That's why frequencies are raised using the iTurbo utility, which comes shipped with the cards (like the famous ExperTool utility, which used to be included into Golden Sample bundles from Gainward to get increased frequencies). ATI does not allow its partners to experiment with increased frequencies in BIOS, that is initially. Only one product offers standard frequencies, as it's equipped with a passive cooling system. Not just that, they operate at increased frequencies. Today we shall examine five new models, equipped with such devices. This family of the third generation includes two coolers: a big model (for X1800-series cards and higher) and a small one (for X1300-1600 cards). It means that the video cards are equipped with famous cooling systems from Arctic Cooling. Nearly all of them are united by the same brand - IceQ III. One of the closest partners of this company, HIS, offers a number of new products. ATI is an independent company so far, its partners get chips from ATI, we'll review new products from the Canadian company. Or the RADEON trademark may die after its three-letter parent.Īs for now, everything remains as before. A timely disposal, while the company can be sold for a top price. They will all disappear so that a group of owners of the formerly independent Canadian company could line their purse. (I typed this word with such nostalgia!) A famous brand, a habitual logo. In just a few months we'll have to stop typing ATI. A company may grow, develop for 20 years, conquer new horizons, correct its mistakes, make new ones.
