Hitman Closed Alpha Build Is A CPU Hog
Hitman's closed alpha testing is currently under way and it appears that the game has performance issues. A a Titan X seems unable to maintain constant 60fps at 1080p with all settings at Ultra.
Going into more details, a Titan X seems able to run the game with 35-45fps. Now some of you may be wondering whether this awful performance is caused by a CPU limitation. YouTube’s ‘polaric90′ did not reveal the CPU he was using, so this could very well be the case.

On the other hand, YouTube’s member ‘DavideLolli97′ tested the closed alpha build of Hitman with a GTX970 and an Intel i5 4690K. Intel’s i5 4690K is a quad-core CPU and Hitman was running with almost 30fps on that particular system.
The game features a lot of NPCs so this needs to be properly optimized in the later builds, however as it stands, Hitman’s closed alpha build has major performance issues.
This is something that is further strengthened by the fact that a GTX970 can run this closed alpha build with 40-45fps when an Intel i7 CPU is being used. YouTube’s member ‘Computatrum’ has shared a video showing Hitman running on a Intel i7 4790k with an NVIDIA GTX970, and the results were increased by 10-15fps (compared to DavideLolli97’s results).
Of course, do note that this is an alpha build. And we’ll say it one more time; this performance does not reflect the one of the final build. Still, it’s interesting to see how this particular build runs on both medium and high-end GPUs.

....its ok ,we buy 1000 $ gpu and we get 35-40 fps .What else game producers....game industry its really going down with all this un-optimized games ;console ports and so called demanding games.Titan x 35-40 fps;lets get serious ;no more preorders ;just wait and see reviews.

We know, but HH didnt post it in the news thread just to close it as if theres nothing to talk about.
The games visuals dont look all that great and taking that into account (along with being alpha) its a worry that a titanx can only pull 35-45fps @ 1080p.
At the end of the day though, if those who participated in the alpha dont provide feedback and others who didnt participate, dont voice their concerns, then whats the point in an alpha?

Haha i know, but its the same with Steam and its ''Early Access''. Since that came into life i stopped touching any thing ''alpha''
.
Yeah i dont like the game visuals either. Same with W3, crappy graphics and a resource hog. and why isnt Hitman a DX12 title?
But its a great way to test a new game on ''ordinary'' gamer rigs. Hoping they provide feedback ofcourse. Many dont..

Why, it looks like splinter cell conviction. Sure its alpha, but thats all there is currently to comment on.

Yes, I've never seen so many humans modelled like this.
The exterior of the building and fountain in particular were also very impressive.

Well, they DID say they were going back to their roots.
Remembering the original buggy, unoptimized mess Hitman games, they are doing it right.

Guess if it was optimized and everything worked it wouldn't be called an alpha version then.

I wish they would bring back the demo try before you buy..
As for Alpha they put the game out to test therefore they assumed it was in a user ready state this is when gamers should voice there opinions
otherwise developers assume all is well otherwise in Beta it will be the same and when released they wonder what the fuss is all about.
They should get Guru3d/other PC forums to issue Alpha keys to gamers if they want real game tests and not just kids playing.(not me I die to quick)

Most likely designed with the consoles in mind, so not surprised along with the fact that like AC unity (and most open world games) it'll be all those damn ai walking about.
I hope they change their minds on this episodic model. I cant even begin to imagine why they thought it'd be a great idea at all. I mean, of all the games to go episodic. Maybe there was a reason Valve gave up on the ep model with HL.
