Hitman: Absolution

The third game in our lineup is Hitman: Absolution. The latest game in Square Enix’s stealth-action series, Hitman: Absolution is a DirectX 11 based title that though a bit heavy on the CPU, can give most GPUs a run for their money. Furthermore it has a built-in benchmark, which gives it a level of standardization that fewer and fewer benchmarks possess.

Under Hitman the GTX 770 once more goes back to trailing AMD’s 7970 cards. The GTX 770 and 7970 vanilla are neck-and-neck at times, and meanwhile it trails the faster 7970GE by about 13% at 2560, and 17% at 1920. Whereas compared to the NVIDIA stable we’re seeing just 2% faster than the GTX 680, and even the gains over the 570 are only 54%. Though dropping to 1920 with 4x MSAA opens a much wider gap between the GTX 770 and GTX 680, once again playing off the former’s significant memory bandwidth advantage.

Minimum framerates are essentially the same story as the average framerates, with the GTX 770 trailing AMD’s cards. Though for anything with an absolute minimum over 60fps we have to look at 1920 with high settings regardless.
