Tom Clancy The Division - DX12 patch (benchmarks updated)

Ubisoft has announced a free weekend for Tom Clancy’s The Division. In addition, the French company has just released a new update for the PC version that adds official DX12 support to it.

According to Ubisoft, from December 15 at 10AM PST to December 18 at 1PM PST, The Division will be free on Uplay PC, allowing you to play through the entirety of the core game, along with all of its free content updates. Naturally, all progress you make during this free period will transfer over if you purchase the full game.

Tom Clancy's The Division – Update December 14th Changelog:

- Fixed some instances with the Xbox controller not working on PC
- Addressed some rare cases with the Fullscreen mode not working
- Some improvements to the audio positioning have been made
- Improvements to high CPU usage cases on PC
- Players losing control of their characters for a brief moment

Updated, I added some benchmark results from GameGPU and Computerbase. Once I have the time I'll see if we can de some internal test runs as well. Right now it is very busy though.

1080p scales OK 4% up-to 8%, 1440p however seems more GPU limited of course. It seems that the perf increases in that resolution fall within 1 or 2 FPS, which can be considered NIL and even random. Overall I'd say the DX12 patch as such seems dissapointing relative in performance.

Install size or lengthwise?

IIRC about 40 GB and so far personally put 185 hrs into it which is a record for me and still going.

The actual campaign/story can be finished in about 20-30 hours I think if you ignore most side ops.
Though it's the end game which I've found most addictive (most of my playtime is from that).

Division has no fps locks or whatever on PC, has a bunch of tweaking options and runs just fine on suitable hardware.

Stable too, apart from some server connection lost issues.

I'd suggest you get some knowledge on a topic before you start talking about it.

I'd say it's probably the second best looking game out, BF1 being the first. I get that ubisoft "downgraded" it, but graphically it's still excellent, runs really well too - has since launch. My only problem with the game was the end-game content.. there was nothing to do when you hit max rank. From what I read the most recent patches/expansion remedied that.

Try it out for yourself on the free weekend and tell us if it's downgraded.

Only this PC port is actually good and nobody has paid them extra to implement a DX12 port that they didn't have to do in the first place. The game doesn't look like its E3 trailer, and you have a point there, but it's definitely not a bad port and not even a bad game.

I tried the DX12 port for a second after a long time of not playing the game, it seems faster to me, but I could be wrong. A test from Hilbert would be nice.

^ it is faster for a lot of people it seems, me included, on both NV and AMD hardware.

People already reported on PTS they got better performance from DX12 (was part of 1.5 patch testing).

Graphically I think it looks great. People complaining about 30fps lock, bad port etc clearly haven't tried it, and simply follow the herd who hate on ubisoft.

Haven't tried the DX12 patch but the latest survival content has me hooked again. My only gripe is that they could still have improved SLI support which doesn't exist to me.
