Best Hitman World of Assassination settings for the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Hitman World of Assassination runs at roughly 61 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 38FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB 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 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 38 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 46 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 26 FPS at 4K. Hitman World of Assassination offers ray tracing, but the NVIDIA GTX 960 (4GB) 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.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.
Recommended settings

Standard screen-space reflections. Medium/High is plenty without RT.
Texture QualityUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness — nearly free if it fits your VRAM.
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.
