We ran this game in DirectX 9 mode with the image quality settings cranked up! The game was patched with update v1.2, which was the most current patch.

Benchmark Results: HAWX did surprisingly on the latest AMD APU and Intel Sandy Bridge processor! AMD held the performance lead across all the platforms tested with the exception of the AMD 690G since it can't run the game as it lacks Shader Model 3.0 support. Once again we see Intel having a very nice 7x performance gain and AMD having a 5x performance gain over the years.
