HIS puts stickers with its logo on the cooler and the fan, but beyond that, the hardware follows ATI's reference design. The large cooler covers both the graphics processor and the memory. Warm exhaust air is pushed out of the case through the ATX shield at the back of the card; due to the cooler's size and weight, the card takes up two expansion slots and requires secure mounting. The GPU is ideal for games with lots of eye candy that make extensive use of shader effects. This is a result of the enormous number of pixel shader units included in the new design, letting the X1900 XTX shine in games like F.E.A.R. and Oblivion.

The HIS Radeon X1900 XTX sports two digital DVI connectors as well as an S-Video / HDTV socket.

The retail box contains HDTV, S-Video and RCA video cables, as well as a Vivo cable for video input and output. HIS bundles Power DVD 6 2ch as the card's software DVD player. Two DVI-to-VGA adapters allow the use of one or two analog displays.
