Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/20/2012 04:30 PM [ 41 comment(s) ]

In this review we'll look at Hitman Absolution VGA Graphics benchmark performance with roughly 20 graphics cards. The new and massively popular title is a great looking game. But how will it perform on a selection of different graphics cards ? This review will cover all these basics and then more.

CPU Bottleneck? I don't want to believe!!!!
But alas, I must concede :-(

I ran the test again a few times, and all of those times, my cpu % was 70-90% while the 7950 never went past 75%, it stayed between 60-75% the whole time the benchmark was running. So i guess this is confirmation that it's a cpu bottleneck? If so, is there any remedy other then replacing my cpu because i just don't have the money for that right now :-/
I have also have no experience with cpu overclocking either.

Video starts to get bottlenecked if one or more CPU cores is around 90%+ occupied.
Looking at overall CPU use isnt useful unless its at 0% or 100%.

ie 10% CPU use could be 40% on one core and 0% on the others.
Overall CPU use tells you very little.

You can do two things really,

1 - overclock
2 - Accept it. If the game runs good enough for you, (and 31 FPS is average I know) why create an issue that you can't solve ?

But yeah it's the CPU holding you back.

Very nice review, but with your conclusion for a single card 1. 7970 - 2. 680
I don't agree there, only in that big res, the gtx680 owns the hd7950 by only a bit.
So I'd say the second place is for the hd7950 with boost, also the price difference is fairly big.
Most people play on 1080p or 1200p.

AMD flavored title as it is part of the gaming evolved program.
