Performance in Third Person 3D Shooters

Hitman: Contracts

Unlike Project: Snowblind, Hitman: Contracts can’t work normally if you enable FSAA and the Bloom effect simultaneously. The game prefers graphics processors with high pixel shader performance, but currently solutions from both GPU makers are such. So, the GeForce 7800 GTX stands firmly on the top of the podium, and the GeForce 6 family wins the low resolution. In higher resolutions, however, the RADEON solutions gain the lead. SLI technology fails with this game, bringing no positive effect or even reducing the performance.
