Hitman: Absolution discussion

If you plan on maxing the graphics...be warned...we are talking insane system requirements for high to ultra graphics.
That said it is an absolutely gorgeous game, they did an astonishingly awesome job with the in game graphics.

As a tip, maxed out the game makes a i7 + GTX670 look slow :D although its not a fast paced game so running at between 40-70 fps is perfectly fine. I think there is some optimizing to be done but wow its stunning. Will up load Screen shots tomorrow...and yes I can max it :p

I haven't touched the gfx settings yet, but I should be able to max it :D
 
The game takes a massive performance hit when you enable MSAA. Without it's it's easily playable on my 2500k + GTX560ti on Ultra.

Quick dumb question, but what exactly does MSAA do?

I have the 2600K + 2xGTX 560ti in SLI, although, tbh, I really don't know how much difference the SLI makes in performance.

It's Multisampling Antialiasing, a very heavy form of AA.
 
I managed to play a little bit, at 4:00 this morning. Didn't really play for that long, but the little bit I did play was pretty impressive so far. Can't wait to get home tonight so I can really start playing.

I don't remember any patch. I just clicked play.


Played yesterday, I quite liked it unfortunately there was a power failure so I don't know where I will restart from.
 
MSAA seems to be the biggest issue. To avg 60fps during benchmark I disabled MSAA, set anisotropic to 4x and tweaked a few things from Ultra to High here and there. On that it runs 60fps avg for the bench mark.

Wondering if 60 is needed though? For this type of game 30fps should be fine and then I can open more taps :P

2500k 4.3ghz, GTX670 18% OC

Although its true, the MSAA does make it look incredible and its instantly noticeable when you don't have it enabled.
But yeah anyone will be fine playing this at 30fps+ seeing as its not a fast paced fps. That said its breathtakingly beautiful when maxed out. One of the best looking games we've seen all year.

Jip after installation, steam decided to start the 2GB update required to play the game. So i just left it :( All seems fine now, so i can't wait to get home and have a look :D
 
So far this game is rocking. It still feels like hitman, although with a lot of new features. And it's beautiful! Lots of replay value and I can't wait to max out all the achievements.

I kinda like the added focus on the story element too.
 
Finally got mine from Kalahari just now. Downloading patch now... just pity I won't be able to play before weekend (I'm burning to get started)
