Hitman

Homepage: hitman.com | Publisher: Square Enix | Developer: IO Interactive

The sixth entry in the popular Hitman series sees Agent 47 return to our screens in full DX12 glory and with an even larger inventory of assassination methods. Gorgeous to look at yet intensive on hardware, this is a title that demands a quality GPU.

Hitman is an interesting title insofar as it highlights the shortcomings of cards with small frame buffers. The game won't allow high-quality settings unless 4GB of graphics memory is available, hence the 3GB GTX 1060 scoring zero. Minimum fps seems to plummet at one point in the benchmark, but even so, the RX 480 again delivers impressive gameplay at both resolutions.
