Sparkle GTX650 OC Dragon Series 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.

HAWX 2 is a title which has favoured Nvidia hardware in the past. The Sparkle GTX650 OC Dragon Series manages to outperform the Sapphire HD7750 Ultimate Edition, averaging 51 frames per second. Again we need to focus on the point that this card is capable of maintaining perfectly smooth (30+) frame rates at 1080p with a high level of image quality enabled.

  1. Seems like a decent card for the money. good for a media center, but may they will bring out a single slot version.

  2. Its a good point, I remember when a low end card struggled to get good frame rates at 1280×1024.

  3. > It is worth pointing out that onboard graphics solutions just don’t make the grade for me, as I crave the highest image quality possible, only achievable from either Nvidia or AMD discrete solutions.

    This might be about to change with the release of AMD’s desktop trinity parts (rumoreded for the 1st of October)

  4. I would really like to see this card tested at more appropriate resolution and details. Its a $100 card its not meant to push 8AA@fullhd res.

  5. The fact it can though is pretty incredible ! I was amazed to see it can cope with many engines at 1080p. I dont know anyone who games at 720p anymore anyway. but you can be sure it will cope with it if it can at 1080p
