Radeon RX 480 for 1080p60 will be plenty for The Division 2
Ubisoft has released the system requirements for the PC version of The Division 2. The multiplayer shooter is currently being developed by Massive Entertainment and uses the in-house Snowdrop engine, which supports the Direct3D-12 graphics interface as in its predecessor.
The rendering engine should have been updated in many places offering improvements in global and volumetric lighting and the representation of leaves or dust, but also water and reflections.
At the minimum, (1080p and 30 fps at low details), The Division 2 needs a Geforce GTX 670 or Radeon R9 270 with 2 GB of video memory including a quad core like the Core i5-2500K or FX-6350; the RAM should be 8 GB. For 1080p with the medium preset and a more fluid 60 fps Ubisoft advises to a Geforce GTX 970 or Radeon RX 480 with a Core i7-4790 or Ryzen 5 1500X including 8 GB of RAM.
At 1440p with 60 fps and high details a Geforce GTX 1070 or a Radeon RX Vega 56; the new GeForce GTX 1660 Ti also falls into this performance class is adviced. CPU wise Massive Entertainment recommends a Core i7-6700K or a Ryzen 7 1700 plus 16 GB of RAM. In 4K with Ultra-Settings, the studio then speaks unsurprisingly of the Geforce RTX 2080 Ti and the Radeon VII, the fastest graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia (the Titan RTX runs out of line).
The PC version of The Division 2 supports SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) as well as HDR (High Dynamic Range), if a corresponding display or a suitable TV with the right graphics card are available. Resolution and frame rate as well as frequency are open at the shooter upwards, even multi-monitor setups or ultra-widescreen models work properly.

I'm glad they fixed DX12 crashes I had during closed/open beta. And it's noticeably faster than DX11.

I played (or tried to play) the open beta 10 days ago.
Most times I couldn't even get past the menu. The game would crash, and I did sent a few of the reports to the devs.
A few hours before the end of the open beta, I lowered the settings and was able to play very smoothly. I'm on a Ryzen 7 1700 with an MSI RX480 Gaming X, playing on a 2560x1080 ultrawide freesync monitor.
I've had problems while gaming before, so It's probably my system that caused the crashes.
I liked what I saw.

Not bad. Although I'm not too impressed with min / optimal / max specs, and that a 480 can drive 1080p medium settings with 60fps also is not surprising.
The 480's a good card, but what's the big deal? I don't get it tbh.
I'm more surprised they think that a 1660TI will be running this game at 1440p/60/high details.... for that to believe it, I would want to wait until I see benchmarks for this.

There is a big difference between the Radeon VII and the 2080Ti.
If they're advising Radeon VII surely they should be mentioning 1080Ti or 2080, not the 2080Ti...

Unfortunately not completely, the white screen bug is still there, the brightness goes randomly crazy

Look at VRam requirement, looks like 8GB is the limiting factor for 4K max with RTX 2080.

Good news is, the game is so slow paced, 30fps is plenty. That's about what I got with 570 on high details, before I uninstalled the junk.

I've got a spare one that I've been tweaking with, Polaris is very fun to tweak actually! Currently have it stable at 1400/2200.

Since multi-GPU support (formerly Crossfire/SLI) has been officially integrated into D3d12, as opposed to being supported only by 3d IHV custom add-on driver packages outside the API in D3d11 & earlier--why are so-called "enthusiast" gaming sites ignoring it these days? If anything, it should be getting more attention as opposed to less, now that it's no longer the red-headed stepchild it used to be. When blockbuster games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider support it--and even have back-supported d3d12 multi-GPU support to Rise of the Tomb Raider--why is Guru 3d completely ignoring it? I'm certainly asking because I am surprised how well Crossfire and multi-GPU support work these days--had no idea how easy it is until I tried it with my RX-590/480 8GB setup back in December. Also, the AMD drivers all carry the old custom Crossfire profiles in every driver release. Works really well @ 3840x2160, btw (which is what I was hoping for when I bought it.)
The D3d12 ShadowoftTomb Raider in-game benchmark, for instance, gets a ~95% scaling increase in framerates @ 3840x2160 over the RX-590 by itself, 95% of the eye-candy on (from a 33fps average 590 only to ~61fps 590/480 multi-GPU average--with peaks > 100 fps)--which I think is fantastic! It's an especially nice option for people who already own an RX-480 8GB and even a 580 8GB--I wouldn't recommend people go out and buy 2 590's at once, of course, but hundreds of thousands of people already own a 480/580 8GB, purchased a year or more ago, and for them the RX-590/4-580 8GB Multi-GPU option is a no brainer--if performance and value for the dollar motivates them. I'm very happy with the setup, atm. It's so easy to do, for instance, because now you can turn off Crossfire support directly in an individual game profile--or turn it on--no more rebooting and so on, and the requirement for matching MHz frequencies is a thing of the past (RX-590 @ 1.6GHz, RX-480 @ 1.305GHz), I was also glad to see! It's as near transparent as it can be--certainly an order of magnitude better than it was when I last tried Crossfire many years ago with twin 4850's!
It would really be nice to see this information posted about new D3d12 game releases--I'm expecting to get the Div 2 any day now as the last game due me for the RX-590 purchase (Already have DMC5 and RE 2). Be nice to know if Div 2 was a multi-GPU title like Tomb-Raider, though! Someone has already said that frame-rate wasn't important in this game--which is fine--but I just like knowing these things, ya' know? It's just good information to have.

LOL @ Win 7 only for 1080p60, when Metro Exodus said Win 7 only for 1080p60 too, with low settings, when it runs exactly the same in 12 as it does in 11, and im running it @ 3440x1440 at Ultra on Win 7, and getting around 50/70fps :p
EDIT:
If you go to the actual game site to look at the specs, you get Win 7 n Dx11 for all.

do you have surface optimization ON in radeon settings Rich? Or did you put it to off to get rid of FP12 shaders and get back to FP16 as it is default (FP16 also default for nV cards)?
