Hitman 2

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination exhibits a measured performance envelope in Hitman 2 that ranges from 183 fps at 1920x1080 Low down to 26 fps at 3840x2160 Ultra. The dataset shows the CPU in the 80th percentile among all tested processors and the GPU in the 72nd percentile, and this specific pairing registers a rank of 1669 out of 3711 tested combos. For a game from November 2018, the numbers indicate a strong lean towards high refresh rates at 1080p and playable mid-range settings at 1440p, with even the most demanding 4K presets staying within reach when settings are adjusted.

Settings Recommendations

At 1920x1080, the measured averages are 183 fps on Low, 137 fps on Medium, 104 fps on High, and 76 fps on Ultra. Every preset exceeds the standard 60 fps threshold, but the shift from Medium to High cuts frames by roughly a quarter (from 137 to 104). Ultra drops further to 76 fps, still fluid for most displays. The data suggests that the High preset offers the best balance: 104 fps is comfortably above 60, and it holds a 28 fps advantage over Ultra while retaining higher quality than Medium. If the display can accommodate frame rates beyond 100, then High is the recommended baseline.

At 2560x1440, the measurements are 117 fps on Low, 88 fps on Medium, 66 fps on High, and 49 fps on Ultra. The pattern here is distinct: Medium outperforms High by 22 fps (88 vs 66), meaning that the High preset provokes a disproportionate penalty for only a minimal quality gain. For a 1440p experience, Medium is the optimal pick, because it maintains a near-90 fps average, remains above 70% of the High's setting really. Low offers even higher frames but sacrifices quality. Ultra falls below the playable 50 fps line, so it is best avoided on this GPU. The data indicates that Medium at 1440p provides the most compelling blend of fidelity and smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the measured figures are 62 fps on Low, 47 fps on Medium, 35 fps on High, and 26 fps on Ultra. Only Low crosses the 60 fps barrier, guaranteeing a playable experience. Medium at 47 fps is borderline but may be acceptable for titles like Hitman 2, where stealth sequences do not demand pixel‑perfect frame pacing. High and Ultra both fall short of 40 fps and should be skipped unless the user tolerates slower frame. For a solid 4K experience on this exact GPU, the Low preset is the recommended option; Medium is an acceptable fallback if the user prefers visual fidelity over frame stability.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128‑bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 2280 MHz and the boost reaches 2497 MHz. These specifications, combined with the 3840 shading units, yield a measurable performance in the game’s tests. The GPU’s average benchmark score across the database is 26311, and its percentile ranking among all GPUs is 72. The data shows the RTX 5060’s capacity diminishes at higher resolutions, primarily because of the 8 GB frame buffer. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 26 fps, demonstrating a hard GPU ceiling under memory and compute load.

The nearest scoreboard rivals for this GPU, as recorded in the database, include the AMD Radeon 860M (average 26401) and the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 (average 26421) with deltaPct values of -0.3 for both, signifying essentially equal average performance. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (average 26553, delta -0.8) and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT (average 26011, delta 1.2) are also close neighbor. In practical terms, the RTX 5060 sits in a narrow band of GPUs that can deliver high frame rates at lower resolutions but struggle to maintain 60 fps at 4K Ultra in Hitman 2. The VRAM capacity of 8 GB is not explicitly reported as a limiting factor in the measured rows, but the pattern of steep frame losses at Ultra settings aligns with the heightened texture and compute demands typical of that preset.

Q: Is the RTX 5060 enough for this game?

The data shows it can run at high framerates at 1080p and medium preset 1440p, but at Ultra 4K it falls below 30 average. The decision depends on the display resolution and desired frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured performance of this processor-GPU pair places it at position 1660 of 3712 in the database’s full tested set. That rank – 1660 out of 3710 – corresponds to a percentile nearing the 55th, given the fraction of combinations still more than those above. With a dataIsMeasured flag set to true, the result is a real test outcome, not a placement. The rank is not exceptional, but Hitman 2 is an older title that benefits more from the strong per-core strength of the 3D V‑Cache CPU than from the absolute capability of the GPU. The CPU’s benchmark standing (80th percentile) suggests that the processor is a standout in the pairing, while the GPU’s (72th percentile) is also strong, though not top teir.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a 8-core – Core - 8 unit, 16 threads, with a 3.4 GHz base and 4.6 GHz boost. It is based on Zen 3 with an L3 cache of 96 MB, which is a 7 nm TSMC design. Its measured average benchmark score across all tests is 27896, placing it in the top 80 piece. In the CPU test suite, there are notable extras: Cinebench R23 multicore delivers 1434 points, singlecore 1452. The 3DMark 2‑thread score is 1746, and the single‑thread score is 884, indicating decent single-core strength. This becomes relevant in hits like Hitman 2, which are known to rely on souped sim simulation and AI logic; the strong single‑thread results match those requirements.

The nearest rivals in the database are based on average score: AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (avg 27887, delta 0), Intel Core i9-10900K (avg 2E788, delta 0.1), AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 380 (avg 27932, -0.1), Intel Core i5-1269 (avg 27800, 0.3). These delta values indicate the gap less than 0.3% between the CPU and its billing. In a highly single-thread-bound title like a stealth action, the 5800X3D’s 8 hefty cores and large L3 cache serve to feed the RTF 5060 without generating a CPU bottleneck. The measured frame rates at 1080p Low, which can reach 183 fps, show the CPU is not the limiting particle at that setting; only when the GPU is loaded at 3220x2160 Ultra do we see a drop to low 20 fps, pointing to the video card as the star.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All metrics provided in the dataset are scalar averages; for Medium settings the list includes a minimum and maximum FPS, but other rows only have the average.

#### 3840x2160

| Setting | Avg | Min | Max |

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

| Low | 62 | – | – |

| Medium | 47 | 40 | 54 |

| High | 35 | – | – |

| Ultra | 26 | – | – |

The most immediate observation is the pronounced step from Medium – which logs an average 47 and a minimum of 40 – down to High (35) and Ultra (27). Low (62) is the only preset that reaches a 60‑frame average at 4K.

#### 2560x1440

| Setting | Avg | Min | Max |

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

| Low | 117 | – | – |

| Medium | 88 | 75 | 101 |

| High | 66 | – | – |

| Ultra | 49 | – | – |

The 1440p dataset shows a different pattern. Medium stays above 75 even at the lowest point, while High falls from a 88 average to 66. Up the chart, Low still holds time at 117. Ultra is the only setting below the 50 fps threshold.

#### 1920x1080

| Setting | Avg | Min | Max |

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

| Low | 183 | – | – |

| Medium | 137 | 117 | 158 |

| High | 104 | – | – |

| Ultra | 76 | – | – |

All presets exceed 70 fps, and the upper tier – Medium and above – stay well above the 120‑frame mark. Low sets the pace at 183, Medium with a 137 average and 117 minimum, high at 104, ultra 76. These numbers clearly present a processor capable of sustaining frame generation at lower resolution raw throughput.

The summary across all resolutions and presets: the RX as always holds 1080p, smoothens at 2690x1440 and offers limited playability at 4K only when the visual load is reduced to the lowest preset. The between High and Low is ninety percent different in 4K, showing how sensible the Vulkan implementation is to the 8 GB buffer.
