In games, the raised clocks of the HIS 6850 IceQ X Turbo Graphics Card help boost your frame rates to near 6870 averages. In some DirectX 9 games it certainly comes close enough to be almost indistinguishable to a 6870 in game. DirectX 11 games, the HIS 6850 IceQ X Turbo Graphics Card puts up a strong fight, but the 6870 does tend to stretch it's legs a little more. It's quite close though, and with frame rates being generally closer in DirectX 11 games, you may not notice the difference between the HIS 6850 IceQ X Turbo Graphics Card and a 6870.
