I downloaded the game for the free weekend trial. Can not enable DX12. Does not allow me too, and there is no benchmark 0.0. The game looks fantastic! Absolutely hammers my 290x. Its pretty fun so far.

I think someone said to run in windowed/borderless in order dx12 to work (or otherwise) check it out.

Interesting. The best thing about The Division for me is the atmosphere. New York at Xmas, day/night cycle, skyscrapers and snow, Xmas decks, just love it. Pretty f*cked up too in places, if you pay attention to the story.

I've played it now for good 2-3hrs and its still there, but originally it was at least 2x more "intense". Now its as if it has more compression and toned down lighting a bit - softer and lighter.. Its still ok though, but not perfect like it was originally.

Nothing more to add to that. Only this, I might buy it now if I can go to Manhattan, atm I can't, someone said I need to buy to go there? if its in separate dlc then I'll skip.

Alright Ill try that after Ash vs Evil dead is over. I was running fullscreen for freesync cause I cant use 16.12.1 sadly. Bordless freesync is effin amazing on that driver. Still cant enable DX12. Very odd. Says Windows 10 is required and so is a restart. Im on Win 10X64 all up to date. Benchmark showed up. Cant believe my 290x is pulling 50 fps on all high/ultra settings @ 3440x1440.

basically they sell games off hyped up trailers on youtube and paying youtubers but people getting wise to it coz there getting burned and are now more careful about pre orders , watchdogs one sold well coz they hype it up with glossy trailers , but on release it look liked trash console game , divison a flop they hyped it up with trailer , they probably sold most copies on console and if no one had complain about pc version they sold you tons of dlc and microtransactions

Look... if you are going to do nothing except complain about Ubisoft. Please stop posting and make your own thread. We are discussing only Division here. And in reference to you saying I think all ports from Ubisoft are good. I never said that. I said "this" port is good. I don't care about WD2 or any other game they made. I play Division, so that is what I am interested in reading about, and seeing what others have to say about The Division with the latest DX12. regarding SLI not working in DX12, personally I think that SLI never worked in the division in the first place. Did anyone else get very little performance gain or was it just me? I think I saw 10/15 fps gain at most.

The Divison 4k benchmark I always play games @ 4k resolution, this time with the DX12 patch I tried running the benchmark of The Division. I came out at an average of 35 frames/sec. Despite everyone says a game is unable to play normally with this low fps, it still is. It's a long time ago I saw this E3 trailer, but imo there isn't such a big difference between the graphics in benchmark mode and the actual in-game graphics when you compare it to the original trailer. At least when you run the game in the 4k resolution. I also played it at my Xbox One and there is no doubt about it, it looked like running at an system that I build 4 years ago. When I've a screenshot of the settings and benchmark result's I'll post it here. 🙂

Idk, thats strange. Make sure you have latest W10 build. Also, 290X is still a beast and its ahead of 980 in this game. 480 is also ahead of 1060. Im sure if dx12 was working you would getting even higher results.

Turns out that HBAO+ doesn't work under DX12. So my gains are invalid as they had HBAO+. It uses some random method instead, but still shows HBAO+ in options. I'm gonna run my tests again.

So I did new runs on my system with AO on Ultra instead of HBAO+. DX11: [spoiler]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag458/Dygaza/Division%20DX11-%20AO%20Ultra_zps0nhgzher.png[/spoiler] DX12 [spoiler]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag458/Dygaza/Division%20DX12-%20AO%20Ultra_zpsbulgw87k.png[/spoiler] Still getting nice boost.

So apparently PCSS shadows don't work either on DX12. So even more new runs: DX11 [spoiler]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag458/Dygaza/Division%20DX11%20-%20AO%20Ultra-%20Shadows%20High_zpswdimwcys.png[/spoiler] DX12 [spoiler]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag458/Dygaza/Division%20DX12%20-%20AO%20Ultra-%20Shadows%20High_zpsbsnfgfnc.png[/spoiler] So final verdict on benchmark is +6fps.

Sure thing. I would be happy if HH did a DX12 update benchmark but hes a busy man so im not asking for it. Still, his last benchmark is 4 months old. Things change.

Feel free to supply a recent bench including the cards you mentioned from a reputable site.

I have no clue how amd is doing right now compared to nvidia on division but it wont hurt you (or HH) looking other reviews out of guru3d if they are more recent :P His review was accurate and well done at that time but game had many patches and many drivers has come out since then. Im sure HH will understand. Hes a cool man after all.

Posting a more recent test has nothing to do with respect, be serious.

feel free to post one, from a respectable site, if you find one. I quickly googled the division performance test and all the results were from March.
