How in the world did you do those benches with 301.61, they haven't even been out for 12 hours...
Would've liked to see some Ultra setting benches though. Any idea how much of a drop we should be expecting? SLI scaling doesn't seem that great either, from 50FPS (680) to 75FPS (690)
Great write up as always

Yeah, guess what I have been doing for the past 8 hours with only one coffee break
We have some Ultra settings benchies on page 3 which should give you a rough estimate.

Wow that was quick..
Slight error on the last page. Have highlighted so you can correct...
The game has really is an AMD title as it is in their gaming evolved
package.
(in the final words and conclusion part).
I think you were trying to say something along the lines of "the game has AMD in the title and this is shown by the results and it is a good example of what they are trying to do, moving forward, with their Gaming evolved package/design"
(or words to that effect
)

AMD is really coming on strong in the VGA department. I very recently saw a 7970 for $330 after rebates. That'd make a helluva cheap and powerful Crossfire setup.

Wonder how it performs with using Radeon Pro's SMAA turned on, and FXAA/MSAA in game turned off? (on a HD7870 for example). Was just thinking it's a balance between using 'high' instead of 'ultra' fand using MSAA etc, or using SMAA, no MSAA/in game FXAA, and using 'ultra' for some of those settings.
I ask instead of seeing for myself as I haven't bought the game yet! and was just curious.

I'm guessing its meant to be 310.61 and not 301.61.

Interesting that a 580GTX is right up there with the 670GTX and not far behind the 680GTX.

Yes they throw out more heat than the newer cards but mine is under water so not bothered, i think BF4 will be the next time i upgrade.

True, plus my 580's have the custom triple cooler vga fans, temps are kept below 80 degrees at full load regardless.
I will soon purchase Hitman Absolution, should run great on my rig, I hope that is!

I did the benchmark in the game and i'm getting:
min fps: 22
average fps: 29
max fps: 91
Im having a GTX 670 oc @ +120core/+600memory and an i5 3750K @ 4.4Ghz....
With stock graphic card i'm getting 6-7 fps less.
Is this normal??? I'm having really low fps at times in the game.
By the way i'm using the latest beta drivers from few days ago...res 1920x1080

Hilbert, i'd advise featuring some kind of Ultra preset benchmarking, even if the average frames would be 30fps with a 680 or the like it's the Ultra preset we're interested in after all.
As it is i dunno if my card could manage a decent framerate with my usual Ultra setting without AA nor blur effects.
I imagine that if Ultra was tested with this game the nvidia cards would have looked even worse than they do currently, if this game is a stubborn hog on nvidia cards folks gotta know.

So what's the deal, is this game really unoptimized or is the horrible performance on a GTX 680 justified somehow?

It seems like turning the msaa off gained for me a lot of fps (60+) and everything else on ultra.
Now is playable, i'll try with msaa turned on 2x or 4x.

The first tutorial level then into the main game, settings maxed but no blur, dof, GI, nor AA used, this is what it took to hold 60fps.
I got the game running really nice, i'll maybe look into tweaking the bloom laters.
