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.
Radeon RX 480 for 1080p60 will be plenty for The Division 2
