H.A.W.X. 2 Benchmark

Aerial warfare has evolved. So have you. As a member of the ultra-secret H.A.W.X. 2 squadron, you are one of the chosen few, one of the truly elite. You will use finely honed reflexes, bleeding-edge technology and ultra-sophisticated aircraft – their existence denied by many governments – to dominate the skies. You will do so by mastering every nuance of the world’s finest combat aircraft. You will slip into enemy territory undetected, deliver a crippling blow and escape before he can summon a response. You will use your superior technology to decimate the enemy from afar, then draw him in close for a pulse-pounding dogfight. And you will use your steel nerve to successfully execute night raids, aerial refueling and more. You will do all this with professionalism, skill and consummate lethality. Because you are a member of H.A.W.X. 2 and you are one of the finest military aviators the world has ever known. H.A.W.X. 2 was released on November 16, 2010 for PC gamers.

We ran the benchmark in DX10 mode with the image quality settings set to low as you can see above.

The H.A.W.X. 2 PC game title runs on what looks like five threads if the processor being tested has that many available.

Benchmark Results: H.A.W.X. 2 was run in DirectX 10 mode with 4x AA enabled and the results on the Intel Pentium G620, Pentium G850 and Core i3-2120 processors were 100% identical since they were both clearly GPU limited. The AMD A8-3850 and A6-3650 ‘Llano’ APUs are clearly in a league of their own when it comes to gaming graphics!
