It should get you medium high considering the minimum they recommend is a 660. You're two generations above that.

 

As for the drive space requirement it seems about right for a new game these days. 40-50gb is what I would have expected.

I don't know, when I was looking at the 960 benches it seemed barely better than a 760, which is a jump from the 660 but...disappointing.  we'll see

Decent gameplay so far from what I've played, performance on console is terrible though (dips as low as 20fps in several places and slow load times):

From what I've heard, it's not much better on PCs: http://www.pcgamer.com/deus-ex-mankind-divideds-pc-port-suffers-technical-issues-backlash-over-pre-order-bonuses-devs-working-on-fix/

And to top things off, they've crammed in a game mode - Breach - that is full of microtransactions: http://www.thejimquisition.com/mankind-divideds-breach-mode-is-designed-to-divide-you-from-your-money/

Perf is fine on PC if you use appropriate settings

So far I like the game but I've been feeling too tired to get really into it.

What's he whining about now?  If it's the cheats you can buy or packs you can buy in Breach but earn often, who even cares?  If people want to spend their money on them that's fine, but nobody actually needs to.

Nope, it's not that, although Breach gets briefly mentioned.

It shows how greedy Square Enix are, though, that they'd shoehorn microtransactions into a game that was designed without them in mind.

 

Jim put out a follow-up video overnight that has some pretty interesting details from someone at Eidos Montreal who was involved in the game's development. Regardless of your stance on microtransactions, it's well worth watching.

He hasn't been worth watching yet, so I'll pass.

I have yet to see a Youtube celebrity worth wasting my time on.

Why did you even ask what he's talking about and provide a counter-argument to what you think he said in the video, if he's not worth wasting your time on? Seems rather contradictory.

Because I wasn't about to watch the video, obviously.  I'm wasting my time on you guys, not him.

What was the point of "If it's the cheats you can buy or packs you can buy in Breach but earn often, who even cares?  If people want to spend their money on them that's fine, but nobody actually needs to." if you had no intention on seeing the video or waiting for someone to tell you what it was about? It's obvious you have something against him, but at this point, it looks like you enjoy wasting time on your make-believe.

Every time everyone has brought him up, with few exceptions, it's been about something stupid.  So sure, I have something against people who post pointless drivel as gospel.

You'd first have to know what he's talking about for this argument to work, otherwise it's just your make-believe again. How do you know this wasn't one of those exceptions?

 

Anyway, that question was rhetorical and as much as I like pointing out your straw-man, this topic isn't about Jim Sterling. If you want to talk about what he actually says of the game and its development process, then continue by all means, otherwise, we'd better drop it.

 

And just so you know, I'm not some fanboy of his, it just happens that we agree on the expanding role of microtransactions in full priced games, Mankind Divided in particular as it is a single player game.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
