Hitman World of Assassination recommends a GTX 1070 or RX Vega 56, so most current mid-range cards clear that tier. Every pick is a Radeon RX or Intel Arc card that cost between $250 and $520.
Hitman World of Assassination's official PC requirements list NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and 16GB of RAM for the recommended tier (source: Steam store page). The Arc B570 Challenger, the ASRock RX 9060 XT Challenger 8GB, the XFX 7600 SWFT210, the ASUS Dual 7600 EVO and the Gigabyte RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 8GB can't be matched directly against that list.
This is a research roundup, not a lab test: GPU, VRAM and memory come from each maker's published specs; a missing boost clock is flagged, not filled in, and no figure here comes from our own testing.

The Arc B570 is the B580's cheaper sibling with 10GB of memory on a 160-bit bus.
Best for
- Buyers who put video memory first.
Skip if
- Look at the other picks if you need a feature not covered above.
Why we like it
It was the least expensive card here at the time of writing and still offers three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Its dual striped axial fans stop completely at low load, and the card supports Intel XeSS 2 upscaling. Its 10GB video memory is the largest here; the ASRock RX 9060 XT Challenger 8GB comes next at 8GB.
No other pick in this guide offers an arc B570 gpu; compare the ASUS Dual 7600 EVO, which has an RX 7600 gpu. You get a 2600MHz boost clock here, which sets it apart from the XFX 7600 SWFT210 and its a 2655MHz boost clock. No dimensions are published for the Arc B570 Challenger; get length and thickness from the maker's page first.
Power for the Arc B570 Challenger comes through 1 x 8-pin. It undercut the ASRock RX 9060 XT Challenger 8GB and every other pick on price at the time of writing.
