HIS IceQ 3 Cooling Technology
HIS IceQ 3 is the 3rd generation of IceQ cooling technology which is endorsed by worldwide media. HIS IceQ 3 innovative design doubles the strength to its predecessor. It ensures lower operating environment for GPU and memory, extends headroom for overclocking and provides longer service life. HIS IceQ 3 can cool down the core temperature dramatically; lower than original cooler. Heat transfers rapidly out of GPU and reduces temperature faster. Also it is sensitive to ultra violate light with special UV effect.
HD Concept output with gold plated
HIS has applied the “HD” concept design on its new models. Features include: high-quality gold-plated ports, black panel plate which sync. with the “High-definition” concept of the new Radeon™ HD Series.

As you can see they are very different from each other 😎
The PCB of this HIS is a little narrower and it’s Capacitors are all sealed as well, it also seems it’s VRM’s are from the brand Delta, these come from Zierikzee, Soulth Holland, a short 40KM drive south from my home!
This HIS HD 3850 ICEQ3 TurboX AGP also has a nick name which many also call itas the HD 3870 AGP, this is because it matches HD 3870 PCI-E performance in almost every game out there.
So here it is in my setup from 2004 and it’s still rock’n too 🙂

I use this system to play games like CoD4 MW, Crysis, UT GOTYE 1999, Descent 3, DXX-Rebirth, C&C 3 series, RA3 series and some others, it supports all 3 different API’s 3dfx Glide, SGI OpenGL and Microsoft Direct3D.
It also works fine in Vista Business x64 + SP2 without any issues, however I am using WinXP Pro + SP3 on that setup, better driver support for the Voodoo5 and since most games are DX9 anyways or OpenGL XP + SP3 is just fine, though I am quate sure Win7 should work, since it’s more like a Win Vista workaround heh.

AliExpress General informationThe base set of information will help you find out the release date of the Radeon HD 3870 AGP graphics card and its purpose (laptops or PCs), as well as the price at the time of release and the average current cost. This data also includes the architecture used by the manufacturer and the video processor code name.
SpecificationsThis is important information that determines all the performance characteristics of the Radeon HD 3870 AGP graphics card. The smaller the technological process of manufacturing a chip, the better (in modern realities). The clock frequency of the core is responsible for its speed (direct correlation), while signal processing is carried out by transistors (the more transistors, the faster the calculations are performed, for example, in cryptocurrency mining).
Dimensions, Connectors & CompatibilityThere are so many PC case and laptop form factors available today that it’s important to know the length of your graphics card and how it’s connected (except for laptop versions). This will help make the upgrade process easier, as Not all cases can accommodate modern video cards.
Memory (frequency and overclocking)The internal memory is used to store data when performing calculations. Modern games and professional graphics applications place high demands on the amount and speed of memory. The higher this parameter, the more powerful and faster the video card. Memory type, size and bandwidth for Radeon HD 3870 AGP + overclocking capability in turbo mode.
