For more on the game's features be sure to check out the official Gears of War 4 website; on this page you can learn about each of Gears of War 4's PC graphics settings, examine interactive comparisons highlighting their impact on graphical fidelity, and discover their performance cost. And to close, we'll look at overall performance on our range of GPUs, revealing the level of power required to enable and max out each and every setting.

To start, check out some Gears of War 4 3840x2160 4K gameplay captured on a GeForce GTX 1080, in a pre-release build, meaning it looks even better now.


a long guide inside , really long

People will find a reason to complain. It could be extremely well optimized (which it actually appears to be) and people will crap all over it because UWP. This is the mindset of gamers now.

Always did against a Stock 980Ti. 980Ti's always shined when overclocked.

I'm assuming it's because of dx12. Pascal is much better at that
By Intel standards, maybe.

28 FPS @ 4K with maxed "insane" settings on a Titan X Pascal? Ouch.

Hopefully there's launch crossfire/sli support.

The insane settings are meant to be future proof settings, look at them individually, huge fps hit with IMO not that big of a quality boost.

And no, they stated SLI/CF support is coming in a later patch.

1060 3GB closing in on 980 TI in insane settings. Can't be using VRAM since its only 3GB, so what is it stressing that's more efficient on Pascal than Maxwell to have it close the performance gap so much?

Also why so many settings that have different IQ, yet almost zero performance impact. They should follow the KISS strategy. Easy to wreck IQ before increasing performance since you have no idea which of the 50 settings levels are important without this guide.

They're testing on high end hardware. It's quite possible that some of these things have more significant impact on midrange or low end hardware. Also, since when did PC gamers complain about too many customization options? As long as they get SLI and Crossfire support going and the performance isn't too fubar on AMD, this looks like the first decent Windows 10 store game.

Well them showing they have no impact isn't useful for a guide then. The whole point of the guide is so you can decide what settings to turn off to increase your performance... to optimize your IQ/perf that is.

I'm complaining because having too many options makes it harder to decide what should be turned off. I don't want to spend hours testing settings in order to get the optimal IQ / perf.

MGPU is coming after release, hopefully. Still hasn't arrived for GOW:UE.

Apex, KI and others have ran great from windows store though.
