Filtered the HIS RX 570 IceQ X2, which has an exorbitant consumption of 225W

The HIS RX 570 IceQ X2 has been filtered by a Vietnamese website and the consumption of this graphics card has also been revealed, which will be extremely high, generating a lot of heat.

The first images of the RX 570 graphics card have been leaked on a Vietnamese website ; specifically, we're talking about the custom HIS RX 570 IceQ X2 version. These new AMD graphics cards belong to the mid-range and entry-level segments and are intended to replace the RX 400 Series. It's worth noting that the RX 500 Series is based on the Polaris 20 GPU, a 14nm rework with slight lithography adjustments that gave rise to the Polaris 10 graphics core. They will use standard GDDR5 memory, not the latest GDDR5 memory with improved clock speeds or the more powerful GDDR5X.

Returning to the HIS RX 570 IceQ X2, we find a fairly simple heatsink with two fans and a logo that is a lion. This graphics card does not have a backplate, with which the entire heatsink will be carried out by the front heatsink formed by four heatpipes together with the aluminum fins. We see that it is powered by an 8-pin PCIe connector. Regarding the benefits, this graphics card will have an approximate frequency of 1244MHz, it has 4GB GDDR5 working at 7GHz.

What has interested us most of all this is consumption. So far we did not have the least data on how much they would consume, but we have been surprised that the consumption is 225W. This consumption is a nonsense, considering that the GTX 1060 has a consumption of 120W, the GTX 1070 has a consumption of 150W, the GTX 1080 has a consumption of 180W and the GTX 1080 Ti has a consumption of 250W. These are very important, because in the end, what we save in price, we can pay in triplicate in light and of course, these RX 570 cards will generate excessive heat.

  1. At least that's what the source says, then the same is less. If they are 225W, it is a real consumer nonsense.
