CONCLUSION
If a gamer was to come here today and ask us whether or not the Radeon R7 360 GREEN iCooler OC 2GB by HIS is what he should get for his gaming rig the answer would obviously be no and just a look at our charts should be enough to justify it. Still people like my friend are neither gamers nor enthusiasts so for people looking to get their hands on a graphics card ideal for low-resolution gaming and with low power consumption and low overall noise levels things can’t get much better than the HIS Radeon R7 360 GREEN iCooler OC 2GB. Now I still can’t figure out how by just slightly reducing clocks HIS managed to cut the power consumption of the R7 360 all the way down to 50W (56W in our tests) when most similar models require over 120W at load is beyond me but I always welcome such differences. As for overclocking although we did use a very conservative one for our tests we know for a fact you can push it even more (some users have reported stable overclocks of well over 1250MHz on the core) so do keep that in mind as well.
So how much do our friends over at HIS ask for their little Radeon R7 360 GREEN iCooler OC 2GB? Well although for some strange reason this specific model is not available in the USA it’s widely available inside the EU for a price of 118Euros (Amazon.de) a price tag which is not half bad considering the power consumption this card has. On the other hand by “investing” just a tad more you can get the slightly better GeForce GT 750Ti card so there’s also that option. Still even though the HIS Radeon R7 360 GREEN iCooler OC 2GB may not be the fastest card in its league but it does quite well, is a good overclocker and all that just by using the power coming from the PCIe slot so it goes without saying really that it gets our Golden Award.
