Sapphire HD7970 Overclock Edition (Dual-X) Review

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 GTX590 leads this benchmark chart by quite a margin, but this engine favours Nvidia hardware. The Sapphire HD7970 scores well, averaging 120fps+ with both bios settings.

  4. OMG, this card is a MONSTER, I cant believe it slaps the nvidia GTX590 around like its nothing, OMG – OMG, nvidia is in big trouble if this card is coming around nvidia`s release, i feel sorry for all the nvidiot fan boy that gonna get butt hurt… why sapphire, why?

  5. Great card, but I prefer the appearance of the XFX cards. they just look better with that metal cooler.

  6. that overclock is f&*king wicked.

  7. How do you switch between the two bios settings? Is it complicated? Thanks!!

  8. Hi Ryan. Next to the crossfire connectors is a little switch. Power the system down, flip the switch. reboot.

    Done.
