- Hitman: The murder world seems to have an unofficial “performance mode” on the Nintendo Switch 2
- After changing the game’s resolution from 4K to 720p, the game’s performance is significantly increasing in some places
- Digital Foundry conducted a study and found that Whittleton Creek offered the biggest difference
Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hitman: The murder world Appears to have an unofficial “performance mode” hidden behind its settings.
It is according to Digital Foundry’s Richard Leadbetter (via Eurogamer) who received an E email that claimed the game can run at a higher image speed after changing the resolution settings from 4K to 720p.
“Hitman: The murder world On Switch 2, about 30-45 FPS runs about 90 percent of the time, “The email from Harry Mingham sounds.” Of curiosity, I went into the system settings and changed the TV Output Res from 4K to 720p, went back to the game and found it tremendously improved performance. Hawkes Bay Mission ran on … A very solid and stable frame speed. “
Leadbets then conducted a study and caught scenes from Paris, Mumbai, Berlin and Whittonon Creek at 720p, 1080p and 4K resolution.
He found that Whittleton Creek offered the largest frame difference that hit 59.93FPS at 720p, 46.88 fps at 1080p, and only 40.45fps at 4K showing a 62.5 percent increase in performance when the game is set to the lowest resolution.
Leadbets explained that this is happening simply because setting the game to 720p “seems to produce a straight 720p image, allowing for a much higher frame speed”.
Look at
It looks like the game is reproduced in a slightly higher resolution at 1080p, with pixel counts suggesting 1152p to 1188p, but when Switch 2 is set to 4K, performance drops fall, but the pixel count remains the same.
Meanwhile, Berlin at 720p output is 61 percent faster than 4K, while 1080p is seven points free of 4K.
“This is a slightly more demanding scene than Whittleton Creek with 720p an average of 55.1FPS, 1080p at 36.7 fps and 4K at 34.26 fps,” Leadbetter said.
It was found that scenes filled with NPCs reduce performance. There are large holes in image rates between the solution in certain areas of Paris, for example, but when Agent 47 enters several stuffed areas, the gorge closes significantly.
At 720p, the game can hit 42FPS, 1080p can reach 39 FPS, but 4K fights at 35 fps.
“720p should be higher, but the bottleneck changes from a GPU limitation to the CPU instead. Image speeds close to Mumbai for similar reasons,” Leadbetter explained.
While players can reduce their resolution to 720p in favor of higher performance, Digital Foundry says the problem is that the “very noticeable” lower resolution will not do Hitman: The murder world look good.
Here, IO Interactive hopes will consider adding an official performance mode in the future.
