After the H.A.W.X. article, we had to dig a bit deeper to find that H.A.W.X is just one of three games that ATI wants to market as a DirectX 10.1 title. All three games should benefit from DirectX 10.1 and two out of three are already a part of Top 20 UK PC games chart.

As we already wrote, you can get up to a 15 percent performance boost with DirectX 10.1 in H.A.W.X. and according to the video at Youtube, you can get up to 30 percent in some titles, for example Stormrise and Battleforge. This video is done by ATI so take that 30 percent claim with a grain of salt, as they claim higher gains in H.A.W.X than those which we got during our testing. In any case, even if the gain is not 30, but rather 15 percent, it's still a great result and a great win for ATI.

Two out of three ATI DirectX 10.1 loving games are already a part of Top 20 UK PC games chart. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is currently fifth while Battleforge has the 20th position and is yet to show its potential.

We couldn't see any graphics improvement on that video, but the performance gain is measured with FRAPS so we guess that ATI HD 3000 and 4000 series are really faster in those titles. Maybe we will see the start of The Way Its Meant To Be Gained thing from AMD now.
