Here’s how the PC version of Hitman 3 scales beyond the console version via top-end settings, how it compares to PS5 and Series X and our recommended settings for the best balance of performance and features. And of course, Alex Battaglia lets you know what’s what.

It runs great on my 1060. Setting level of detail to medium really helps out.
Moral of the story is math doesn't lie. Next time fanboys maybe dont wet yourselves and start dry humping each other's legs over a few frame dips. You know who you are. 😉
Damn.. So my 3080/I9 10850k build is going to be more than double the XSX power… Even more so when i overclock it. lol
on a Ryzen 3700x I get severe CPU bottlenecks on the level Mendoza if I push LOD to anything higher than Medium. On high/ultra the framerate drops to the 50s in some places, very odd considering I get 100+ fps in pretty much every other level I tested.
TLDW; PS5=RX 5700
XSX=RX 5700XT.
In COD CW Alex said the ps5 was between 2070 super up to 3060 . So the ps5 could easily go with 4K resolution as it did in previous games . The fact that Valhalla which is much more demanding open world game , performs better on ps5 with higher dynamic resolution and higher FPS . Series x has a problem with the FPS in general , they drop in every game almost , even nba2k21.
So PS5 GPU performance is below 2060 Super.
What's new?
The "PC version" should be a 1060 as this is the most common gaming PC. Not a PC that less than 0.001% of PCs can match.
I've not played these new Hitman games, assuming they were remakes of Hitman and Hitman 2, but this looks nothing like Hitman: Blood Money. Are these games not remakes?
5:48 4 core CPUs are rare? LOL. The overwhelming majority of gaming PCs are 4 cores. Take a look at steam stats.
So ps5 and x gpu is near 2060 not 2070?
Here I do not agree with digital foundry so far practically all games ran on ps5 to a good extent with higher details compared to XSX and in this game you can see that XSX does not give the engine on which Hitman runs better on PC and saddle more with XSX it means nothing cards that have far less performance than ps5 handle it better than ps5 it doesn't say anything about the performance of ps5 which so far has shown that surprisingly outperforming in its competitor's games is not always the fault of the machine but the engine which simply did not sit with the consoles
4 core CPU's are a rarity these days? You may be a little out of touch with reality these days.
These cards with which ps5 was compared far exceeds in other games it can be seen here on the contrary, even with much weaker cards ps5 loses it can not be limited by the memory bandwitch XSX ma in this very error I have divided blocks only 10 of them have a bandwidth of 556 GB / s the rest is only 368 GB / s Just not every game with a console will sit down other games that will not have a problem again, please beg the digital foundry not to break down over and over again one game it's just one game out of thousands more that won't have a problem this looks like you were tempted to take a subscription when this game caused a wave
I've said this before this engine is Brocken and crossgen game simply aren't fully running on nextgen gen code.
So about RTX 2070 on PS5, not as impressive as other games but still not the 1060 result gamers nexus got could you guys please test the games they did against pc hardware to where this result is coming from
Rtx3080 run well on 4K never drop below 60fps even on demanding area.
Once again Hitman is BLUE BA DA DEE DA DA
The engine on which the game runs some Clacier engine people hear about it for the first time this engine just didn't sit down with the PlayStation 5 and the engine is still on other minima games Here I would not look for a problem in the hardware but in the game engine which is new
Theres something wonderful about a polished game. Rather than just pushing tech and biting off more than you can chew.
Looking at you Cyberbug2077
Ps5 can't pass 2060 super lol
Uh, I've recently got a high end pc after a many years of console gaming. Feels good, recommend to everyone
Why not show the Argentina level which is clearly the most performance intensive one?
Is there an SLI profile for this game? Curious because the last new Hitman I played was 2016 and it did.
Basically next gen consoles are junk! They can’t even run a cross-gen game at a solid 60fps at medium settings!
The only thing that makes me buy a console is the exlusive game. Otherwise, for me, PC is much fun than consoles. Thanks to emulation, MODS and best graphic quality.
aLex bent over really hard for his pc masters on this one
Unless you are running a potato, you really don't need optimised settings on PC. Unless you want to run over 4K for some reason.
I'm waiting to play this game till my ps5 arrives. But from what I've seen, ray tracing looks like a moot point. The reflections are gorgeous!!!
The Variable Rate Shading makes certain objects like rocks and statues look really blocky/ pixelated. You can see this easily right in the prologue of Hitman 1. It looks bad and doesn't give much performance.
0:19 what are these artifacts under his hands?.
Scary how console has sub low settings on some presets….
Ultra to low increases performance by 4%. It's really weird why they didn't make the shadows quality better on ps5.
Ps5 wins again!!!! Sony destroying microcock in another generation!
Have they done PS4/ pro yet?
as a PC analysis this is a very bad video
Alex, wie immer ein gutes Video. Was ich gerne noch gesehen hätte wie sich Leistung im Blumenfeld aus dem Mendoza Level verhält.
What about super sampling?
Never enjoyed these games. But what I do enjoy is digital foundry
Why no vrs on consoles when the hardware supports it?
Hitman 3 is already in my Top 10 games of all time
Looking forward to their 007 game it will definatly go up against the new perfect dark game
Fascinating. So we are basically looking at a RTX2070 for both the PS5 and Series X.
Remember this is a cross gen game not taking full advantage of ps5 nor has any developer taken full advantage of ps5 a couple months from now we will start to see the true potential and a year from now even more.
You should go over the cool feature of how IOI’s servers are overloaded and if you can’t connect thus forced to go offline it kicks you out of the game. Happened to me once on PS5 which I was playing because it did it twice on PC.
tl;dr save your game A LOT. Lousy live service bs going on
I wanted to see how PC:s react to the flower garden part. Series x has trouble with it so it would have been a better benchmark (even tho gameplay is hard to match)
They lied just to give xbox the win, which is sad. Just watched kingthashes video and it's true they lied xbox is paying them to give them good review. Sad very sad digital foundry
