Gaming Performance - Part 2
Contents
Hitman
Hitman is an action/stealth game, launched in March 2016, that uses a DirectX 12 compatible version of the Glacier 2 engine. To measure performance in this game, we ran the benchmark in it, measuring the framerate with FRAPS. We ran this game with DirectX 12 enabled, with image quality set as “high” and SMAA on.
The results below, in Full HD and 4K, are expressed in frames per second.
On Hitman, in Full HD, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 20% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 36% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 75% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 30% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
With 4K resolution, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 24% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 37% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 95% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 28% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
Mad Max
Mad Max is an open-world action game launched in September of 2015, using the Avalanche engine. In order to measure the performance using this game, we ran its intro, measuring the framerate with FRAPS three times. We ran the game with image quality set as “very high”.
The results below are expressed in fps and they are the mean between the three collected results.
On Mad Max, in Full HD, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 23% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 34% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 60% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 45% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
On 4K, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 22% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 39% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 67% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 43% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an open-world RPG released in May of 2015 and based on the REDengine 3 engine. In order to measure the performance on this game, we walked around at the first scene of the game, measuring the frame rate with FRAPS three times. We ran the game with image quality set to “ultra.”
The results below are expressed in fps and they are the mean between the three collected results.
In this game, in Full HD, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 26% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 32% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 49% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 59% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
With 4K resolution, the GeForce GTX 1070 “Founders Edition” was 21% slower than the GeForce GTX 1080, 35% faster than the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, 63% faster than the GeForce GTX 970, and 41% faster thank the Radeon R9 390.
