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 Radeon RX 580 8 GiB performed similarly to the GeForce GTX 1060 6 GiB, and was 6% faster than the Radeon RX 480 8 GiB.
With 4K resolution, the Radeon RX 580 8 GiB was in a technical tie with the GeForce GTX 1060 6 GiB, and was 6% faster than the Radeon RX 480 8 GiB.
