- Hitman: World of murder It seems to have an unofficial “mode of performance” in Nintendo Switch 2
- After changing the resolution of the 4K to 720p game, the game performance increases significantly in some places
- Digital Foundry conducted an investigation and discovered that Whittleton Creek offered the biggest rate of frame rate, reaching 59.93 FPS at 720p
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hitman: World of murder It seems to have an unofficial “mode of performance” hidden behind its configuration.
That is according to Richard Leadbetter of Digital Foundry (through Eurogamer), who received an email claiming that the game can be executed at a higher frame rate after changing the resolution configuration of 4K to 720p.
“Hitman: World of murder On Switch 2 runs around 30-45 fps around 90 percent of the time, “Harry Mingham’s email says.” Out of curiosity, I entered the system settings and changed the 4K to 720p TV output, I returned to the game and discovered that the performance greatly improves. Hawkes Bay’s mission ran in … a very solid and stable picture rate. “
Leadbetter conducted an investigation and captured scenes from Paris, Mumbai, Berlin and Whittleton Creek at 720p, 1080p and 4K resolution.
He discovered that Whittleton Creek offered the biggest picture rate difference, reaching 59.93 FPS at 720p, 46.88 FPS at 1080p and only 40.45 FPS to 4K, showing an increase of 62.5 percent in performance when the game is established with the lowest resolution.
Leadbetter explained that this is happening simply because establishing the game in 720p “seems to be producing a straight image of 720p, allowing a much higher picture rate.”

Attend
It seems that the game occurs at a slightly higher resolution than 1080p, with pixels counts that suggest 1152p to 1188p, but when the switch 2 is configured in 4K, the performance falls, but the pixels count remains the same.
Meanwhile, Berlin’s exit with 720p is 61 percent faster than 4K, while 1080p is per seven points of 4K.
“This is a slightly more demanding scene than Whittleton Creek with 720p averaging 55.1 fps, 1080p at 36.7 FPS and 4K to 34.26 fps,” said Leadbetter.
It was discovered that NPC -filled scenes reduce performance. There are wide gaps in the table speeds between the resolution in certain areas of Paris, for example, but when agent 47 enters more crowded areas, the gap closes significantly.
At 720p, the game can reach 42 fps, 1080p can reach 39 fps, but 4K fights 35 fps.
“720p should be higher, but the bottleneck changes from a GPU limitation to the CPU. In its place.
While players can reduce their resolution to 720p in favor of greater performance, Digital Foundry says that the problem is that the “very remarkable” resolution will not do Hitman: World of murder look good.
We hope that Io Interactive considers adding an official performance mode in the future.
