The Division PC Screenshots, Max settings with HBAO+

Recent PC screenshots that have been uploaded from the PC version of The Division have not been at the games max settings, excluding effects such as Lens Flares, Vignetting, Chromatic Aberration, and Post FXAA. Lets have a look at the game with HBAO+ enabled.

Please click on the images below to see them at their full resolution and size.

In these screenshots the HBAO+ graphical effect is most noticeable under the player's hood and around many of the objects in the environment, though sadly without the same screenshots without HBAO+ we cannot give you guys a side by side comparison, though hopefully we might be able to do that over this weekends beta period.

Ubisoft has already called The Division's PC version "more than a port", saying that it would support "a lot of hardware", which hopefully means that we can expect a good PC port of the game.

Massive Entertainment, the developers behind Tom Clancy's The Division, have their root on PC, with their first games being the Ground Control series on PC and World in Conflict, with the developer also collaborating in the development of Far Cry 3, another game with a great PC version. Massive say that they take it as a matter of pride to deliver a good PC version of the game, so let's hope that they deliver a port that backs up this talk.

Looking at the game requirements we can see that the game requires quite a lot of CPU power, requiring a minimum of a Sandy-Bridge i5 quad core or a 6-core AMD FX 6100 and 6GB of RAM. The GPU requirements look very even when it comes to AMD and Nvidia, requiring a minimum of a GTX 560 or an AMD HD 7770 and recommending a GTX 970 or an R9 290.
