eGPU Scaling Benchmark w/ Cooler Master EG200

Hitman 3 (stylized as HITMAN III) is a stealth game developed and published by IO Interactive for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia (under the title Hitman: World of Assassination), and Nintendo Switch on 20 January 2021. It is the eighth main installment in the Hitman series and the final entry in the World of Assassination trilogy, following Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2 (2018). (Wikipedia).

Engine: Glacier. We test using Ultra settings (or High where Ultra is not available), VRS off, DX12 API.

Hitman 3 proved challenging, as we were unable to successfully run the game without using an external monitor – strange artificating appeared on the screen for about ten seconds, before we crashed to desktop. That means we can only assess performance when using an external monitor, so we don't have our usual comparison of using the integrated laptop display versus the external screen.

Still, at 1080p, we're again running into more bottlenecking, as the RTX 3090 is barely 4% faster than the RTX 3080. At the other end of the table, the RTX 3070 is only delivering 7% more performance than the RTX 3060 Ti.

As we increase the resolution however, we become more GPU bound and the RTX 3090 manages to edge further ahead. At 1440p, it proves 9% faster than the RTX 3080, while that lead increases to 12% at 4K. Likewise, at 4K, the RTX 3080 is also 22% faster than the RTX 3070.
