AMD Radeon HD7970 X2 with IceQ X2 Cooling Pictured

HiS has been a longtime partner of ATi and AMD and the company is well known for building high-quality video card using very effective and silent cooling systems. Now, HiS is planning to release a dual-GPU video card based on AMD’s Tahiti GPU.

We don’t know yet the exact naming of the card, but it is sure to have “Radeon HD7970 X2” and “IceQ X2” in its naming scheme. The cooling system used is not exactly the same with the one that HiS announced three months ago. Check out the gallery to see how the original IceQ X2 looked when it was announced. The fan blades are different and the total thickness of the card make it occupy three expansion slots.

HiS’ dual Radeon 7xxx card is likely to function at AMD’s default GPU and memory frequency for the standard Radeon HD 7970. This may not be as impressive as PowerColor’s Devil 13 dual-GPU video card, but it is better than what Nvidia was able to do with their GTX 690 that works at slightly lower frequencies.
