The H.A.W.X performance is closer because all cards bar the GTS 250 can run the faster DX10.1 codepath.

Overall performance for the Inno card is a little better than a default-clocked GeForce GT 240 GDDR5, which is naturally to be expected. Run at mid-range settings across the five games, the Inno3D card is slightly quicker than a Radeon HD 4670 but slightly slower than the HD 5670. The innate problem here is that the HD 4670 costs substantially less.

Move to the next model up and the GTS 250 is a fundamentally faster GPU, clearly.
