GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the primary rendering engine for this pairing, and its specifications directly influence the measured FPS results. The GPU is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB205 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It carries 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die. The memory subsystem consists of 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, with an effective data rate of 28 Gbps. This memory configuration is a key factor in high-resolution performance, particularly at 3840x2160 where bandwidth demands are highest.

The GPU's compute resources include 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operations pipelines. The RTX 5070 also features 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores, though Hitman 2's benchmark results reflect rasterization performance primarily. The base clock is 2325 MHz, boosting to 2512 MHz. Pixel rate reaches 201.0 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 482.3 GTexel/s. Floating-point performance is rated at 30.87 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which covers the API requirements for Hitman 2.

The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern tied to GPU load. At 1920x1080 Low, the average FPS is 256.2, which indicates the GPU is not the bottleneck at this setting. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average drops to 38.1 FPS, showing the GPU becoming heavily constrained. The difference between Low and Ultra at 3840x2160 is 50.0 FPS (from 88.1 to 38.1), which is a substantial performance penalty driven by the increased pixel count and shading complexity. The GPU's percentile ranking of 83 and its average benchmark score of 41687 place it well above the median, and the nearest rival comparison shows it is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 and 0.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a Zen 3 architecture processor from the 5000 series, codenamed Cezanne, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. It contains 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The CPU provides 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The CPU uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes, and it includes Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics. The launch MSRP is $259.

In CPU-bound scenarios, the 5600G's single-thread and multi-thread performance matters. Its benchmark scores show a single-thread Cinebench R23 result of 2365 and a multi-thread result of 16758. Geekbench scores are 1933 for single-core and 7693 for multi-core. The 3DMark scores scale from 872 (single-thread) to 5455 (max threads), indicating reasonable scaling across cores. PassMark single-thread is 3177 and multi-thread is 19717. The CPU's percentile ranking is 78 among all CPUs, and its average benchmark score is 19983. The nearest rival comparisons show it is essentially tied with the Intel Core i7-11600H (0.2% ahead), Intel Core i7-11800H (0.2% behind), AMD EPYC 7713P (0.2% behind), and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX (0.3% ahead).

For Hitman 2, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU has spare capacity. At 1920x1080 Low, the system reaches 256.2 FPS average, a figure that requires strong per-thread performance to feed the GPU. The 5600G's boost clock of 4.40 GHz and Zen 3 architecture provide the necessary throughput. At higher resolutions like 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the CPU's influence diminishes; the FPS drops are more attributable to GPU load than CPU capability. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration is sufficient for Hitman 2's threading model, which does not heavily stress beyond that count based on the measured results.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets each, providing a full picture of performance scaling.

At 1920x1080, the results are: Low averages 256.2 FPS, Medium averages 191 FPS, High averages 145.3 FPS, and Ultra averages 107.8 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline, with the largest single drop occurring between Low and Medium (65.2 FPS). The gap from High to Ultra is 37.5 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system has enough headroom for high refresh rate displays even at High settings, and Ultra remains comfortably above 100 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 165.9 FPS, Medium at 120.5 FPS, High at 91.2 FPS, and Ultra at 67.9 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by roughly 35-40% across settings. For example, High drops from 145.3 to 91.2 FPS, a reduction of 54.1 FPS. Ultra drops from 107.8 to 67.9 FPS, a reduction of 39.9 FPS. The 1440p High result of 91.2 FPS is still suitable for smooth gameplay on standard 60 Hz displays, while Ultra at 67.9 FPS remains playable.

At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 88.1 FPS, Medium at 65.5 FPS, High at 48.6 FPS, and Ultra at 38.1 FPS. The 4K results show a significant performance penalty. Low dips below 90 FPS, and Ultra falls to 38.1 FPS, which is below the typical 60 FPS target for smooth play. The delta between Low and Ultra at 4K is 50.0 FPS, the largest absolute spread among all resolutions. Compared to 1440p, the 4K High result of 48.6 FPS is roughly half of the 1440p High result of 91.2 FPS, illustrating the quadratic scaling of pixel count.

Across all configurations, the data shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Hitman 2, with 4K requiring settings reductions to maintain playable frame rates. The measured values are consistent with the GPU's 12 GB memory capacity and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, which are adequate for 4K textures but not sufficient to sustain high settings at that resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

This CPU-GPU combination ranks 386th out of 1795 tested combos in Hitman 2, placing it in the 78th percentile of all pairings in the database. The rank reflects a balance between the CPU's 78th percentile standing among all CPUs and the GPU's 83rd percentile among all GPUs. The combination does not reach the top tier, but it sits comfortably above the median.

The ranking is influenced by both components' relative performance. The CPU's average benchmark score of 19983 is within 0.3% of its nearest rivals, indicating that the 5600G is not a performance outlier in either direction. The GPU's average benchmark score of 41687 places it 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 and 0.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, while trailing the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 0.5% and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 0.7%. These small deltas suggest that the GPU is well-positioned among its peers.

In the context of Hitman 2 specifically, the 386th rank out of 1795 combos means that roughly 21% of tested pairings perform better. The measured FPS data shows that the combo achieves 107.8 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 67.9 FPS at 1440p Ultra, which are strong results for a stealth game that does not require extreme frame rates. The 4K Ultra result of 38.1 FPS is the weakest point, pulling the overall rank down relative to combos with more powerful GPUs that can sustain 4K Ultra at higher frame rates.

The ranking also reflects the CPU's mid-tier positioning. While the 5600G performs admirably at lower resolutions, combos with higher-end CPUs would achieve better minimum frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. However, the data shows that in Hitman 2, the GPU is the dominant factor at 1440p and 4K, so the CPU's contribution to the overall rank is secondary. The 386th rank is a reasonable outcome for this pairing, given that the GPU is in the 83rd percentile and the CPU is in the 78th percentile. The combination delivers solid 1080p and 1440p performance, with 4K requiring settings compromises, which is consistent with its mid-to-upper tier ranking.
