Test System

Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We used the latest public Steam release version of Deus Ex, which includes the day one patch (not a press pre-release).

Graphics Memory Usage

Using a GTX Titan X, which has 12 GB of VRAM, we tested the game's memory usage. As you can see, the game's memory requirements are not too high. When using High details, which is still challenging for many cards performance-wise, memory usage stays well below 3 GB, which is important for the GTX 1060 3 GB for example, or the RX 470/480 4 GB. In Ultra, memory use goes up to 5.5 GB at 4K, which is not a lot considering that high-end cards today have 8 GB VRAM.
