Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - PC graphics performance
The long awaited game with pretty nice graphics is BRUTAL on your GPU

This article is updated with DX12 performance results as of September 8th.

In this article we'll examine Deus Ex: Mankind Divided in our usual geeky fashion. We'll test the game on the PC platform relative towards graphics card performance with the latest AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Multiple graphics cards are being tested and bench-marked with the latest cards such as the GeForce GTX 10 series included as well as Radeon RX series 400 cards. With the newest graphics cards and technologies we'll try and see how well performance in DirectX 11 and now after the latest DX12 beta patch added DX12 results. The game was released on August 23, 2016 based on DirectX 11. DirectX 12 renderer was added via a patch, which will release in the week of 8th September.

We test with the game based on the release last week, all patched up combined with latest AMD Radeon Software Crimson drivers and for Nvidia drivers. This article will cover benchmarks in the sense of average framerates, we'll look at all popular resolutions scaling from Full HD (1920x1080/1200), WHQD (2560x1440) and of course that big-whopper of a resolution Ultra HD. UHDTV (2160p) is 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels tall (8.29 megapixels), which is four times as many pixels as 1920x1080 (2.07 megapixels).
