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. Terrain tessellation is enabled.
nVidia are so far ahead with this particular DX11 title that it is hard to even get a handle on performance levels. The GTX570 scores more than two HD6950's in CFx, which is staggering. We know that nVidia were a partner in the development of this game, but we are hoping that AMD can fine tune their driver and hardware performance over the coming months.
Its a tough call. I see all the nvidia sponsored titles, the TWIMTBP all score higher on the GTX570, but hAWX 2? come on, there must be something well dodgy going on there! Nice review thanks.
Good boards, glad to see no bias here, fair review all round.
They are good boards no doubt about it. power consumption is still highish, but I suppose with this power output it is required. still think AMD have the edge on that.
Hang on, Haev I missed something? the GTX570 can only power 2 screens? wtf.
my brother is buying me one for christmas 🙂 im lucky I know !
I know everyone seems disappointed with the 6970 but i prefer it to this card. but im waiting on a cooler from a third party as AMD reference coolers suck arse.
HD6970 is a good board but its dissappointing. ive saved enough money up for the 6990 in the last 4 months. waiting patiently. You got one already Zardon?
I used to read your nV reviews on launch day, but nvidia products seem to be much slower now being reviewed here 🙁
Were I am, the GTX570 is cheaper than the HD6970. I think the GTX570 is a better card for what I would need. I dont want to game on multiple screens. but I can see the advantages with AMDs technology.
Its really cool they give away a mouse mat. if I see another call of duty modern warfare 2 bundle ill kill someone.
the cooler is identical to the GTX580 isnt it ?
Great review, think I prefer the 6970 tho
Hard to choose between this and 6970, both are v good. Shame AMD can’t launch an assault on Nvidia 580
It’s good, but I’d only spend 200 on a card , still quite happy with the460
They are doing a good job making up for lost time. Can’t fault the price
I think a lot of the video games are nodded to run particularly well on Nvidia hardware. Look at hawk 2. Must be a similar stunt to the original hawx
Twimtbp my ass.
No point in buying these high end boards. The pc gaming market is in a shocking state this year and I cant see anything on. The horizon to change it. Crysis 2, I’m pretty sure it will suck
