HIS HD 5670 IceQ 512MB Video Card
Feb 13th, 2010 | By JaredI won’t bore you with the mundane of installing the HIS HD5670 IceQ. The card isn’t full sized so there should be no issues with fitting in any case. Unfortunately I don’t have a UV light as I’m sure it would look even better since the cooler is UV reactive.
Of course after installing the software, one of the first things to do is see how much we can overclock it. Unfortunately at the time of this writing the only tool that I was able to use was ATI’s Overdrive utility. Out of the box the HD 5670 IceQ runs at a core clock of 775 MHz and memory clock of 1000 MHz. Unfortunately we are limited to a max of 850 MHz core and 1050 MHz memory clocks in ATI’s utility which the HD 5670 IceQ reached easily.
The temperatures of the card under load using Furmark only increased by 2 degrees over the stock temperatures. Idle temperatures were the same as expected since the clock settings drop while not under load.
Now that we have toyed with overclocking, it’s time to throw some benchmarks at it and see how the HD 5670 IceQ performs.
