Hitman Absolution Performance Issues

superleeds27 · 22 Dec 2012 at 16:56

Anyone else have performance issues with Hitman?

Installed today, ran at medium settings, seems so laggy and horrible!

Rig:

I5-2500k
Nvidia GTX560ti
8GB DDR3 RAM
Z68AP-D3 Mobo
Crucial M4 128Gb SSD
Windows 8

Anyone have any suggestions? All drivers are up to date too

Seen people running this game fine on it though. 40/60fps etc.

Doesn't seem 5 minutes ago since I bought the card, not quite sure when it was actually. Last xmas maybe.

I'll have a fiddle and see if I can get it running any better!

reinstalled Nvidia drivers, installed new Intel RST drivers.

Turned of MSAA.

Ultra settings, FPS around 50.

I get 45fps + fine on 1080p high details, GTX 460M (Alienware m15x) i7-920xm

Soon to upgrading it to a 7970m

My 3570k + 6850 can run this mostly maxed at 1080p, you have a much better GPU than me, but I think it comes down to this being AMD biased, so a Nvidia card will struggle a little more than an AMD one.

eh? Maxed? This game running full with MSAA gives my 7970 Lightning a heavy workout mate

Mostly maxed, I think tessellation and MSAA were low/off, otherwise everything's as high as they go. MSAA on this game runs far better on AMD than Nvidia but is still an fps hitter, and tessellation is a complete AMD killer. You'd double your fps dropping it.

Then again I haven't played the game for a month so I can't even remember what was on and what wasn't, but the majority were maxed.

One thing for sure mate is your getting good mileage out of your 6850. Which can only be a good thing!

Could it be hitting the VRAM limit?

Gonna check them now actually.

I'm on a 560 but 1680 res, had it maxed with AA and Global illumination off (that proper rapes frames) might be better now since I last played cause the nvidia drivers were beta then. I ran at constant 60 and dropped to 40 on 2 levels in a random area of the map. Not sure if its me but compared to other games 40 frames feels really sluggish in this?
