Conclusion and Verdict
The HIS RX460 Slim iCooler graphics card is really interesting option on the market flooded with graphics cards with large cooling solutions. It’s slim, runs cool and performs well. Additionally it looks great even though that cooler build is quite simple.
Some users could find low profile version even better but I haven’t seen any RX460 which was low profile. It’s maybe a good idea to move one step farther and build slim and low power RX460.
The only thing which we are missing is additional video memory. 2GB is not enough to run many new games at more than 1080p and even at this display resolution at higher details textures are simply too large.
There is 4GB VRAM version which costs a bit more but if you wish to play new games then it’s probably worth to pay for that. Buy the Radeon RX460 from Amazon – https://goo.gl/2gM9r2.
Pros:
- Single slot cooler
- Quiet work ( silent in 2D )
- Interesting design
- Higher frequency than reference RX460
- Low power/low heat
Cons:
- Only 2GB VRAM ( but there is also 4GB version )
Final Words:
The HIS Radeon RX460 Slim iCooler 2GB graphics card is an interesting option for less demanding gamers who care about new features but don’t want to pay too much.
If you are a casual player or wish to build a budget gaming rig or higher performing HTPC then HIS RX460 Slim iCooler is a graphics card worth recommendation!
