Best Hitman World of Assassination settings for the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Hitman World of Assassination runs at roughly 66 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 37FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 3GB 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 66 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 37 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 66 FPS at 1080p and 45 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 25 FPS at 4K. Hitman World of Assassination offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 1060 (3GB) 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.
