XFX HD6950 DD, HD6870 DD and HD6790 DD 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.

A game which came under attack initially for being very slanted towards Nvidia hardware. With the latest AMD drivers however, performance is very good as the results highlight. Even the HD6790 DD is perfectly capable of powering this engine at 1080p with 8 x AA.

  1. Very nice indeed, HD6870 is by far b est value, thats a bargain.

  2. Excellent, I agree HD6870 is best and its very well priced. I dont get paid for 2 weeks sadly 🙁

  3. Thought they had vanished off the face of the earth there for a while. nice to see them back … with a bang.

  4. Never mind the 6870, the 6790 is really more than most people would ever need, quite surprised how well it performs even at 1080p. But for the small price increase, 6870 is much better value.

  5. Very good, thanks for review.

  6. I like XFX< always had good luck with their cards. shame they stopped the cool X shaped boxes they used to have.

  7. are they the first to have used a direct touch heatpipe cooler like this?

  8. Two of the HD6870s seem best to me, just a little more than one of the 6950’s.

    They should lower the 6950 price to £199 inc vat IMO or even £190.

  9. Great review man, im really looking at one of those 6790s for my media center, but it seems poor value when the 6870 is only 25 quid more.

  10. 6870 FTW. those are great cards. XFX DD version is a bargain, orfered one.

  11. really cool. And the price isn’t really bad…
