Performance - dGPU Extended Tests GeForce GTX 1080 - DX12: Hitman (2016)

Hitman is a stealth video game series developed by the Danish company IO Interactive. The story revolves around Agent 47 (usually simply referred to as "47" or "Mr. 47"), a cloned assassin-for-hire, whose flawless record places him in high demand among the wealthy and elite.

Here is where we return to single card performance again, with a wide scope of products. We think WQHD at 2560x1440 is going to be a sweet-spot for gamers this year, resolution wise. Hitman system requirements will vary greatly depending the graphics settings, but a modest PC will be required to run the game at medium settings or better. Hitman is built on the Glacier game engine, and will have variable system requirements. 

The differences are very close in-between the Intel processors, AMD's faster A10 7870K APU was a stutter-fest. There was something else going on for sure, hence these results. However, the AMD FX 8370 at 190 EURO - let's be freakishly honest here, if your PC is about gaming it won't be the fastest but it will remain plenty fast - that CPU still ooozes value.
