Hitman 2

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a performance profile that is firmly mid-pack for Hitman 2, ranking 492nd out of 1,795 tested combinations. This places the combo in the 73rd percentile of all configurations, indicating that while it is not at the absolute top tier, it outperforms the vast majority of systems tested. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where the CPU’s Zen 3 architecture and the GPU’s Ada Lovelace compute capabilities complement each other without introducing a severe bottleneck in this title. The average FPS across all settings and resolutions is strong enough to suggest a capable gaming system, but the data reveals specific patterns in how the components interact under varying loads.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s 492nd position out of 1,795 tested configurations places it comfortably in the upper half of the database, with roughly 73% of all tested combos ranking below it. This is a respectable result for a system built around an APU-class processor paired with a dedicated high-end GPU. The Ryzen 7 5700G itself holds an 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25,626 points. Its nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark hierarchy are the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (scoring 25,706, a 0.3% difference), the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25,532, 0.4% higher), and the Intel Core 5 210H (25,490, 0.5% higher). The 5700G essentially trades blows with these parts, showing that its 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 16 MB L3 cache is competitive for multi-threaded workloads typical of modern game engines.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 achieves an 81st percentile ranking among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 37,283 points. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37,507, 0.6% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (38,008, 1.9% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38,135, 2.2% higher). The deltaPct values here are small, indicating that the RTX 4070 sits in a tightly contested performance band. The 4070’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are substantial, but the benchmark scores suggest it is not dramatically ahead of older or mobile parts in synthetic tests. In Hitman 2 specifically, the combo’s ranking is driven by the aggregate of measured FPS across twelve different resolution and settings combinations, which show a system that can handle the game at high frame rates in most scenarios but struggles to maintain smooth performance at the most demanding settings.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070’s role in Hitman 2 is defined by its VRAM capacity, clock speeds, and how those translate into frame rates across the tested spectrum. The GPU features a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These clocks are relatively high for a desktop part, and the 12 GB VRAM buffer is more than sufficient for Hitman 2’s asset streaming requirements, even at 4K Ultra settings. The data shows that the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions; at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 237.1 FPS, which is well beyond what most displays can refresh. However, as resolution and settings increase, the GPU’s workload grows, and the frame rates decline in a predictable manner.

The RTX 4070’s 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs are fully utilized when settings are raised to Ultra. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS drops to 101.4, a 57% reduction from the Low setting. This pattern continues at higher resolutions: at 1440p Ultra, the average is 62.3 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 32.3 FPS. These figures indicate that the GPU is the dominant component at high settings, as the CPU’s 16 threads provide enough headroom to feed the graphics card without becoming a constraint. The 4070’s performance relative to its rivals, such as being 0.6% slower than the RX Vega 56 and 2.2% slower than the RTX 4080 Mobile, shows that it is a solid but not exceptional performer for this game’s engine. The GPU’s 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is clearly adequate for the stealth title’s rendering needs, but the data suggests that the game’s visual effects at Ultra settings are demanding enough to push the card to its limits at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how the combo scales with resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 237.1 FPS at Low, 179 FPS at Medium, 134.2 FPS at High, and 101.4 FPS at Ultra. These numbers show that at 1080p, the system is capable of delivering very high frame rates, even at the highest quality preset. The step from Low to Medium results in a 24.5% drop in FPS, while moving from Medium to High reduces performance by 25%, and High to Ultra adds another 24.4% reduction. This linear scaling suggests that each settings tier adds a similar amount of GPU workload, which the RTX 4070 handles well.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are 152.9 FPS at Low, 112.3 FPS at Medium, 83.7 FPS at High, and 62.3 FPS at Ultra. The relative drops are consistent: Low to Medium is a 26.5% reduction, Medium to High is 25.5%, and High to Ultra is 25.6%. The 1440p results show that the combo maintains playable frame rates even at Ultra, though 62.3 FPS is close to the edge of what many players would consider smooth. The jump from 1080p to 1440p at each settings level reduces FPS by roughly 35-38%, indicating that the additional pixels put a significant load on the GPU.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more constrained. The average FPS is 79.5 at Low, 61.7 at Medium, 45.4 at High, and 32.3 at Ultra. The drop from Low to Medium is 22.4%, Medium to High is 26.4%, and High to Ultra is 28.9%. At 4K Ultra, the 32.3 FPS average is below the 60 FPS target for most gaming experiences, suggesting that users would need to lower settings to achieve a smoother experience. The progression from 1080p to 4K at each settings tier shows a consistent 65-68% reduction in FPS, which is a typical scaling factor for a GPU-bound scenario.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear pattern of FPS degradation as resolution increases, which provides insight into the limiting component. Moving from 1080p Low (237.1 FPS) to 1440p Low (152.9 FPS) results in a 35.5% reduction, and further to 4K Low (79.5 FPS) adds another 48% drop. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads are not the bottleneck for this workload. The 5700G’s 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates, but the RTX 4070’s rendering capacity is finite.

At High settings, the scaling is similar: 134.2 FPS at 1080p, 83.7 FPS at 1440p (a 37.6% drop), and 45.4 FPS at 4K (a 45.8% drop from 1440p). The consistency of these reductions across settings suggests that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are the determining factors. The RTX 4070’s 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are being taxed as the pixel count increases, which is expected for a modern game with high-resolution textures and effects. At Ultra settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 101.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 62.3 FPS at 1440p (38.6% reduction) and then to 32.3 FPS at 4K (48.2% reduction from 1440p). This indicates that the GPU is working near its limits at 4K Ultra, with the 32.3 FPS average showing that the card cannot maintain a playable frame rate at the highest settings in this title.

The resolution scaling analysis reveals that the combo is CPU-limited at 1080p Low, where the 237.1 FPS figure exceeds what the GPU can sustain at higher resolutions, but becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution and settings rise. The 4K Ultra result of 32.3 FPS is a clear sign that the RTX 4070, while a capable card, is not sufficient for maxed-out 4K gaming in Hitman 2. The data suggests that players targeting 4K should use High settings (45.4 FPS) or lower, while 1440p Ultra at 62.3 FPS is the highest quality setting that maintains a 60 FPS average. This combination of CPU and GPU provides a solid foundation for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K experience is limited by the GPU’s compute and memory resources.
