Hitman Absolution Frame Experience Analysis

Above a percentile chart of the 30 seconds @ 2560x1440. Here we plot FPS and place it in relation to percentiles. This methodology could be used to determine average FPS as well.

Check the 50% marker:

  • R7-260X does roughly 23 FPS on average in this scene sequence
  • R9-270X does roughly 38 FPS on average in this scene sequence
  • R9-280X does roughly 57 FPS on average in this scene sequence

But now lets look at frame latency.

On this 30 second run all graphics cards manages to remain at a very constant rendering flow with fairly low latency for the two fastest cards. We cannot detect any noticeable anomalies like glitches and stutters. This is a very good result really. The one drop in latency for the R9-280X is not visible, and nothing of concern whatsoever.

For those that do not understand what you are looking at, the above is a scene rendered, the first 30 seconds of the Hitman integrated benchmark. 

With this chart, lower = better. Huge spikes above 40-50ms can be considered a problem like a stutter or indicate a low framerate. For all three cards this is a near perfect result.
