XFX HD7870 Black Edition Overclocked Graphics Card 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 runs well on all current hardware and even the HD6770 can maintain playable frame rates at these settings. The HD7870 Black Edition averages 104 frames per second, two more than the reference clocked card.

  1. those cards are pure sex. Id probably want the 7950 though if I was getting an XFX DD card. seems to make more sense, especially when overclocked to the limit.

  2. Good cards, but far too many to choose from in the last 2 weeks. hard to know what to buy (if I was in the market).

  3. HD6850 is the better value card IMO, its under £200 now in the UK, 6870 is too closely priced to 6950 IMO
