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.
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.Originally Posted by MohicanGR Go to original post
Hello!Originally Posted by MohicanGR Go to original post
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.
If you are also experiencing this issue, feel free to create a support case on our website and provide system files: https://support.ubi.com/en-GB/faqs/000026442/Originally Posted by MohicanGR Go to original post
We can review the files to try to determine why this is happening with you.

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!Originally Posted by Metallica774 Go to original post
