Hitman: Absolution is an action-adventure stealth game developed by IO Interactive and published by Square Enix and is the fifth entry in the Hitman game series. The game runs on the Glacier 2 game engine and includes high levels of anti-aliasing, DirectX 11 technology, lighting effects and depth of field technology.
In Hitman we do see that the lower clocks do have a little effect on the performance at higher resolutions, with a GTX 660 out performing, but we do still see a good set of results all round.
How can the HD7870 been out performed by a HD7790(own that one) that looks wrong!?
agreed. thats the problem with pulling results from an aged database where driver versions used for graphics card testing aren’t consistent. the 7870 was probably tested nearly a year ago with old drivers. if it were to be tested with the same drivers as the ones the 7790 are using all the results would be very different indeed
