We are excited to announce that we will be hosting another Elite Task Force. This time around we will be focusing on PvP balancing and the Dark Zone for Update 1.6. It will be hosted at Red Storm in North Carolina from January 11th to 13th.
Previously, DirectX 12 support for The Division appeared on public test server(PTS) for update 1.5.
DirectX 12 should offer improved framerates for those with compatible systems, but Nvidia hardware has been having a hard time with this API, as using DirecX 12 in some cases does not smoothen the frame rate but drops it. Let’s hope this changes with The Division.
The Division is a third-person action shooter developed by Ubisoft Massive for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
