    This is a sub-bet quality piece of code

    My machine is quad-core i7 with 8GB and GT740 graphics. Even in low graphics settings the hard disk is constantly on and the rendering is freezing in every move. This is obviously a very VERY bad game engine design, with non-optimized texture caching and awful memory management. In terms of a ICT student work, it marginally grades at D- if not F. This is the last time a give a chance to UPlay to improve its game quality, after Farcry 5 and other games had the same problem - but this is totally unplayable. If Division 2 does not get a serious servicing, I'm getting a refund and never touch anything like this again.

    Same problems appear with other similar GTX cards and even when installed on a SSD disk. This is totally a joke...

    A GT 740 is the lowest level of GPU. That's way below even minimum for the game.( About 25% of the performance of a GTX 670 ). That is why it is freezing and playing like a slide show . Not the HDD. You can buy those for about $70. All modern games will give you the same issues. You need to upgrade. And of course Farcry 5 would have had the same problem. Its not the games code. Its your PC. You cannot run a game like this on a GPU intended for the office. And an SSD will not help when you are so bottlenecked by your graphics card.

    My PC for example with an I7 8700K/GTX 1080ti / 32 GB memory and an SSD runs the game with max settings on 1440P at a constant 75-85 FPS (VSYNC limited to 85). Smoothly also..with never a stutter at any time.

    As noted, that GT740 is below the minimum spec. It was the lowest-end card you could get five years ago, so no surprise it can't handle a game released in 2019.

    Hello!

    As our other forum friends suggested, this is likely a GPU limitation.

    The GT series of graphics cards are not designed for modern day gaming, so this will cause a major bottleneck in the system.

    Thank you both!

    My only suggestion to anyone else that has experienced frame-throttling since the last Windows update is to go into the device manager and re-disable the integrated graphics in your motherboard. I helped someone fix this yesterday on the official TD2 Discord, so Ubi Support now you know

    That may be a last resort suggestion for us because that involves making a more significant change to the system. Thanks for heads up!
