Looks like everyone is going to be happy with this one. Feral Interactive have announced the system requirements for HITMAN [Steam] ahead of the release next week. AMD & NVIDIA are supported.
Minimum
Intel Core i5-2500K/AMD FX-8350
Ubuntu 16.04 or Steam OS 2.0
8GB RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 680/AMD R9 270X graphics card or better.*
Recommended
Intel Core i7 3770
Ubuntu 16.10 or Steam OS 2.0
16GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 970/AMD R9 290 graphics card or better.*
*NVIDIA graphics cards require driver version 375.28. AMD graphics cards require MESA 13.0.3 or better. Intel graphics cards will not be supported on release.
HITMAN will be released for Linux on February 16th, so not long to go. Are you as excited as I am?
I am hoping to do a livestream on the day of release, as usual. Keep an eye on our Twitch page: http://www.twitch.tv/gamingonlinux Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: Xpanderpatiently waiting for ryzen also :)
The thing that is worrying about Ryzen is that in comparisons (at this point leaked, so not definitive), 8 core Ryzen CPUs are paired as competitive to 4 core Intel CPUs. If this turns out to be true, then that doesn't bode well for Ryzen single core performance. This may throw a big wrench into the gaming side of things until such a time where everything is properly designed around Vulkan/multi-core.

if the price is correct i take more cores every time over less cores :) specially considering vulkan that will take care of those and my pc is not only for gaming also :)
on their presentation though they compared against 8 core 16 thread intel afaik and it was close.. it was skylake though but kaby lake is zero IPC gain anyway, just higher clocks.
it thik why they compare against 4 core intel is because the pricerange will be same

I only just today realized that this "complete season" release is really quite new! Reviews are popping up in my news stream as we speak. So it's fantastic that we're in the loop on this one, instead of a port of an older Hitman.
So I'm even more excited now :) Go Feral!

Quoting: doomed_firemanFX-8350 minimum? Oh dear.
Crossing my fingers that Ryzen lives up to the hype. It's really sad to see that AMD CPUs are no longer "good enough" for gaming.
I think they listed similar minimums on some of their other games. I have an FX 8350 and haven't had issues with Mad Max, Tomb Raider or Deus Ex MD. I do have a GTX 980 so maybe that makes up for the cpu a little? IDK

really? Deus Ex MD runs good? i have places where fps drops down to 25, which is unacceptable.. no matter how low u put my settings.. and i have GTX 1070. Same with Mad Max, rare places, some camps where looking at some specific angles fps tanks to 19-25fps, while other than that its mostly 70+ FPS

Have a look at this:

QuoteRecently on Phoronix we've tested the re-clocking and boost support in Nouveau with the Linux 4.10 kernel and separately landing in Mesa 17.0 Git was the big Maxwell performance boost for Nouveau Gallium3D. That Gallium3D driver work improves the Maxwell open-source performance by "1.5x to 3.5x" via instruction pipelining improvements. With those latest improvements in the kernel and Mesa, how does Nouveau now compare to NVIDIA's binary Linux driver?
Maybe the next Kernel 4.10 brings with it the solution for your NVidia-performance problems. :)

i just ran my CPU with GTX 1070 against the recent phoronix tests with celeron, pentium, i3 to i7 and i have to say :D AMD is pretty bad, beating celeron by small margin and thats 4.5ghz while celeron is 2.9ghz, singlthreaded games i guess :)

Bioshock Infinite and Portal test did not run somehow.

We've had multi core CPUs available for about a decade now and for many applications the single core performance is still the deciding factor. I'm not too optimistic about seeing this change completely in the next year. Which probably means that my next build will still be decided on by single core performance.

In Mad Max in certain places the FPS would drop below what I would like them to, but it wasn't all that bothersome. Didn't have those issues at all Tomb Raider, and haven't seen them in Deus Ex. I Finished Mad Max and Tomb Raider all the way through. Still working on Deus Ex. I play everything at 1920x1080 with settings cranked up a little, not maxed out but higher than normal. I have a GSync Monitor with GSync enabled, don't know how much of a difference that makes. I also have a water cooler as the 8350 ran pretty noisy and hot without it, now it is cool and quiet.
