{mosgoogle}Viper Lair has posted up a review of the HIS X1600XT IceQ Turbo Edition. I wonder how many manufacturers will call their video cards turbo if they find out that a real turbo is nothing more than a big blow dryer?

Overall the HIS X1600XT IceQ Turbo is a good card and exudes the usual HIS quality we have come to expect but it is let down a little by the cards underlying architecture, as you are often left wondering what the card is waiting for. For the money you won't be disappointed, but you might be happier stretching your wallet for a previous generation card that will perform as well or even better in some cases if AVIVO and ShaderModel 3.0 support isn't big on your list of needs. It all boils down to the games/use you wish for the card, and how often you plan on updating your hardware.
