How To Optimize Your PC for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Looking to pick up Deus Ex:Mankind Divided, but don't quite meet the system requirements? Or maybe just looking to get the most of it by turning up the graphics to high, but it's causing a bit of a stuttering on your rig. Well, you might be able to optimize things to try to get the most out of this game.

Step 1)Play the game in windowed mode.
For whatever reason, while fiddling with the graphics on my lower end system, I noticed that if you play in windowed mode it seems to move better and drastically improved my frame rate over full screen mode.

Step 2)Lower your graphics settings.
The developers have given a lot of options to tweak and change the graphics options in game, so utilize them. They have said that even if your computer meets the recommended system specs, that is geared towards the 'high' graphics present, so those very high and ultra options may be beyond you if you are just meeting those specs. If you aren't experiencing good frame rates, then turn them down. One of the main culprits of lose of frame rats can be the MSAA setting, so turn that off and use anti-aliasing instead and you should see quite an improvement.

Step 3)Update your drivers.
Always check to make sure your drivers are up to date when running any new game, most of the video card companies will release new drivers when a big title comes out, that will provide increased stability for that specific game, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is no exception to this. Check the Nvidia or AMD websites respectively, depending on what your video card is, to see if you are up to date.
