Hitman

Publisher: Square Enix

From our Hitman review:

'I enjoyed Hitman, and I think that the episodic nature is going to keep me coming back to the game again and again to pull and prod at the game's systems. If you're the type of person that wants to devour a game whole, you might want to wait till the disc based release coming next year. It's hard to put a score on what is, by its own admission, an unfinished game, and with that much still up in the air I'm not able to slap one of our recommended stickers at the bottom of the review - but this tiny slice is the finest Hitman title so far, and if they can keep the quality this high, I think a lot of people will enjoy it.'

We test Hitman using DirectX 12 and the highest available detail setting for each option, with anti-aliasing set to FXAA. The game has a built-in benchmark, which is what we use, recording performance over the first 90 seconds - essentially all of it.

OCUK are doing a good 'today only' deal on a custom Palit 1070..£360

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pali...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-03n-pl.html

That will be as cheap as they are likely to get in the current climate..


As for paying £325 for a 1060...HAHA!!! Asus, you really are a price gouging tw@ of a company, just do everyone a favour and pull out of the UK market, because you obviously do not take it very seriously with comedy mark ups like that.

way too expensive for anyone to even consider buying - 1070 pricing for 1060 performance no thanks

It does seem a bit stupid, it's a cracking 1060 but just too expensive, the 1070 is only very slightly more and waaay quicker. I've no idea why you buy this.

Moronic pricing.

Around 10% more money will get you 30% more performance.
