Concluding

Over the course of today, we'll be adding some more results as well as we'll be looking at CPU scaling. The Division 2 is an AAA game, you really need to like the genre though and it is definitely not the game type of this editor. That's, however, is not important though. The quality in-game seem pretty okay and are more polished on the PC compared to the previous edition. It is obvious that any graphics card will run if you give it the right image quality settings. The trick with PC gaming, however, is that image quality is something you want and prefer, as otherwise, you'd be playing on a console. It's a fairly good looking game at high-quality and ultra settings. With a reasonably modern graphics card, ultra quality settings at up-to 2560x1440 really should not be an issue and the Full HD domain is easy enough for any modern card to ooze out decent framerates. Overall my suggestion and recommendation would be to use the ultra setting as there is no real reason to drop below it from a framerate point of view. Should it be needed, you gain roughly 25% from dropping Ultra towards High-quality mode, and that will make Ultra HD a viable option for many graphics cards as well.

Memory wise anything starting at 4GB is the minimum all saying domain. Aside from a random occasional stutter and some FPS drops in fights, overall the title will be very playable and enjoyable to watch. Ultra HD does look nice, but for that, you'll need a Vega 64 or, RTX  2070, Geforce GTX 1080 Ti or better to achieve proper framerates at the highest quality settings. A note on AMD cards, they do really well with the game. This is an AMD sponsored title so there are of course optimizations in play. The new Radeon VII managed to impress me sitting in the top 3 in Ultra HD. It works well as the Vega's definitely shown they can keep up with the competition.  

Things really start to look better at the high-quality mode, and sure either 2560x1440 resolution wise or something above that up-to Ultra HD, serves this game the best. Up-to 2560x1440 the game remains very playable. At 1920x1080 the vast majority of the game plays with proper framerates though combined with any modern age graphics card. Overall the game feels good in game-play, there is little negative to mention aside from the fact you'll need to like the genre.

Have a lovely weekend.
