From our Deus Ex: Mankind Divided review:

'In a year filled with great games, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided looks like it could be one of the strongest, and it's tough to imagine a world where it's not on everyone's lips come game-of-the-year time. Deus Ex's world is denser than any I've seen in recent memory, and it's got the gameplay chops to match.'

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is our second DirectX 12 title. We test using the 'Ultra' preset and at these settings it is currently one of the toughest games to run smoothly, presenting a challeng for even flagship graphics cards. We run the built-in benchmark (hidden in the 'Extras' menu) as it is very consistent and makes full use of the engine's features. We also rely on the game's own frame rate counter since FRAPS does not currently work with this game when using DirectX 12. We've actually found that your experience in-game will typically be with frame rates actually a little higher than the average frame rate from the benchmark, but even so it's the minimum frame rate that we focus on and that you should really take into consideration because it's in the most challenging parts of the game that you'll really feel the slowdowns, and it's no good having a sub-par experience in the heat of battle.
