The graphics card: frame rates in HITMAN™ 2 rise with GPU speed.
Graphics card (GPU)
Main limit
60 FPS at 1080p needs about a GTX 1660 Super or RX 6600; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 40 FPS.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
HITMAN™ 2 recommends a Core i7-4790 or equivalent; a Ryzen 5 3600 or anything faster clears that. We have no measured processor limit for HITMAN™ 2, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
8 GB (rec. spec)
The recommended spec lists 8 GB of video memory. On a card with less, lower texture quality first: running out of video memory shows up as stutter or blurry textures, not as a lower average.
Settings to lower first in HITMAN™ 2
- 1Resolution or render scale, or upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS) where HITMAN™ 2 offers it. Rendering fewer pixels is the biggest single saving.
- 2Then shadows, volumetric effects (fog, clouds, lighting) and ambient occlusion: in most games these cost the most frame rate for the least visible difference.
- 3Texture quality only if your card has less than 8 GB of video memory. With enough memory, textures cost little frame rate, so keep them high.
