Best Hitman World of Assassination settings for the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) (2026)

On a Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Hitman World of Assassination runs at roughly 7 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 3FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Hitman World of Assassination is a moderately demanding game. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 7 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 7 FPS at 1080p and 4 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 2 FPS at 4K. Hitman World of Assassination offers ray tracing, but the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge iGPU) isn't built for it, so we leave it off. The biggest free win is XeSS 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.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable XeSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
