Tom Clancy's The Division PC Performance Review

[WYP]

The Division has just been launched, but what kind of performance do we get on PC?

Im benching some results right now. I clearly see an issue with Gsync at the moment. Ill post some results when im done.

Look at the FPS loss with Gsync turned on with SLI. I thought SLI was fine until i started benching some results. I just kept it simple and consistent. Results are an average of 3 runs per variation. And this is with the new Nvidia drivers intended for The Division.

Using a ROG Swift Monitor with refresh set at 120hz via Nvidia panel. Interesting was that when using windowed mode in game, it automatically locked refresh to 60hz as opposed to the 120hz set by default.

Do you have actual 4k images uploaded anywhere I can view comparing the graphics settings? Either I'm missing something embarrassingly obvious or the images are far too small to actually compare.

For whatever reason the 4K image links broke, but it it is fixed now.

1440p benchmark?

Noticed the 1440p benches are from beta, as noted in the screenshot title. Do you have updated benches for live? I have a 5930k (overclocked to 4.4) and a 980ti (also slightly overclocked) - with those settings I barely make mid 50s to 60 in-game. Especially with the NVAO+ stuff on. I don't see how you get 100 avg fps.

Interesting numbers. Since windowed was locked at 60 and I have a 144 monitor, I avoided it. Looks like windowed with g-sync on or off is the way to go? Is there much tearing since the monitor is locked at 60?

I actually saw very little screentearing to be honest, which was suprising considering its on Ultra. I didn't bench complete max settings.

You're playing on the lowest settings? At 1440p, the benchmark from OC3D shows 53FPS on Ultra with a 980ti. Is that what you are playing on?

Those are interesting numbers. I have a 980ti also and a 5930k - on Ultra I'm no where near 90fps except in the benchmark tool. In-game it's closer to 60. Blah.

Sorry, didn't realize it was the benchmarking tool. That unfortunately isn't accurate when compared to actual in-game performance. I also get about 91fps via the benchmarking tool, then closer to 60-70 in-game while running around and questing.
