Gaming PC build Radeon RX 580 8GB, Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB performance review

The performance of these hardware components is best displayed in relation to the current most popular game, Hitman 3.

Change graphics settings up to High for 50 FPS and then Ultra gets 36 FPS.

3rd most popular game: Assassins Creed: Valhalla - In summary, while some might be tempted to play Assassins Creed: Valhalla in 1440p resolution with the Radeon RX 580 8GB, we feel it is best placed at running at 1080p, where you could get the following frame rates - Low setting: 75 FPS, Medium setting: 64 FPS, High setting: 56 FPS, Ultra setting: 38 FPS.
