Hitman
The final game in our 2016 benchmark suite is the 2016 edition of Hitman, the latest title in the stealth-action franchise. The game offers two rendering paths: DirectX 11 and DirectX 12. While the DX12 path was added after the fact, in the intervening months both the game and driver developers have continued to optimize their software, and at this point the DX12 path is faster than the DX11 path for all current-generation video cards. As with past Hitman games, the latest proves to have a good mix of scenery and high model counts to stress modern video cards.

Ryan I think because you did the review and posted that makes you first post no matter what. Good review by the way thank you.theangryintern - Tuesday, April 18, 2017 - link
You do realize that this review has probably been done for at least a week, right? They were under NDA until this morning.Drumsticks - Tuesday, April 18, 2017 - link
That doesn't mean a review was guaranteed. Anandtech, while putting out phenomenal reviews, occasionally delivered them later than launch day.This one was great too, by the way, thanks!

Also, I should add that they've been way more timely lately, which is great.Samus - Tuesday, April 18, 2017 - link
It's amazing people will find any excuse to dismiss a launch day review...
