Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2 is an arcade-style flight action game developed by Ubisoft Romania and published by Ubisoft. After the events of the first game, the H.A.W.X squadron is sent to Middle East, where a high level of violence is being registered, and the appearance of various insurgents leaders in various hotspots. The team also has to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Russian nuclear weapons. The player will be controlling three groups: one American (Hunter), one British (Munro) and one Russian (Sokov), each with its own pilots and supporting characters. There will also be references to other characters in the Tom Clancy universe.
We are testing in full DX11 mode with all settings to maximum.
The AMD HD7970 GHZ Edition averages 127 frames per second, which is significantly behind the overclocked GTX670 and GTX680 hardware. This engine however, in a reverse to the previous Alien V Predator test tends to favour Nvidia hardware.
I dont get it… i may be a little dumb here, i dont get it, i bought a 7970 Black edition card which was OC’d to 1Ghz + on the core, and had dual fan cooling when the 7970 was released ages ago now.. so whats different, and what would i be getting extra for my money now?
fair review, seems like a good card, and i love AMD hardware, but yeah the reference coolers do not impress. Sapphire should make a great version with heatpipes, two fans etc.
Interesting to see the power concumption has increased. I doubt it will hit £400, probably closer to £430.
id wait for sapphire or XFX models, with improved coolers, they normally can match the reference card price.
Yeah im not sold on this, its going to cost too much for what you get. Nvidia OC 570s are much better value for similar performance.
@muppit.
Basically very little apart from a worse cooler and slighty faster memory…
its alright. but whats the big deal? bring out a new card with a better cooler or something. clock it higher? not very creative.
problem is, amd`s heads are a bunch of cowboys in suits because: for amd to survive, it needs a CEO like nvidia, someone who knows gpu`s or even something about games… i bet Rory has never played a game, so what would he know about coolers, fans, temps and performance? relying on AIB`s or OEM`s will get you bankrupt..wait & see AMD.
not only is Rory going to kill amd but the whole amd crew is going to, bcoz none of them seem to have any clue.
