Hitman 2

Hitman 2 is a stealth game released on 2018-11-12, and the database records measured performance for the Intel Core i5-12400F plus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination across three resolutions and four quality settings. The data set is marked as measured, meaning the average FPS values come from actual runs rather than estimates. The pairing unites a 6-core Alder Lake desktop CPU with a 32 GB GDDR7 Blackwell 2.0 GPU, and the results show how the balance shifts as resolution and graphics load rise.

Resolution Scaling

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|

| 1920x1080 | 307.1 | 261.6 | 198.5 | 143.2 |

| 2560x1440 | 221.8 | 170.2 | 128.1 | 93 |

| 3840x2160 | 121.3 | 87.2 | 67.8 | 50.9 |

The Low preset produces the largest absolute fall: 307.1 FPS at 1920x1080 drops to 221.8 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 121.3 FPS at 3840x2160. Medium follows the same shape, going from 261.6 to 170.2 to 87.2 FPS. High moves from 198.5 to 128.1 to 67.8 FPS, and Ultra from 143.2 to 93 to 50.9 FPS. Every quality level loses a large portion of its frame rate when resolution increases, which is the expected behavior when the rendering workload scales with output size.

The resolution step also matters more than the quality step in several cases. At 1440p Ultra, the average is 93 FPS, while 4K Medium is only 87.2 FPS. In other words, moving from 1440p Ultra to 4K Medium costs performance despite lowering the quality preset. Similarly, 1080p Ultra runs at 143.2 FPS, while 4K Low is 121.3 FPS, so even the highest 1080p setting remains ahead of the lowest 4K setting in this data.

This pattern points to the GPU as the main limiter at 3840x2160. As resolution climbs, the frame rate falls consistently across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, indicating that the graphics card is doing progressively more work. At 1920x1080 Low, the 307.1 FPS average is the highest result in the entire set, and at that point the CPU is more likely to be a factor, although this benchmark data does not include separate CPU and GPU utilization figures.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 in this combo carries 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1750 MHz and an effective data rate of 28 Gbps. Memory bandwidth is listed at 1.79 TB/s. The GPU base clock is 2017 MHz, and the boost clock is 2407 MHz. The card has 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, 176 ROPs, 170 ray tracing cores, and 680 tensor cores. Its FP32 compute rating is 104.8 TFLOPS, with a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s.

Those specifications sit behind the measured Hitman 2 frame rates. At 4K High, the combo produces 67.8 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it produces 50.9 FPS, the only measured average in the data below 60 FPS. The 32 GB memory pool and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are directly associated with these 4K results, since the frame buffer must feed a larger output resolution while handling High and Ultra settings.

Synthetic GPU results also reflect this card’s position. The aggregate benchmark average is 84306, placing the RTX 5090 at the 94th percentile of all GPUs. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 14411, Geekbench OpenCL is 380114, Geekbench Vulkan is 379571, and Passmark G3D is 39650. Against its nearest rivals by aggregate score, the RTX 5090 is above the RTX 5090 D (84241, deltaPct 0.1) and the RTX 5050 Mobile (84171, deltaPct 0.2). It is also above the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 (83209, deltaPct 1.3). The NVIDIA CMP 40HX has a higher aggregate score at 85637, which corresponds to a deltaPct of -1.6 for the RTX 5090.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from Core 12th Gen, built on Alder Lake-S. It runs at a 2.50 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost clock. The cache layout is 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, and it uses PCIe Gen 5 with 20 CPU lanes. The package is built on Intel’s 10 nm process with a 163 mm² die size.

In this Hitman 2 data, the highest measured average is 307.1 FPS at 1080p Low. That result shows the CPU side can drive very high frame rates when the graphics load is minimal. At 1080p High, the average is 198.5 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it is 143.2 FPS. Because the 4K Ultra result is only 50.9 FPS, the performance ceiling at high resolution is set by the GPU rather than by this 6-core processor.

General CPU benchmarks also characterize the i5-12400F. Its aggregate benchmark average is 19221, which places it at the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Cinebench R23 multi-core is 16518 and single-core is 2332. Cinebench R20 multi-core is 6937 and single-core is 979. Geekbench multi-core is 9138 and single-core is 2221. Passmark multithread is 19433 and single-thread is 3481. In nearest-rival terms, the Intel Core i7-8700K averages 19210 (deltaPct 0.1), the Intel Core i5-1335U averages 19167 (deltaPct 0.3), the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS averages 19364 (deltaPct -0.7), and the AMD EPYC 7773X averages 18979 (deltaPct 1.3). The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5, but the Hitman 2 data does not identify which memory type was used in the measured configuration.

How This Combo Ranks

Hitman 2 places the Intel Core i5-12400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination at rank 22 out of 1795 tested combos. That is a measured ranking rather than an estimate. The CPU sits at the 77th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU sits at the 94th percentile of all GPUs, so the combo’s in-game placement is high relative to both components’ aggregate positions.

The frame rate data supports that placement. Across all twelve measured resolution and settings combinations, the highest result is 307.1 FPS at 1080p Low, and the lowest is 50.9 FPS at 4K Ultra. The High preset shows the same hierarchy: 198.5 FPS at 1080p, 128.1 FPS at 1440p, and 67.8 FPS at 4K. Those numbers are consistently strong enough to give the combo a rank of 22 out of 1795 in the Hitman 2 database.
