HIS IceQ4 4850

Conclusion

The HIS 4850 IceQ4 card is a pretty impressive piece of kit. It get’s good scores considering it’s relatively mid-range cost, and it’s low noise rating means that those looking for a card that won’t shatter ear drums, will be pretty happy with this one. It’s overclocking ability with the Catalyst Control centre was pretty good, but perhaps with other pieces of software you’d have more luck. The bundle isn’t bad either, but definitely more of a enthusiast aimed one, than a gamer one; as it’s got a free screwdriver tool instead of a game.

All in all it’s a pretty great all round card. It ticks all the boxes, and anyone with a £150 budget for a GPU would be more than happy with it.
