XFX HD7850 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.

The overclocked Black Edition allow the card to improve on the reference clocked solution by 4 frames per second. It is only a few frames per second slower than the reference clocked HD7870.

  1. Another winner from XFX, great clock speeds out of the box as author says.

  2. impressive, but it is a bit expensive, no? I would expect to pay £200 but no more for a 7850?

  3. I want to see your review of the GTX680, are you not reviewing it Zardon?

  4. Hi Robert, our sample had a hardware problem (fan issue) and we are in the process of reviewing the replacement. Just one of those things.
