For those with Gsync monitors you can add the game as a profile in NVCP and switch the monitor technology to Fixed Refresh or ULMB if you want to avoid having to switch it off and on manually. Was under the impression it would not be doable given the UWP nature but that setting at least works (I just checked with Fixed refresh, not sure about ULMB).
Since it's not an .exe or traditonal application, nothing we have will hook into it. It's Microsoft's bullshit "Universal Applications," so stuff we have right now doesn't work because of the limitations that are built into it. So right now there's no real way to see FPS other than the bench mark.

People boast about the beauty of being a PC gamer is the fact you have multiple different online storefronts. Now we are not allowed to use them? Should we buy everything from Steam? Listen, if I want Microsofts exclusives then I'll gladly buy off the Win10 store, but that won't be enough money from me and others going there only for the exclusive titles. I'm sure most of us won't bother buying anything else from there.
Anyway, I have a GTX970 and an I54690K. I can tell I'm getting constant stuttering on the high pre set, but for the tutorial it was fine. Not particularly happy with the performance so far, but it's late and I didn't have time to test properly. The game was like £20 and I felt like trying out the Win10 store. It will take something special to keep me coming back because I'd rather play these games on my Xbone as it stands since the performance matches the hardware on that system. No surprises here, I knew the MS store would be trash, Quantum Break will be trash and that's just my 2 cents. MS won't change.
Stop telling me how to spend my money you jerk.
What was the point of this being DX12? The original was extremely well optimized on DX9. It ran flawlessly at 1080p on videocards of that era (nearly 10 fucking years ago)
DX12 at this point is such a poison chalice. Hitman / Quantum Break really need to smash it out of the park.

I hope this is cross play or the online population of this game will be dead in record time.
AHAHHAH The first one. LMAO An 860m is a trash GPU did this guy really think he could run Gears on it.
Also if nobody already knows they are making a alternative windows 10 games store.
When I add the Gears: Ultimate Edition profile in NVCP, it shows up as something weird like "microsoft_deltapc.8weke38423". Is this what yours looks like?
yes
Appears to me normally, just with a blank icon unlike most games.
Though I've found using this it appears like it doesn't switch Gsync back on after playing, so might be a moot point. I guess it saves having to disable it, so it's a slightly lesser hassle, but still a hassle to re-enable.
Though IIRC I've had this issue before, where setting a profile to not use Gsync didn't re-enable it when using other stuff. So it might just be an Nvidia thing they still haven't fixed rather than related to Gears. I don't use the option enough to know.
A Maxwell 860m is literally a 750Ti. I'll let you all know later tonight how it runs on mine. Judging by how well it runs on my 970, I'd assume it'll run decently.
So I just finished updating my computer. WTF, how does this take this long?
So from 10:45pm to 1am est the flying fuck. I guess this is like a mini service pack, but come on. And run the updater from windows settings almost everyday, it couldn't prompt me about this update form November.
For NAT. I haven't tried it myself yet but just thought I'd share it so someone else can update us.

Why are the specs so significantly higher on this Gears of War port then the original release from like ten years ago? The visuals only got a slight bump from what I saw. I remember maxing the original on an old 8800gt with 512mb of ram. Pretty sure I got 60 frames too.
What gives?

So, question because I'm curious:
How did they manage to not support G-Sync, and have FMVs and loading screens chug to a crawl when it's enabled? This is the first time I've ever heard of that happening, and I was under the impression that G-sync wasn't exactly a breakable thing on the software side.
I'd really be curious to watch or read an analysis on how they managed to break G-sync support.

The IQ is... kinda bad? Have you seen what MGS5 looks like? Maintains an easy 60 even on hardware several years old.
lol really?

I know Right!
This is badly optimized.
Why they did not just start building this in UE4 is beyond me!
Okay, so this is a borderless windowed game that can actually downsample. Did Rise of the Tomb Raider have issues with that? I got that on Steam. Though IIRC this is the only borderless game I've played that can actually downsample. So at least that's one annoyance with the UMP games that I can cross off the list.

It appears you are not the only one experiencing trouble:

Some of the users are reporting stuttering problems with a 980ti as well.

so far MS did the following
- give less reasons to buy an Xbox one since the exclusives are coming to PC
- release those PC games either in complete or in not finished state with no ability to optimize the game since its from the their own store. ( Forza less content, GOW Less content and somehow a mess )
some people needs to be changed at MS asap.

Thanks for this tip. This works in not only fixing the cutscenes and load times it also greatly reduces the stutter/hitches.
Gears UE has less content on PC ?

No splitscreen

Turn off frame limiting in options?
Also....erm....any idea why this is somehow taking up 100GB of hard drive space? lol
I figured after it installed itself, it would just take up the 50GB listed, but no. Do I have to manually delete some files somewhere? If so, that is ridiculous.

yes. they took out the split screen. i guess they figured the performance is bad as its. and they didn't think people will like to play a power point presentation as a split screen
No big deal as far as I'm concerned.
Still a vastly superior experience on PC.
Much to your dismay.

So yeah, this game leaves like 44.0 GB of temporary files which I have just had to delete manually. Seriously?

It's sadly a common omission from PC games. Valve took it out of L4D on PC as an example. It sucks but not unique.

I don't consider taking content off is a superior experience. I don't care if its a big deal to you or not either with all respect.
and I don't consider performance worse than an Xbox one is a better experience. specially since i SHOULDN'T buy a high end of line GPU for this game.
I can't really tell if you are serious or joking or just a fanboy (not an insult). I do not check people history but whatever.
The game can perform much better on PC. Just look around, there are issues with AMD cards but by no means the PC version is inferior, 60fps is a game changer.
Right, said by somone who threw a tantrum because his precious little exclusives are coming to PC.
Pot calling the kettle black. :d

I can't believe what i'm reading. First the VRAM and now this.
It's like MS is doing this on purpose to troll us.

that applies to me because i have a 290x >_> lol
Be patient. The game will eventually be fixed and it should run much better than the Xbox One version ever will.
I have to say I did not see this game running pretty bad on some AMD GPUs.
I thought their DX12 drivers were already excellent even at this early stage.

Maybe I am just spoiled by years of Steam delivery, but seriously, surely deleting temporary install files should be job one after actually installing the damn game? Has this not happened for anyone else? I had to perform disk cleanup just to get the files off my system!

Even the fact that this game, with these visuals and textures, takes up 50GB, temporary files aside, is simply ridiculous.
have you turned off locked framerate?
