The sixth entry in the popular Hitman series sees Agent 47 return to our screens in full DX12 glory and with an even larger inventory of assassination methods. Gorgeous to look at yet intensive on hardware, this is a title that demands a quality GPU.

Hello, DX12. RX 480 manages GTX 980-like performance in this benchmark, boding well for future titles using the latest graphics API from Microsoft. 2,560x1,440 seems to be the go-to resolution here. Remember that the game is set to the highest-possible image quality.

Offering double the frame buffer of the GTX 970 and outpacing a premium partner model easily, this game is a poster child for the RX 480.
