Today we have the last card in our HIS X1300 series of reviews; the X1300 dual DVI 512MB PCI Express. Unlike the previous two cards, this X1300 does not feature the IceQ cooler and instead uses a passive cooling solution. This is most likely because this card is not a part of the "Turbo" line of HIS cards meaning that it has received no overclock and comes at the normal X1300 speeds right out of the box. The core and memory speeds on this card are the typical 450MHz and 250MHz (500MHz effective). The two advantages this X1300 has over the other two X1300s is its 512MB DDR2 memory, double that of the other cards' 256MB, and its dual DVI outputs. Let's find out if its advantages outweigh its disadvantages of slower default clock speeds and passive cooling.
