Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is set in the year 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution and the “Aug Incident”—an event in which mechanically augmented humans became uncontrollable and lethally violent. Unbeknownst to the public, the affected augmented received implanted technology designed to control them by the shadowy Illuminati, which is abused by a rogue member of the group to discredit augmentations completely. (Wikipedia).

We test using the Very High preset, with MSAA disabled. We use the DirectX 12 API.

 

When playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the Armor 8G is fractionally behind the GTX 1080 at 1080p resolution, but pulls ahead at 1440p and 4K. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues throughout our testing today.
