Tom Clancy HAWX is set in the same universe as Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter; as Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghost leader, is featured in a few missions of the missions. Plot elements are carried over from other Tom Clancy games such as the missile defense system found in Tom Clancy’s EndWar. G4′s interview with H.A.W.X’s lead designer Thomas Simon reveals that the game takes place in between Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 and Tom Clancy’s EndWar.
The player begins the game in 2014 as the player assumes the role of former U.S. Air Force pilot, David Crenshaw, who is part of an elite unit called H.A.W.X (“High Altitude Warfare eXperimental squadron”), provides fire-support missions for the Ghost team carrying out covert operations in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. However, shortly after the mission, the Air Force decides to deactivate the H.A.W.X squadron and its pilots, including Crenshaw, are recruited into the PMC Artemis Global Security.
We tested DX 10 with shadows high, sun shafts high, ambient occlusion (SSAO) very high. view distance high, forest high, environment high, texture quality high, HDR on, Engine heat on and DOF on.
While the HD5850 leads the pack the eVGA superclocked GTX460 is only 3-4fps behind and the minimum frame rate chart is almost identical throughout. nVidia solutions are particularly strong with this game. The HD5830 once again comes in last.
performance is very good indeed.
Third time lucky, good card, seems to be almost worth the wait
Nice overclocked performance. Seems a reference card would be a good buy and then manually overclocking it to save some money,.
That evga board is really good value for money, under 200? the 5830 I never liked, and I can see why now.
Very good card from nvidia, power consumption is also impressive considering the performance.
I am quite surprised how good this card is, seems to be the top buy now under £200.
It is a tough call to make, spend a bit extra on evga superclocked to get moer performance for sure out of the box, or save some money, get the reference card and hope it overclocks as good. They all seem to overclock well, but you never know by how much until you take it home and trash it.
I think nvidia shares should go up with this one.
Ohhh, I like this card and I never thought id say that about fermi. which to this point has been a power sucking waste of space.
Yeah I agree the power consumption and noise levels are class leading. well done.
Well color me impressed with this one. Wasnt expecting such good performance and temperatures.
Its still not as good as the AMD 5850.
well of course its not as good as the HD5850, that card competes against the GTX465. its about £50 more?
Big release for nvidia, probably their biggest card release for sales in 4 years. It might save their sales in 2010. I know they are struggling.
performance figures are good, read a few reviews and it seems to be sending the HD5830 home in a coffin. its about time we see nvidia competitive again, even if its a mid range sector. the big sales are here and in the 100-150 sector.
thanks for including the HQV Benchmark 2.0 results.
Interesting results, and its good to see nvidia working on their drivers for IQ now in HQV Benchmark 2.0
fermi for the masses methinks. its a very solid product all round. Cant get over how small it is, but it still needs 2 x6 pin connectors.
Figures are good, noise is great, power drain is excellent. size is tiny. Not much to knock, even the price seems competitive.
wow, nvidia leading a price point, hell just froze over !
I like this card a lot. Might pick one up later in the month.
Have one on preorder.
Nice comeback. I’m waiting to see how AMD will respond, and find it hard to speculate on that. AMD can probably lower prices considerably if it wants, but on the other hand if Southern Islands are indeed expected in a couple of months’ time, perhaps it would just wait for that.
