Review: Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 TOXIC 4GB: explosive single-card performance

H.A.W.X

H.A.W.X provides a DX10.1 path for newer GPUs, speeding up antialiasing. Now a year old, it's a good test of general GPU efficiency and, as a flight simulator, of multi-monitor setups.

Benchmarks

H.A.W.X confirms what we already know. Sapphire's design is a notable step up from a reference HD 5970, but a true HD 5870 CrossFire configuration offers better results for less of your money.
