**HIS R9 285 IceQ X2 OC 2GB GDDR5 Video Card

Review*******************************************************

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the R9 285 OC model from Gigabyte, the HIS R9 285 IceQ X2 2GB OC

video card is based on the Tonga architecture and is using a new form of

compression for frame buffer color data, which reduces the amount of

memory bandwidth required for buffer operations. The product is

overclocked from the factory but not as high as the Gigabyte R9 285 OC

so the overall results were a bit lower in the synthetic benchmarks but

also inside the games. However, we could overclock the card quite a bit

with the supplied utility and have reached similar performance when the

card was maxed-out.
