HIS Radeon HD7750 iCooler 1024MB PCIe (H775F1GD)

Zitat: Pro: + Great noise and temperature figures Con: - Overpriced - Single-slot cooler would make more sense The Radeon HD 7750 GPU has enough curiosity to be made into an interesting proposition. Powered through a motherboard´s PCIe x16 slot and able to be cooled by a fan-less heatsink, should a partner so wish, it carries with it AMD´s spiffy Graphics Core Next architecture and all manner of multimedia goodies. Gaming performance is also comfortably higher than the last-gen bus-powered card´s. One would think that such an array of qualities would make HD 7750 a must-have GPU, but current compressing of the pricing in the mid-range graphics market, to an extent where this 7000-series minnow battles against some genuine heavyweights, means that any HD 7750 costing £100 starts off on the wrong foot. HIS looks to offer something new with its iCooler version, priced at just over £100, though we find it perplexing why a double-slot cooler is used on a GPU that doesn´t overclock particularly well. What´s more, the review card ships with default frequencies of 800MHz core and 4,500MHz memory while attracting a retail price that´s £15 (or 17.5 percent) above the cheapest HD 7750s. Bottom line: Quiet and cool as it is, the HIS Radeon HD 7750 iCooler 1GB card´s stuck between and rock and a hard place. Snip the pricing down to £85 and it becomes instantly more desirable.
