Deus Ex mankind divided really needs no introduction presumably if you hear seeking the benchmark results then I don't need to blab about the game or its history so I won't instead let's get down to business as quick as possible this will be my most comprehensive benchmark video of a new released title yet really I'm hoping it'll be one of the most detailed modern GPU performance analyses you'll come across a few solid days of benchmarking you went into this so I hope you guys enjoy it the focus has been on the built-in benchmark tools since it does a pretty good job of replicating actual gameplay performance and the 90-second past is very extensive it also makes the benchmarking process much easier then the annoying issue being that I have to reboot the game every time the texture quality was changed and since I've tested with four different quality presets I'd be completely exited game four times to test each GPU on that note I've also tested at 1080p in 1440p the average of three runs was taking the minimum frame rate to be very accurate at this point I'm pretty much over the built in benchmark having run the test almost 400 times now anyway my standard core i7 test rig has been used and I've done my best to test all the current and previous generation AMD and NVIDIA GPUs the latest version one build five to four point seven was used for testing along with the latest AMD and NVIDIA drivers for Windows 10 there's plenty of data to get through so let's get into it first let's see how mankind divided runs when maxed out at 1080p please note MSAA hasn't been used in any of the tests in this video already we start to get a sense of just how GPU demand in the game is the gtx 1080 for example average 262 FPS and remember this is at 1080p something else you might have noticed is how well the AMD GPU is performed the Nano and fury acts are both seen outperforming the gtx 1070 moving down the food chain we find that those running previously powerful graphics cards such as the Radeon r9 390 and GTX 980 will struggle with just over 30 fps moving to 1440p it becomes quite clear that the gtx 1080 or fury actually required for smooth performance even then the fury axe does at times dip below 30 fps pretty shocking performance here for 1440p gamers but again keep in mind how impressive the game looks reducing the quality to very high does boost performance noticeably the me gpus such as the RX 470 unable to stay about 30 FPS and deliver a decent 43 FPS average still to break the 60 FPS barrier for the average gamers will still require the fury ax or GT x 1080 playing in 1440p using the very high quality settings still wipes out most of the graphics cards tested in order to stay at or above 30 FPS at all times games will require the gtx 980ti gtx 1070 or nano high is what the developer recommends all game is rocking high and hardware used as a starting point this makes sense because here the RX 470 gtx 980m gtx 1060 averaged 54 FPS while the 390x and gtx 980ti are able to break the 60 FPS barrier at 1080p even with a high quality preset enabled the GTX 1080 isn't able to average 60 FPS at 1440p meanwhile previous generation GPUs such as the GTX 980 and 9i 390 or force down to 30 FPS at times those running GPUs on the lower end of AMD and NVIDIA mid-range lineup will ideally be looking at the medium quality settings here the gtx 960 averaged 34 FPS while the RX 460 averaged 36 fps meanwhile the r9 380 X in GTX 970 you were pushing around 50 FPS the new gtx 1060 in our X 480 average a little over 40 FPS at 1440p using the medium quality settings while the gtx 1070 and nano delivered over 50 fps here we've compared directly how the gtx 1080 of pure EF scale using the four tested quality presets in the case of the 1080 we see a 23% increase when going from ultra to very high then from very high to high we see a further 14 percent performance boost finally from high to medium we say our largest performance gain yet a 24% jump interestingly the margins on the fury X are quite different from ultra to very high just 13% more performance was found meanwhile from very high to high we see huge 28 percent performance gain and then from high to medium a mild 9% performance game before moving on let's just take a look at how the slightly lower end gtx 1060 and rx 470 scaled again we see quite consistent scaling from the GeForce graphics card the gtx 1060 found 19% more performance when you only from ultra to very high a further 26% was found when going from very high to higher and another 11% performance from high to medium the RX 470 for the most part offered very similar performance and scaling right now there are more than a few gamers upset that their rigs can't provide playable performance when using the ultra quality settings honestly the visual quality difference between ultra and very high is almost non-existent this is what I'd be aiming for however as suggested by the developer a good starting point will be the high quality settings here we found playable performance with pretty much all the GPUs tested at 1080p and even 1440p the GTX 960 was the only graphics card to really drop down to unplayable levels and I hope this is just some kind of driver bug on the whole the GeForce performance was lacking though given Deus Ex mankind divided is named a sponsor title this isn't entirely surprising still it's great to see a modern cutting-edge game where AMD is extremely competitive this is all the more impressive given for now we can only test using DirectX 11 though DirectX 12 support is expected to be patched in early next month unlike games such as fallout 4 I've noticed that mankind divided isn't a system resource hog providing you have a modern quad-core processor chances are the CPU utilization is going to be very low as the game isn't very demanding on the processor the vast majority of the strain is on the GPU given the game's level of detail and overall image quality the super demanding ultra and very high quality settings don't surprise me hopefully DirectX 12 can help improve performance though I'm not expecting any miracles so short of running a high end GPU it doesn't look like the ultra quality options are going to be usable and I'm ok with that we need more PC games pushing the limits of the hardware and I feel that's what's going on here rather than back to the developer and call the game of rubbish PC port I feel like the ultra setting image quality does justify the performance we're seeing what do you guys think of these results are you surprised by how demanding the game is let me know in the comments I'm your host Matt as always and I'll see you guys next time youtubers like me depend on your support to continue improving the
