Can I Run The Division?
Ubisoft released The Division in 2023. It is an action adventure game, self published by the studio. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Steam lists support for 14 languages. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Metacritic places it at 84. Completionists have 67 achievements to work through. The game ships for Windows alone. Over 31 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a world after its collapse, moving through one continuous open world. The publisher supplies 10 storefront screenshots of these environments. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and The Division has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why The Division is demanding
Very little is asked of the GPU by The Division. AMD RX 480 ( scores low against the RTX 3060, putting The Division within reach of laptop and integrated graphics. Windows 11 appears in the requirements, which is worth checking before buying The Division. The Division takes about 77 GB of disk space. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so The Division at the floor and The Division at the recommended tier are not the same experience. Video memory is not the constraint here, at 4 GB. DirectX 12 is named, so The Division expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. At 8 GB, system memory is undemanding.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run The Division?
Older hardware holds up here: The Division runs on modest graphics, with AMD R9 280X (3 GB), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (3 GB with Shader Model 5.0+), or better enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. The Division needs about 77 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 1.98x |
| 1440p | Borderline | 1.11x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.49x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against The Division's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
