Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern across the three resolutions tested. At 1920x1080, even the most demanding preset delivers playable performance: Ultra averages 142.3 FPS, while Medium reaches 250.2 FPS and Low hits 287.7 FPS. For players prioritizing smoothness on standard monitors, Medium at 1080p offers a strong balance, delivering over 250 FPS without the visual compromises of Low.

At 2560x1440, the picture changes. Ultra averages 87.4 FPS, which is acceptable for many titles, but High jumps to 121.7 FPS — a 39% improvement over Ultra. Given that High typically retains most visual quality features while lifting frame rates substantially, this preset is the recommended choice for 1440p displays. Medium at 160.3 FPS is also viable for high-refresh-rate panels, but High provides the best compromise between fidelity and speed.

The 3840x2160 results reveal a steeper performance cliff. Ultra drops to 46.3 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. High recovers to 63.3 FPS, barely crossing that line. Medium at 87.4 FPS offers the most comfortable margin, nearly doubling Ultra's frame rate. For 4K gaming, the data suggests Medium as the optimal preset, as it provides a substantial performance buffer while maintaining reasonable visual quality. Low at 116.6 FPS is available for those prioritizing frame rate above all, but the jump from Medium to Low (29 FPS) is smaller than the leap from Ultra to Medium (41 FPS), making Medium the efficiency sweet spot.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing. Its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus delivers 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth, which is critical for feeding the GPU's 16,384 shading units at high resolutions. The card's boost clock of 2520 MHz (base 2235 MHz) drives a pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s.

In Hitman 2, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions. The measured data shows that at 1080p, the CPU can keep the GPU fed across all settings — the frame rate scales nearly linearly from Ultra (142.3 FPS) to Low (287.7 FPS). At 1440p, the GPU begins to show its limits at Ultra (87.4 FPS) but still delivers 216 FPS on Low. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck: even High settings produce only 63.3 FPS, while Ultra drops to 46.3 FPS.

The RTX 4090's compute capabilities — 82.58 TFLOPS FP32 and 82.58 TFLOPS FP16 — are not fully exercised by this 2018 title, which predates many modern rendering techniques. However, the card's raw rasterization power is what drives the high frame rates seen at lower resolutions. The 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores are present but underutilized in Hitman 2, which does not rely heavily on ray tracing or DLSS. The GPU's 450 W TDP and triple-slot design indicate a high-power component, but the benchmark results show that this power translates directly into frame rate headroom, particularly at 1080p and 1440p where the combo exceeds 120 FPS on most presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest absolute performance. Low settings produce an average of 287.7 FPS, Medium reaches 250.2 FPS, High hits 191.6 FPS, and Ultra settles at 142.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 145.4 FPS, representing a 102% difference. The step from Medium to High is the largest single drop (58.6 FPS), while High to Ultra is slightly smaller (49.3 FPS).

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the expected resolution penalty. Low averages 216 FPS, Medium drops to 160.3 FPS, High falls to 121.7 FPS, and Ultra reaches 87.4 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 128.6 FPS. Notably, Ultra at 1440p exactly matches Medium at 4K (87.4 FPS), illustrating the performance cost of resolution scaling in this engine.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress significantly. Low still manages 116.6 FPS, but Medium drops to 87.4 FPS, High falls to 63.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 46.3 FPS. The total range from Low to Ultra is 70.3 FPS. The relative drop from Medium to High (24.1 FPS) is larger than from High to Ultra (17 FPS), suggesting that High settings carry a disproportionately heavy load at 4K.

Across all resolutions, the scaling pattern is consistent: Low to Medium yields a moderate improvement (37.5 FPS at 1080p, 55.7 FPS at 1440p, 29.2 FPS at 4K), while High to Ultra imposes the steepest penalty per setting tier. This suggests that the Ultra preset enables features that disproportionately tax the GPU, particularly at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 63rd out of 1,795 tested combos in Hitman 2. This places it in the top 3.5% of all configurations tested for this game, a strong showing given the CPU's mid-range positioning.

The CPU itself sits in the 83rd percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 25,626. Its nearest rivals — the Ryzen 7 6800U (25,706, -0.3%), Xeon D-2752TER (25,532, +0.4%), Core 5 210H (25,490, +0.5%), and Ryzen 5 7640U (25,485, +0.6%) — are all within 1% of its score, indicating that the 5700G is competitively positioned in synthetic CPU benchmarks.

The RTX 4090, meanwhile, ranks in the 91st percentile among GPUs with an average score of 66,473. Its nearest rivals — Tesla T4 (66,733, -0.4%), Tesla P40 (66,127, +0.5%), Radeon Pro Vega 56 (67,097, -0.9%), and Quadro P6000 (67,320, -1.3%) — are all within 1.3% of its score, showing that the GPU is similarly clustered with high-performance alternatives.

The combo's rank of 63rd out of 1,795 suggests that the GPU's raw power compensates for the CPU's mid-tier standing. The 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads at up to 4.60 GHz provide adequate single-thread performance for Hitman 2's engine, while the RTX 4090's massive shader count and memory bandwidth deliver the frame rates measured. The fact that this pairing outperforms 96.5% of tested combos indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of in-game performance, with the CPU providing sufficient support without becoming a limiting factor at the tested settings.
