And then there's the graphics settings list, which goes above and beyond anything else. You can play at any resolution, field of view adjustments are available, and the cutscenes are even in 21:9 by default (which means the sides either get cropped or you get letterboxing on a 16:9 display, and there's a menu option that lets you choose). Here's a quick look at what the PC version of Gears 5 has to offer.
And last, Gears 5 appears to be for DirectX 12 only, and in many DX12 games AMD graphics cards tend to perform better relative to their Nvidia competition.

Plus, you can play Gears 5 "free" via Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, and you get a free 3-month subscription with the purchase of an AMD RX 5700 series GPU. It will be one of the first games to support AMD's new FidelityFX (Borderlands 3 being another), and AMD sent out a press release detailing a few other features. Or maybe it's just that we have GPUs that are basically twice as fast (and over twice as expensive).īefore we get to the testing, a few items are worth mentioning. Gears 4 couldn't manage a playable 60 fps at 4K back in the day, but perhaps Gears 5 will do better. Now we're looking at Nvidia's RTX cards (though the ray tracing abilities aren't used by Gears 5) and AMD's RX 5700 as the latest and greatest. In late 2016, the fastest graphics card around was the GTX 1080, and on the AMD side we were looking at the R9 Fury X. Hardware has changed quite a bit in three years.

As our partner for these detailed performance analyses, MSI provided the hardware we needed to test Gears 5 on a bunch of different AMD and Nvidia GPUs, multiple CPUs, and several laptops.
