Powercolor HD6970 PCS+ Review – silent and deadly

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.

nVidia are so far ahead with this particular DX11 title that it is hard to even get a handle on performance levels. The Powercolor HD6970 PCS+ manages to outperform an Nvidia GTX460 OC model, but barely. We know that nVidia were a partner in the development of this game, but we are hoping that AMD can fine tune their driver and hardware performance over the coming months.
