Benchmark Results: Hitman Absolution loves AMD Radeon graphics cards and the ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II was at the top of the charts ahead of the mighty ASUS MARS 760 and even the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti reference card! Both of these cards cost more money, so it is always nice to see a lower cost card beating out more expensive cards.
