Hitman 3 is a 2021 stealth game developed and published by IO Interactive. Hitman 3 was released worldwide for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia, and Nintendo Switch (via cloud gaming) on 20 January 2021. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Glacier engine. We test using Ultra settings, RT Reflections, RT Shadows, DXR API. DLSS/FSR are disabled.

Hitman 3 is relatively OK on the 7800 XT, too. It is highly demanding, but that applies to all GPUs – at 1080p the RX 7800 XT is just 13% slower than the RTX 4070, but again it shows huge gains over the 6800 XT, to the tune of 21%.

1440p is out of the question however, at least without some form of aggressive upscaling.
