More Punishing Than We Anticipated

Deus Ex: Flesh Divided doesn't chew upwards every last flake of system resources like Fallout four, but it'south fell on the GPU. Every bit a result, many gamers are upwards in arms about the performance they are seeing on their systems. While I have to admit the performance is more demanding than expected, the game'south detailed lighting, shadows and textures are also visually impressive.

Those targeting a minimum of 30fps and willing to employ the Medium quality settings can get past with relatively inexpensive hardware, such as the new Radeon RX 460.

This is the first game we've seen where a pair of GTX 1080 graphics cards won't suffice when playing maxed out. Does this make Deus Ex the new Crysis?

Older cards such as the Hard disk 7970 GHz Edition and GTX 780 work well as well. Again, the functioning isn't quite what yous might expect given the quality settings and 1080p resolution, only this is what gamers are faced with.

The Very High quality settings, which in my opinion are just as practiced equally Ultra, require a lot more GPU grunt. Still, AMD's RX 480 provided decent performance at 1080p equally did the GTX 1060, though they struggled at 1440p. Gamers running high-end GPUs tin get away with Very High at 1440p without much problem and the R9 Nano was particularly impressive hither.

But is gameplay whatever skilful? Read the Deus Ex review hither.

Bang for your buck, the all-time value option for playing Mankind Divided goes to the Radeon RX 480. Although I didn't show the results, I did effort the RX 480 flashed to the 4GB BIOS and performance was identical to the 8GB model, fifty-fifty when using the Ultra quality preset. This is the get-go game nosotros've seen where a pair of GTX 1080 graphics cards won't suffice when playing maxed out. Does this make Deus Ex the new Crysis?

When it comes to CPU performance, the game isn't specially enervating. Any relatively modern Cadre i5 or Core i7 processor will churn through this game similar butter. College clocked AMD FX processors aren't bad either, though the Athlon X4 860K did struggle alongside the Intel dual-cadre processors. That said, Intel'southward Core i3 processors were impressive to match the FX-9590.

Those running an AMD chip will ideally want to overclock it, while those using an unlocked Intel role have goose egg to proceeds by overclocking.

Before we wrap things up, I wanted to mention that crashing wasn't an issue for united states on any of the systems tested. A lot of gamers are lament most crashes that have been addressed on a patch already, luckily this didn't keep us from testing in spite of the massive number of configurations tested.

Overall, Mankind Divided is more punishing than we predictable in the graphics department just non unreasonably so for the visuals on brandish. I have no doubt that future updates will improve things over time, with particular accent on what the upcoming DirectX 12 patch might bring to the table.
