Hitman 2

Hitman 2, released in 2018, is measured here with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. The data set covers Low, Medium, High, and Ultra presets at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, with average FPS values that range from 281 down to 46. The combination ranks 142nd out of 1,795 tested combinations, placing it high in the overall Hitman 2 combo table while still leaving a long list of faster pairings ahead.

Resolution Scaling

The measured rows show a steady FPS loss as resolution increases. At High settings, the average is 171.4 FPS at 1080p, 111.7 FPS at 1440p, and 57.7 FPS at 4K. The same pattern appears at every preset. Low settings produce 281 FPS at 1080p, 195.5 FPS at 1440p, and 102.1 FPS at 4K. Medium settings produce 225.6 FPS at 1080p, 142.5 FPS at 1440p, and 76.7 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings produce 123.6 FPS at 1080p, 82.6 FPS at 1440p, and 46 FPS at 4K.

This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant limiter at 4K. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 281 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire data set. The same card at 4K Low drops to 102.1 FPS even though the preset is unchanged. The difference between 1080p and 4K grows with visual workload, and the lowest measured result is 46 FPS at 4K Ultra. That makes sense for a rendering pipeline where pixel count rises sharply with resolution. At lower resolutions, the CPU has more relative influence; at 4K, the frame rate is primarily following the GPU’s rendering cost.

The preset spread also matters. At 1080p, Low sits at 281 FPS and Ultra at 123.6 FPS. At 4K, Low sits at 102.1 FPS and Ultra at 46 FPS. The data does not separate CPU time from GPU time, but the pattern points to the GPU as the component that is most sensitive to resolution scaling in this game.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, with 736.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its base clock is 2295 MHz, its boost clock is 2550 MHz, and its memory clock is listed at 1438 MHz with 23 Gbps effective. These specifications give the card a large amount of raw pixel throughput. The card also has 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units, with a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s.

The measured Hitman 2 results reflect that capacity. At 4K Medium, the card averages 76.7 FPS. At 4K High, it averages 57.7 FPS. At 4K Low, it averages 102.1 FPS. Even the heaviest tested cell, 4K Ultra, still produces 46 FPS. The measured rows do not include VRAM usage, so the 16 GB frame buffer cannot be directly mapped to memory pressure in this title. However, the bandwidth figure of 736.3 GB/s and the high boost clock are consistent with a card that can maintain strong average FPS across all measured resolutions.

In aggregate GPU benchmarks, the RTX 4080 SUPER averages 53610 and sits in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all below that average score. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT is 0.2% lower, the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 0.4% lower, the AMD Radeon RX 7700S is 2.1% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is 2.9% lower. That narrow gap around the 4080 SUPER helps explain why the Hitman 2 results are strong but not absolute outliers: the GPU is clearly high-end, yet several tested combinations still rank ahead in the combo table.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the Zen 3 generation. It has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with 16 MB of L3 cache and a 65 W TDP. Its aggregate average benchmark score is 19983, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. That is a solid mid-range position, but it is below the GPU’s 88th percentile, which means the CPU is the weaker half of this pairing on aggregate benchmark strength.

The CPU’s nearest rival data shows a tightly packed field. The Intel Core i7-11600H is 0.2% lower than the 5600G’s average score, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX is 0.3% lower. The Intel Core i7-11800H and AMD EPYC 7713P are each 0.2% higher. The 5600G is therefore effectively tied with several very different processor types in general compute performance.

For Hitman 2 specifically, the CPU’s single-thread and multithread scores are relevant context. The 5600G scores 3177 in PassMark single-thread testing and 2365 in Cinebench R23 single-core testing. It scores 19717 in PassMark multithread testing and 16758 in Cinebench R23 multicore testing. These numbers describe a 6-core part with enough single-core strength to drive high frame rates and enough thread count to support a game that spreads work across multiple cores.

The measured frame rates support that view. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 281 FPS, which is the highest measured cell in the data. Even at 1080p Ultra, the average stays at 123.6 FPS. The CPU is not capping this pair at a low frame rate; instead, the frame rate still responds strongly to GPU workload at 1080p. At 4K, the CPU becomes less prominent because the GPU is spending more time per frame, and the measured results fall as resolution climbs.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured rows provide a clear preset comparison:

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 1920x1080 | 281 | 225.6 | 171.4 | 123.6 |

| 2560x1440 | 195.5 | 142.5 | 111.7 | 82.6 |

| 3840x2160 | 102.1 | 76.7 | 57.7 | 46 |

At 4K, Medium is the most balanced preset in the measured data. It produces 76.7 FPS, which is well above High’s 57.7 FPS and Ultra’s 46 FPS. Low produces a higher average at 102.1 FPS, but Medium preserves more visual quality per the preset naming and still keeps a high measured average. For users who want the highest visual tier at 4K, Ultra remains available, but the data shows it comes with the largest average FPS penalty in this resolution group.

At 1440p, High is the strongest balanced choice. It produces 111.7 FPS, while Medium produces 142.5 FPS and Ultra produces 82.6 FPS. High keeps the average above 100 FPS in the measured data while maintaining a higher preset tier than Medium. Ultra is still playable at 82.6 FPS, but High offers more headroom in the same resolution.

At 1080p, Ultra is the best choice from the measured rows. It produces 123.6 FPS, which is the highest visual quality preset and still delivers a high average. High produces 171.4 FPS, so it is also a strong option for users who prioritize frame rate over preset quality. Medium and Low are higher still, but the data shows that Ultra is not overly costly at 1080p compared with its measured average.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo rank for this pairing in Hitman 2 is 142 out of 1,795 tested combinations. That places it in the upper portion of the list, although it is not near the very top. The rank reflects the overall measured FPS results across all preset and resolution combinations, not just a single row.

The component aggregate scores are consistent with a high rank. The GPU averages 53610 in general benchmarks and sits in the 88th percentile. The CPU averages 19983 and sits in the 78th percentile. The GPU is clearly the stronger component, and the measured Hitman 2 results follow that pattern: the pair can reach 281 FPS at 1080p Low and still hold 76.7 FPS at 4K Medium.

The nearest rival data does not name specific competing combos, so a direct comparison to the 141 faster pairings is not available from this fact pack. What can be stated is the ordinal result: 142nd of 1,795. Given that the CPU’s aggregate percentile is 78 and the GPU’s is 88, the game-specific rank of 142 shows that this pairing performs well overall while still leaving room for stronger CPU/GPU combinations above it.
