For the launch of new games that AMD has actively collaborated with developers on, the company has recently released special videos discussing optimizations and balanced settings. Previous videos focused on Devil May Cry 5 and the remake of Resident Evil 2 by Capcom — both projects utilize the RE Engine. The new video addresses the cooperative shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 from publisher Ubisoft.
In the trailer, the company mentions close collaboration with developers, which has enabled the project to benefit from several Radeon graphics card technologies. For example, AMD talks about support for asynchronous computing, allowing the GPU to effectively handle graphical and computational loads simultaneously. Another technology, Shader Intrinsic Functions, enables developers to access the hardware directly, bypassing the graphic API, which also improves performance and reduces CPU load. As a result, the project gains almost the same advantages of low-level access as on consoles.
The manufacturer states that owners of Radeon RX 570 and above can confidently expect a frame rate of up to 70 frames per second in DirectX 12 mode at high quality settings and a resolution of 1920 × 1080. Meanwhile, Radeon RX 580 and 590 graphics cards allow gaming at the same resolution with 60 frames per second at maximum graphics quality.
Finally, owners of Radeon VII, RX Vega 56 and 64 can achieve a frame rate of 60 frames per second at a resolution of 2560 × 1440 with maximum graphics quality. Only the Radeon VII can ensure similarly comfortable gameplay in 4K at high settings. It is also worth noting that the project supports AMD FreeSync technology for a more comfortable gaming experience. Of course, it is recommended to download the latest driver for optimal performance.
AMD reiterated that new buyers of its RX 570 class graphics cards and above can receive The Division 2 for free, along with Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 2 (2019), as part of the "Join the Game Armed to the Teeth" promotion, which ends on April 6. According to the official website, this promotion is supported by retail chains in Russia such as Citilink, E2E4, MegaBit, Oldi, Online Trade, and Ulmart.
