Hitman: Absolution Discussion

It runs between 40-70 fps with ultra settings and 2xMSAA on my machine. The in-game benchmark is only around 35-40 fps though. With v-sync on it normally runs at 60 fps and sometimes drops down into the 40s. It's only certain areas of the game that are more demanding than others.

Beat it last night btw. I really enjoyed it. A lot of people have criticized it for feeling more like a stealth game than a Hitman game, but I liked the change in the focus. There is still plenty of strategic killing involved, there's just a larger focus on stealth.

 

My assumption based on non maxed settings stands corrected :thumbsup:. I get 19.5Avg truely maxed. So his 12 fps doesn't really add up. He's 7-8 fps short of proper 7970m framerates (wonder how many runs he did) and you'd have to figure the iGPU couldn't pull 12fps maxed if the 7970m only pulls 20, maybe I'll run the iGPU and find out.

 

This the most funniest sadistic crap I have ever seen but certainly worth a view..lol
Hitman Absolution - China Town Massacre - YouTube

 

lol, I pulled that stuff a lot in Blood Money. That's right where sadistic belongs, virtual world

Watching his score drop made me think of a new competition, how low can you go (double meaning there ).

 

lol brb I'm replaying chinatown now

 

Why?
Looks like some kiddo got mixed up Hitman with CoD. Lol at that -200k score .

 

Ok so latest beta 8 drivers improved performance on my rig from 20 fps (2x MSAA) to 45 - 60 fps with all maxed out except for msaa. 8x MSAA gave me 38 avg fps which is 3x improvement over my previous run with beta 7 driver.

P.S. Talking about ingame benchmark.

 

Going with the latest drivers for new games is typically the right idea. I believe it was stated that beta8 was specific for Hitman and it's why I went from beta3 to that before I even d/l the game. Your improvement proves that, but I question the 38fps at 8xMSAA maxed. Red Line and I ran benchies and got the same thing, ~20 fps avg.

No prob, I don't believe everything I read anyway

 

Insane!!! lol

 

Slightly off-topic but have just started to play assassin creed 3 and wow just wow...my jaw has dropped.

The graphics literally blow Hitman Assassin for 6. I have never experienced the assassin creed series before but boy is this a stunner..
Surprised not more talk on here about it.. It's a classix.

Wait till you get to Boston and your framerates drop to a slideshow. It's jacked up.

I thought Hitman looked better, tbh.

Edit: just saw your other post about how you aren't having framerate issues lol. That's really good that it's working for you. There are so many threads on the net about people hitting problems once they got to Boston. I quit playing once I got there; I average 20 fps on minimum and maximum settings

 

I played Assasin too and in my honest opinion Hitman looks far better :thumbsup:

 

Hitman looks better to me too. Even with medium settings lol.

Just looked assassin benchmark on notebookcheck, it seems as demanding as hitman. WTH with that. Even BF3 seems to run better...

 

I'm getting a black screen on startup. Using lastest beta nvidia drivers :\

 

It's poorly optimized. Framerates tank in open areas for absolutely no reason.

 

Am getting 27-60 fps on my GTX 675m. (Averaging at about 35 fps) with max settings. Aside from MSAA.

Great looking game. Amazing game overall. Although AC3 really was jaw dropping for me. Those graphics were just... wow. Shame the game sucks.

88 degrees (On Hitman) though... Running hotter than I'm comfortable with... Hope it doesn't melt my laptop...

 

After finishing the game I must say this is my game of the year! I love every moment of it and it reminded me of playing a HBO mini series or something like it. The game runs smooth for me at high once I got the settings I want. Most of my played through are mainly going at it with as much stealth as possible, but at certain times in the game going in guns blazings is recommended lol.

 

I agree- a very good game. I can recognize that as I'm not enjoying it at all - purist mode and aiming for silent assassin is a pain (and lots or replays).
Seems like it has a good replay value too- alternative routes and ways to execute missions.

On the downside- logic sucks.

Why would you gather evidence- what possibly interesting for the story can be on a bonnet of a police car or in a staff room/closet of a hotel?

How come I board a subway train with a police pistol, 56 bullets and a shotgun and disembark with a revolver and a 5 bullets?

How is it that when 47 gets to the Vixen Club (or whatever it's called) where nobody should expect him to go, there are 3 squad cars and a dozen of cops there?

Anyway- back to the game

 

Once you bring logic on the table, you kill all games

 

hahahahah

The game does have some corny/odd moments.
It's funny when backup reinforcements arrive in that level and it's gun ho sally...

Yeah the evidence picking up is like ??? what purpose does it hold?

but overall played the Vexxen club level last night again.. man that's a funny level... and yeah the game has excellent replay value just go in with big guns.. i am starting to think the developers got caught up as to whether to make the game stealth or purely with guns.. seems like the decided on both but stealth was the more traditional way.

 

Probably to get a Silent Assassin rating. I think there was something similar in Bloodmoney. If you got spotted going bad deeds, you notoriety rose, so evidence was used to clean your record.

 

That's not the same- in Blood Money your notoriety had something to do with the fact that you've been seen, so if there was a TV crew or a security camera you could have stolen the tape afterwards. Do whatever you wanted to do and clean up the evidence when you're finished.

In Absolution there are silly pieces of evidence around that are clearly not related to 47's actions (file at the bonnet of a car in the begging of a level)- not related to the story nor to 47 himself. Simply another achievement.

 

This game runs great on two 6970m's as well! Finally a optimized engine right of the bat.. AC3 and FC3 can learn a thing or two from Square Enix

 

can someone run benchmark with same speqs and settings as mine?thx!!running it on 12.11 beta 8 and windows 8 pro!

 

I have the same CPU only with two 6970m's and 16gb ram 1333mhz. I hit 83 fps max, 44 fps average and 31 fps min.

 

were u able to max out the graphics on your Nvidia 650M ?

 

No, you can't max out Absolution with a 650m. Not even the 7970m or 680m will run it with full MSAA and ultra settings. The 650m will run it in low/medium settings at 1080p.

 

I just bought this game and I love it.Great graphics.I run on my Asus G75 with gtx670 at medium setting with around 50fps

Here are some screenshots.

 

So beautiful indeed!

 

Can you disable the HUD and objective markers?

 

Yup, fully customizable HUD. On higher difficulties most options are automatically disabled.

 

any issues with the amd 7970 playing this game?

 

none that i can think of. been playing fine good fps few dips when there is a lot of people on screen but still well above 35fps

 

Do you guys still get random: "Hitman5 has stopped working" errors..? (Even after all the updates)

 

No issues here, runs fine with no crashes.

 

Check your event viewer and see if it's the dreaded atidxx32.dll error that happens with some games when using the 12.11 betas. Hitman didn't crash at all for me when I used the 12.11 Enduro Performance driver, but it has crashed a couple times with 12.11 beta8 and beta11. It happened to me once last night (played for a couple hours after the crash with no more problems.) You can either switch to 12.11P or run the game in Windowed mode to prevent crashing, but it's rare from my experience anyway.

 

I never had any problems with this game.

 

i get "video driver stopped working" on my amd 7970. it is all up to date.
