HIS Intros Radeon HD 7750 iCooler Tweaked for Silent Running

Much like every other AMD add-in board (AIB) partner out there, HIS has also launched a new graphics card today, based on the Radeon HD 7750 design which, according to the company, was tweaked for silent running.

For this next-gen midrange graphics card, HIS decided to go with a design similar to the one used for some of its Radeon HD 6770 graphics cards.

Dubbed iCooler by the company, this in-house developed solution was built in order to provide both quieter operation (less than 28dB in 2D mode) and better cooling than AMD’s reference HD 7750 design.

The rest of the graphics card's specifications were however left unaltered, meaning that the new Radeon HD 7750 iCooler 1GB GDDR5 has its GPU running at AMD’s recommended 800MHz, while the memory is clocked at 1,125MHz (4,500MHz data rate).

As far as the card’s video output configuration is concerned, we get the usual DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

No details regarding the pricing or the availability of the Radeon HD 7750 iCooler have been made public by HIS. A quick Google search also failed to return any info regarding these specs.

AMD’s Radeon HD 7750 graphics cards are based on the company’s Graphics Core Next architecture and use the Cape Verde Pro GPU.

Compared to the Cape Verde XT core found in the HD 7770, this GPU comes with two of its Compute Units disabled, to offer 512 stream processors and 32 texture units.

These are packed together with 16 ROP units, one geometry engine/rasterizer and 512KB of L2 cache, as well as with a 128-bit wide memory bus connected to 1GB of GDDR5 video buffer.

From a performance standpoint, the HD 7750 is about equal to AMD’s HD 5700 series graphics cards, but requires less power to operate. The recommended retail price of the Radeon HD 7750 was set at $109 US, which translates into about 83 EUR.
