Hitman 2

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination delivers a robust set of frame rates across the four quality presets in Hitman 2. The measured data spans 1920×1080, 2560×1440, and 3840×2160, with averages ranging from the triple figures at lower resolutions to a playable 43 fps at the most demanding setting. This pairing ranks 255th out of 3711 tested configurations for this game, placing it in the top tier of the database. The following sections break down how the system behaves under different loads.

Resolution Scaling

At 1920×1080, the average frame rates are 302 (Low), 227 (Medium), 172 (High), and 126 (Ultra). The Medium preset also includes a minimum of 193 and a maximum of 261 frames per second. Moving to 2560×1440, the averages are 193 (Low), 145 (Medium), 110 (High), and 81 (Ultra). The Medium run there yields a minimum of 123 and a maximum of 167. At 3840×2160, the numbers are 103 (Low), 77 (Medium), 58 (High), and 43 (Ultra). For Medium, the min/max are 66 and 89.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p reduces the achievable framerate roughly by half at each quality level, and the further jump to 4K activates another substantial loss. This pattern – where the absolute difference in FPS between 1080p and 4K is much larger than the CPU‑related overhead – points to the GPU as the limiting component in this scenario. The CPU’s performance remains uniform across higher resolutions, as evidenced by the fact that the 1080p Low preset reaches 302 fps, which is more than enough to rank as one of the highest marks in the dataset.

The 4K Ultra result of 43 fps is below the 60 fps target typical for a smooth experience, while the same resolution’s Medium preset at 77 fps offers a comfortable margin. This indicates that the RTX 4080’s rendering pipeline is fully saturated at 4K Ultra, whereas at 1080p the system is capable of utilising the whole CPU earlier; however, the absolute throughput is high enough to keep the experience fluid.

GPU in the first

The GeForce RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD103 chip. Its base clock is 2205 MHz and the boost clock reaches 2505 MHz. The memory subsystem ships with 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256‑bit bus, providing 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. This capacity is ample for the texture loads in Hitman 2, and the fact that the frame rates at 4K High reach 58 fps indicates that the digital bandwidth is not a bottleneck.

In aggregate benchmark scoring, the GPU sits at the 86th percentile among all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 5424.7. Compared to the closest rivals, this card is within 0.1% of the RTX 4080 SUPER (meaning about 0.1% higher measured score), and it is 1.1% lower than the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X. The gap to the AMD Radeon RX 6750‑GRE is -2.6% (i.e., this card scores lower by that magnitude), and to the AMD Radeon 8060S is -2.7%. These small delta values indicate that the RTX 4080 operates in a performance band that is extremely close to its nearest competitor, both hi‑end and mid‑range.

The VRAM and clock frequencies are sufficient for the measured settings; no instance of memory- or clock‑induced hitching appears in the data. The 64– but not – 16‑Gigabyte capacity far exceeds the requirements of this 2018 title.

Q: How does this combination rank among all tested configurations for Hitman 2?

A: This combo is ranked 255th out of 3711 tested combinations, placing it in the 6.8% top percent (calculated from the given 255/3711, but we only use the numbers).

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field reports a rank of 255 out of 3711 configurations that have been evaluated in Hitman 2. This places the CPU‑GPU pair at a very high percentile (top 6.9%, but the number involved is 255 ÷ 3711). At the CPU level, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D itself sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 39,768. The GPU enters the 86th percentile with an average score of 54,247. The combination of two component bulks that are near‑the‑top yields the strong overall rank. The small delta between the CPU and the bridged the nearest rivals – the 8840HS (0.4% slower), Ryzen AI 9 365 (-0.7%), Ryzen 1 450 (0.7%), and Ryzen 7 7700 (-0.8%) – shows that the 9800X3D is within a few tens of a percent of its nearest competitors, and the cumulative effect is a well‑placed score in the lock‑step with the top of that list.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. It also carries 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is a critical resource for game computing. Its TDP is 120 W and it uses the AM5 socket with 4 lanes of PCIe 5.0. The CPU’s aggregate performance is in the 87th percentile, with a passmark multithread score of 40,096 and a single‑thread score of 4,430. In Cinebench R23, multi‑core reaches 23.230 and single‑core 2,080.

These numbers indicate that in the low‑level, 1080p Low preset that hit 302 fps, the CPU can supply the frames without becoming the limiting factor. The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals that the frame change is almost entirely due to the GPU's render throughput. The Little amount of variation in the FPS between the 1080p and 144p settings (from 302 to 193, both at Low) is consistent with a CPU that can keep up with all these resolutions. The CPU’s high thread count and clock speeds allow it to feed even the lowest‑time‑sensitive scenario.

As the resolution climbs, the absolute frame numbers decline, but the FPS at the 4K Ultra is still 43, which shows that the GPU is over 60% of the work. The CPU does not hamper the pair in this title.

The data shows a linear trend across resolutions: with the same quality preset, both the average and the minimum frame rates scale down as pixel count increases. The presence of min/max values for the Medium settings indicates that the test run included measurable variability — at 1080p the FPS range is 193–261, at 1440p it is 123–167, and at 4K it is 66–89. This is typical for the temporal fluctuations of a GPU.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured rows, the optimal preset depends on the resolution the user targets.

At 1920×1080 – The Ultra preset delivers 126 FPS, which is already sufficiently smooth for a stealth shooter, but the High preset (172 FPS) offers a generous headroom for high refresh‑rate displays. Low yields 302 FPS, but that sacrifices visual quality. The data suggests picking High for the sweet spot of visual clarity and frame rates; there is no need to go below High unless simulation of lower resolution is the goal.

At 2560×1440 – The High preset runs at 110 FPS, which is near the 144 Hz threshold for many displays. The Medium preset’s 145 FPS plus 23 FPS minimum (123) is even more fluid, and the Ultra preset (81 FPS) is still playable but on the lower end. For a balanced experience, Medium is the most natural recommendation because it maintains the maximum frame rates.

At 3840×2160 – The Medium preset (77 FPS) is the highest average that stays above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium range (66–89) stays above 60, unlike the Low preset (103) which is uncapped, but the Low loses a lot of visual fidelity. The High preset (58 FPS) is below the common “smooth” mark, and Ultra (43 FPS) is only suitable for cinematic-style play. Therefore, Medium is the recommended setting for 4K gameplay, offering a 30% improvement, and still above 60 FPS.

In all cases, the measured data shows that the RTX 4080 and Ryzen 7 9800X3D combination provides a viable start at every preset, and the only sensible reduction is to use Medium at 4K to gain the full experience.
