Thief

Thief is a series of stealth video games in which the player takes the role of Garrett, a master thief in a fantasy/steampunk world resembling a cross between the Late Middle Ages and the Victorian era, with more advanced technologies interspersed. The series consists of Thief: The Dark Project (1998), Thief II: The Metal Age (2000), Thief: Deadly Shadows (2004) and Thief (2014). The main tactic of Thief is to avoid fights and instead sneak around the enemies. Thief is sometimes described as either a “first-person sneaker”, “sneak-em-up” or a “first-person looter” to emphasize this difference. Wikipedia

1080p wasn’t too challenging for the 960 putting out a respectable 50FPS average when settings are maxed:Usage looks very nice and clean:

Percentiles are nice and flat at the upper end – just how we like:Of course with 50FPS at 1080p we can’t expect much at 4k:
