HIS HD 4850 ICEQ4 TURBO GDDR3

HD 4850 ICEQ4 TURBO 512MB GDDR3, PCI-E 2.0, Direct X 10.1, 2560 x 1600 HIS IceQ 4 Cooling Technology - Pushing the HD4850 to its limit!
HIS IceQ 4 is the 4th generation of IceQ cooling technology, which is endorsed by the media worldwide. Thanks to the newly designed double-slot fans and heatsink, IceQ 4 effectively dissipate the heat from the GPU, thus enabling it for high levels of performance. The newly designed heat-pipes layout shows its strength in effectively transfer heat from the core are and reducing the GPU temperature. Larger heatsink surface areas are implemented to maximize heat dissipation. HIS IceQ 4 cool down the GPU temperature dramatically when compare with the reference cooler, allow you to maximize your overclocking potential. Cooling capacity is increased by up to 20% in gaming mode.

Efficient transfer of heat outside of computer case:Cool air is drawn from both sides of the fan and hot air is forced out of the computer case. It ensures effective cooling when there is another card in front blocking the fan inlet such as in CrossFire setup. (Other brands' cooler leaves the heat generated from GPU inside the case so the temperature inside the case will be increased leading to higher GPU temperature affecting the stability of the graphic card.)

Dual-slot cooling design:Ensure you can conveniently connect the CrossFire cable to run a CrossFire setup. Other brands' cooler which is greater than Dual-slot cannot run CrossFire Setup in some motherboards.

Silent and durable fan: Significantly reduce noise level and extend service life.

Isolated heatsinks:Memory and GPU heatsinks are completely separated, preventing any heat transfer from GPU to memory. Memory heatsink is actively cooled by air stream from main cooler.

ATI AvivoTM HD Technology
ATI AvivoTM HD is the advanced image and video processing and display technology found in ATI RadeonTM HD GPUs and ATI TheaterTM video capture processors. Specifically designed for HDTV and HD video enthusiasts, ATI Avivo HD provides brilliant colors, sharp images, smooth playback of Blu-rayTM* and HD video content, HDMI with built-in multi-channel digital audio, and on some GPUs, Unified Video Decoding (UVD). UVD is designed to enable a cool and quiet media PC with low CPU power requirements and playback of HD 1080p content. HD Monitor is required for full 1080p enjoyment.

HDMI Video and Audio
A system with an ATI RadeonTM HD 4800 Series graphics card can help enhance the HD entertainment experience by providing a seamless connection to an HDTV or home theater system. With built-in 7.1 surround sound audio (AC3 / DTS ), the new GPUs and graphics cards support single cable connection directly to a compatible HDTV, projector or receiver. This single cable carries both the HD video and 8 channel audio for a clean, high definition connection. Some graphics cards will be equipped with an HDMI connector, while others will output the HDMI signal using a special ATI Radeon DVI-I to HDMI adapter. These options give consumers more options and flexibility when connecting their PCs to monitors or home theaters for maximum enjoyment of HD content. The new GPU also supports xvYCC color which can display a wider range of color when connected to capable HDTVs.

-The HIS DVI to HDMI Adapter for ATI 4000/ 3000 series is required to fully utilize the audio through HDMI features

Microsoft DirectX 10.1 support
