    Anyone here playing The Division on their Blade, specifically the 2014 model? Was wondering how well the 870m is running it.

    I ran the open beta back on a GeForce 970M GPU. You'll need to bring detail settings down to Low-Medium, if you want closer to 45-60fps at 1080p. Cranking up all of the details to max (Ultra) at 1080p will probably crush your GPU, and only give you around 20fps at most.

    Turn anti aliasing (Post FX AA) to off.

    Turn shadow quality and resolution down to low.

    Those two settings (AA and shadows) are usually the two settings that impact frame rates the most in games.
