Powercolor HD6970 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.

HAWX2 is clearly designed for nVidia hardware, as the GTX460 OC Edition even manages to outperform the HD6970 in single card mode. That said, the minimum frame rate is slightly lower. We would expect AMD to improve the performance of this game with the next couple of Catalyst revisions in the New Year.
