Best Hitman World of Assassination settings for the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (2026)

On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Hitman World of Assassination runs at roughly 71 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 72FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Hitman World of Assassination is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 71 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 71 FPS at 1080p and 66 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 49 FPS at 4K. Hitman World of Assassination offers ray tracing, but the AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.

💡 Hitman World of Assassination: Glacier engine - the big crowd levels (Miami, Mumbai) are CPU-bound; lower Simulation Quality first.
Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSROff
World of Assassination supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. The biggest free FPS boost — enable it first.
Ray Tracing (Reflections / AO)Offsaves FPS
Ray-traced reflections and shadows — heavy, especially in the big crowd levels. Turn it off first.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
Reflection / SSLR QualityHighbaseline
Standard screen-space reflections. Medium/High is plenty without RT.
Simulation / Crowd QualityMediumbaseline
How many NPCs the crowd levels (Miami, Mumbai) simulate — a heavy CPU cost. Medium helps the worst dips a lot.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution and range. High is a strong step down from Ultra.
