Hitman 3 system requirements

Can I run Hitman 3?

Hitman 3 system requirements shouldn’t assassinate your gaming PC, but you should check your rig to ensure Agent 47’s mission isn’t compromised. For starters, you’ll need something comparable to an Intel 15-2500K just to run the game, while i7-4790 will provide a smoother experience. In terms of GPU, the game demands something on par with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660, but a newer GTX 1070 is recommended.

You’re going to need at least 8GB RAM to run Hitman 3, but 16GB should ensure optimum performance. Lastly, you’re going to want to free up 80GB of space on your gaming SSD or hard drive, which could prove troublesome if you’re planning on playing the entire Hitman Trilogy.

Hitman 3 Steam

Hitman 3 is finally available on Steam, meaning you can now purchase the game via Valve's storefront. The game is still available through the Epic Game Store following its previous exclusivity, and the entire Hitman Trilogy will be available on Game Pass PC to those with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

Hitman 3 will be one of the first games to support Intel's XeSS upscaling, and it’s also compatible with Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR. This means you should be able to boost fps on Intel’s Alchemist GPUs, as well as Nvidia’s RTX series, and AMD Radeon cards.

If you’re rocking a slightly older graphics card, or your daily driver is a cheap gaming PC, you might still be able to enhance Hitman 3 performance. First off, you’ll want to use the Hitman 3 presets as a guide, as this will help you determine your rig’s capabilities. Once you’ve got a baseline to work with, you can manually adjust shadows, lighting, and textures to increase the frame rate. Running the game at a lower resolution is also an option, but we’d only advise doing this as a last resort.
