XFX HD6970 Black Edition 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.

This engine is skewed massively in favour of nVidia hardware with even a standard overclocked GTX460 outperforming the XFX HD6970 Black Edition at our chosen settings. The GTX570 has a considerable lead. 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.
