Page 5: RX 470 Hitman And Ashes Of The Singularity DX12 Performance

The latest Hitman title for 2016 once again follows Agent 47, a genetically-enhanced, cold-blooded assassin, who finds himself at the center of new missions scatted about Central Europe, but not before some drama in an ICA training facility some 20 years before the events of 2012's Hitman: Absolution. We tested the game using its DirectX 12 code path, at multiple resolutions, with all in-game options set to their maximum / Ultra values, with FXAA and 16x anisotropic filtering enabled...

DirectX 12 Gaming Performance

Hitman (2016)

The Radeon RX 470 performed relatively well in the Hitman DX12 benchmark. In this game, the RX 470 was able to overtake the GeForce GTX 970 across the board and finished just behind the much more expensive GeForce GTX 1060.

Ashes Of The Singularity

DirectX 12 Performance

Oxide's Ashes Of The Singularity offers planetary warfare on a massive scale. The game also includes one of the first DirectX 12 benchmarks. And it's not synthetic like 3DMark’s API overhead feature test, but rather a real-world representation of in-game performance using a variety of workloads. We ran the Ashes benchmark at multiple resolutions with its "crazy" graphics preset and 4X anti-aliasing enabled to put as heavy a workload as possible on the GPUs.

Ashes Of The Singularity

Ashes tells almost the same story as Hitman. In this DirectX 12 test, the RX 470 annihilates the GeForce GTX 960 and GTX 950, and hangs tight with the GeForce GTX 970.
