Asus RX 470 Strix Gaming OC Aura RGB 4GB review

Hitman (2016) is a third-person stealth video game in which players take control of Agent 47, a genetically enhanced, superhuman assassin, travelling to international locations and eliminating contracted targets. As in other games in the Hitman series, players are given a large amount of room for creativity in approaching their assassinations. The game is being released in stages, which hasn't proved too popular with a large audience.

We test with many of the settings maximised, SSAO is disabled however as I found it causes some crashing. I have to say that Hitman is a little unstable at times under the best of situations, but we managed to get it running well enough to benchmark. The built in benchmark is very flaky indeed however, so real world runs had to be used.

At 1440p we would still consider this playable, but only. Those gamers who demand a solid 60fps will need to look elsewhere – well unless you also don't mind running with reduced image quality settings. Still we can see the Asus RX 470 Strix Gaming OC holds its own against the GTX 970. The RX470 is around 10-14 frames slower than the RX 480 however – its very noticeable with this engine.
