bump the core clock up 100MHz to bring it in at 900MHz. Like we see so often, though, from most companies, the memory hasn't been touched and looking above you can see that comes in at the same 4500MHz QDR clock speed as a reference card.
