Hitman 2

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Hitman 2 across three resolutions and four quality presets reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution, but the shape of that curve tells a clear story about where the bottleneck sits. At 1080p Low, the combo of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers 170.8 FPS average, which is a strong showing for a stealth title that rewards high frame rates. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 112 FPS, a reduction of roughly 34% from the 1080p figure. At 4K Low, the average falls to 57 FPS, which is about half of the 1440p number and roughly one-third of the 1080p result.

The pattern across quality settings reinforces the GPU-bound nature of the higher resolutions. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial: 170.8 FPS versus 74.1 FPS, a difference of 96.7 FPS. That spread narrows at 1440p, where Low produces 112 FPS and Ultra drops to 46.2 FPS. At 4K, the spread compresses further: Low hits 57 FPS, Medium 44.8 FPS, High 35.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 22.3 FPS. This compression at 4K indicates that the RTX 4060’s 8 GB GDDR6 frame buffer and 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are being saturated, leaving less headroom for quality improvements.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU still has room to push, but as resolution climbs, the GPU becomes the primary limiter. The jump from 1080p High at 99.1 FPS to 1440p High at 64.7 FPS is a 34.4 FPS drop, while the move from 1440p High to 4K High is a 28.8 FPS drop. The fact that 4K Low (57 FPS) nearly matches 1440p High (64.7 FPS) indicates that resolution scaling is steep, and users targeting 60 FPS at 4K will need to compromise on quality. Conversely, 1080p Ultra at 74.1 FPS is playable, and 1440p Medium at 82.6 FPS offers a balanced experience without dipping below 60 FPS.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p High settings?

A: The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings is 99.1. This is comfortably above 60 FPS and suggests a smooth experience for most players on a standard 1080p display.

Q: Can this combo maintain 60 FPS at 4K?

A: At 4K Low settings, the average FPS is 57, which is below 60. At 4K Medium, it drops to 44.8 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 22.3 FPS. Only at 4K Low does the system approach 60 FPS, and it still misses that target.

A: The RTX 4060’s average benchmark score is 23181. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 23321, which is a deltaPct of -0.6%, meaning the RX 6600M is slightly ahead. The Intel Arc B580 is 0.7% behind, with a score of 23021.

Q: What is the CPU’s multi-threaded performance relative to its rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 25626. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U scores 25706, a deltaPct of -0.3%, meaning it is marginally faster. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER is 0.4% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U is 0.6% ahead.

Q: What is the combo’s rank among all tested combinations in this game?

A: The combo ranks 1027 out of 1795 tested combinations in Hitman 2. This places it in the upper-middle portion of the field, indicating that while it is not a top-tier pairing, it delivers respectable performance.

Q: What is the GPU’s memory configuration?

A: The RTX 4060 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2125 MHz, with 17 Gbps effective speed.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, and fabricated on TSMC’s 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. This configuration is well-suited for Hitman 2, a title that benefits from strong single-thread performance but also scales with additional cores in crowded scenes.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 20755 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2930 in single-core. Its 3DMark 16-thread score is 6629, while the 2-thread score is 1758. The single-thread 3DMark score is 899, which is relatively low compared to modern desktop parts, but the game’s engine appears to handle this adequately at 1080p. At 1080p Low, the CPU drives 170.8 FPS, which suggests that the processor is not the limiting factor at this resolution. However, at 1080p Ultra, the average drops to 74.1 FPS, and the gap between Low and Ultra is 96.7 FPS. This indicates that even at 1080p, the GPU is starting to struggle with the higher-quality settings.

The CPU’s 16 threads provide headroom for background tasks, and its PassMark multithread score of 24419 confirms strong parallel performance. The 3DMark max-thread score of 6627 is nearly identical to the 16-thread score, which means the processor is fully utilized at that thread count. For Hitman 2, the data shows that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at 1080p and 1440p, as evidenced by the fact that FPS scales primarily with resolution and quality rather than being capped by the processor. The Ryzen 7 5700G’s percentile rank of 83 among all CPUs indicates it performs better than most processors on the market, but it is not a high-end enthusiast chip.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 4060 ranks 1027 out of 1795 tested combos in Hitman 2, placing it in the 57th percentile of all tested pairs. This is a mid-pack result, and the data shows that while the system is capable of delivering playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, it is far from the top tier. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25626 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU’s average score of 23181 puts it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. The combination of a strong CPU with a mid-range GPU results in a system that performs well at lower resolutions but struggles at 4K.

The nearest CPU rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores 25706 (0.3% higher), and the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, which scores 25532 (0.4% lower). The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, which scores 23321 (0.6% higher), and the Intel Arc B580, which scores 23021 (0.7% lower). These small deltas suggest that the combo is closely matched with several other mid-range pairings. The rank of 1027 out of 1795 means that roughly 43% of tested combos outperform it, which is consistent with the GPU’s 66th-percentile standing. For a game like Hitman 2, which is not overly demanding, this combo is adequate but not exceptional.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, using the AD107 chip fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with a TDP of 115 W. The GPU features 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, along with 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores. Its FP32 performance is rated at 15.11 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The card is a dual-slot design, 240 mm long, and requires a single 12-pin power connector with a suggested 300 W PSU.

In Hitman 2, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution climbs. At 1080p Low, the system hits 170.8 FPS, but at 4K Low, it drops to 57 FPS. The 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but becomes a bottleneck at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS is just 22.3. The GPU’s PassMark G3D score is 19545, and its Geekbench OpenCL score is 101030. These scores are consistent with its 66th-percentile ranking among all GPUs.

The RTX 4060’s 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores are not heavily utilized in Hitman 2, which is a game that does not feature ray tracing as a core mechanic. However, the GPU’s raw rasterization performance is what drives the frame rates. At 1440p High, the combo delivers 64.7 FPS, which is close to the 60 FPS target. At 1080p High, the 99.1 FPS result shows that the GPU has ample headroom at this resolution. The data indicates that the RTX 4060 is a capable 1080p and 1440p card for Hitman 2, but 4K gaming is only feasible at Low settings, and even then, the 57 FPS average is slightly below the ideal 60 FPS threshold. The GPU’s memory bandwidth and capacity are the primary constraints at 4K, as evidenced by the significant FPS drops when moving from Medium to Ultra at that resolution.
