Gears of War 4 Graphics & Performance Guide
- Thread starter Yurikerr
- Start date
Well, the guide states that the GTX 750 Ti runs the game at an average of 45FPS on a mix of Medium and Low settings. An educated guess would place the XB1 version at Medium settings at best with a solid 30FPS.

UE4 scalability is impressive for sure
I've haven't observed anything like that.
I haven't tested that combo, but in general the game cares far more about the GPU: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/gu...performance-guide#gears-of-war-4-overclocking
Just out of curiosity, is this game pretty taxing on the CPU? I would assume not, but you never know.
Can't get MSI Afterburner stats in UWP, but we can see CPU performance in the benchmark: http://www.geforce.com/whats-new/gu...performance-guide#gears-of-war-4-overclocking Very much GPU bound
Etta seems quite convinced that the XB1 version runs on the High preset already.
We've been using a feature-limited build to keep filesizes down, and security up, so I haven't been able to look at this. Would certainly be interested to see it myself, splitscreen isn't something we get all that often on PC.
Andy, congrats on the awesome guide.
Now something kinda off-topic, but how much time do you invest in creating something as comprehensive as this?
I imagine that you guys generate a insane amount of game footage and screen to parse later and located the most stressful points.

Man, this awesome! 60fps on Ultra for GTX970 for my home rig. I will put on Dynamic Scaling just in case.
I'll definitely use Dynamic Scaling (up to 50%) for my GTX970M on my laptop.

The build we used was installed on Thursday, and I worked on from 7am-11pm Friday, 7am-3am Saturday, 8am-11pm Sunday, 7am-10pm Monday, most of yesterday when not doing work stuff, and then some final bits and pieces today. I've done more in less time before, so this was pretty easy going in comparison
Lots of playing to find spots, then lots of setting toggling, benchmarking, etc And I have a colleague who does the wider range of benchmarking for the charts and GPU lineups. Wouldn't be able to do it without him, so props to Oleg.

Well okay then, I will buy my first windows store game. Random question though: do we need live gold to play online on the PC?
I assume not, but you never know given Microsoft.

Nope.

You do not need Gold though I believe Xbox users need gold to play cooperative with PC players.
Hah.
Let's see how this educated guess of yours works out in reality.

Props to Coalition for their great programming skills using UE4!
I have a 4770k with a 1060 so it's going to be a treat playing this game at 1080p @ 60 fps.

Looks like I might actually get 4k/30fps on a 980 with a bit of tweaking
Amazing performance

BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
I have two related questions about the resolution scaling in Gears of War 4 (and other games):
1. Assuming 100% is my native 1680x1050 res, how many percentage points do I need to go up by to achieve 1920x1080?
2. Is it more demanding on a PC to scale to scale to higher resolution than it is to play at that resolution natively? Or would performance be about similar?
Thanks!

FYI - MultiGPU support will be hitting in an sometime after launch. Testing a few things out and wanting to make sure it is perfect before hitting everyone.

It's UE4. Epic is doing work ;P
since the game is play anywhere, can me and my son (provided he has xbl gold) play co op together with me on pc and him on x1?

Same as MultiGPU support for Gears of War Ultimate Edition then? So it's never coming out......
I remember everything
Coalition is working to implement DirectX 12s Multiadapter feature, which allows systems to recruit resources from multiple GPUs to bolster an applications performance. Think: multi-GPU technologies like NVIDIAs SLI or AMD CrossFire, but without the need for matching video cards. It wont be supported when Ultimate Edition release for PC, but McRae assured us that his team is working to make it a reality.

The fact that the PC version reaches 160+ FPS and the XB1 runs it at ~60 suggests that it's not very CPU intensive.
Well, going through the guide, there are several inexpensive settings that can easily be on High or even Ultra on XB1, but if you're hoping for the more demanding ones like screen space reflections, shadow quality and level of detail to be generally on High, you're going to be disappointed.
Also, your bias is clearly showing. My "educated guess" is basically already facts. A GTX 750Ti was matching many games on the PS4 almost a year ago. If the XB1 version is significantly above the GTX 750Ti, something is clearly wrong with the PC version.
?? Doesn't the XB1 version run at 30FPS?

Huh, I thought UE4 doesn't really support MultiGPU? Interesting.

No, for co-op you most likely need to be playing using separate Xbox live accounts.

I think you can if the Xbox is set as your home console, and your son plays on a different account on that console (and you'll be on your account on the PC).
At least it should

Does the game have support for triple monitor setups?

1. (1920x1080)÷(1680x1050) = 1.175, squareroot that give you 1.084, so you only need to set resolution scale to 108% - 109% to have an approx. pixel count as 1080p. But since your monitor in this case is not 16:9 so you won't be able to achieve full 1080p here.
2. Downscaling means the game is rendering at a higher resolution than your monitor, so naturally it will consume more resources and have lower framerates.

XB1 versions runs SP at 30fps and MP at 60fps.

This game was built on UE4 so it is a bit different.

last thing i saw was fergusson tweeting on 15 july saying they were still working on it
https://twitter.com/GearsViking/status/754130576383225856
how would you feel if they released multigpu support for gears 4 before gears of war ultimate? kind of a slap in the face to gears of war ultimate pc players...

What's the best field of view to play at on a 16:9 screen?

Dynamic Resolution On
No you ain't, the CPU is still fine.
First you said medium at best and you even bolded it, now you're moving goalposts saying that some settings might be High or Ultra? Then you somehow interpreted what I said as me "hoping"? Talking about bias when you yourself are guilty of it, the snarky remarks, the wrong interpretation because you automatically assumed things as a result of who you were talking to.
You're trying pretty hard to hide it but it's still there, regardless of how subtle it is, you're not fooling anyone. Just FYI
Let's see how accurate your educated guess is, how considerably worse the Xbox version will be at like-for-like resolution, when the game releases.

6700 non K is at least on par or slightly better than a 4GHz 4790.
71 fps on 1080p with my GTX970 i am ok with this.
What bias do I clearly show in my posts? I'm certainly not gloating "PC Master Race". And I meant as a baseline, at best, Medium will be the settings on XB1. This is assuming that the XB1 version does, in fact, run at a native 1080p at all times and does not utilize dynamic resolution scaling. If it does dip to 900p on regular intervals, it wouldn't be a suprise that the XB1 could run it on High as a baseline.First you said medium at best and you even bolded it, now you're moving goalposts saying that some settings might be High or Ultra?

Before you try to be a smart ass, educate yourself and check out the guide. There are several settings that cost next to nothing to increase. I will admit I jumped the horse a bit when I said Medium at best on XB1, as I hadn't read the guide yet.
You can go around thinking I have a thing against the XB1 for all I care. Just stating a likely scenario, deal with it. Is the XB1 going to magically have a lot more hardware grunt to power past the GTX 750Ti? Of course not. Could this guide be wrong and the GTX 750Ti can do better than what was mentioned? Possibly. But I'm just going by the guide.

It's close. Very. And when we update Gears 4, we will also update Gears UE at nearly the same time. Both are getting MGPU support at the same time.

Will it support mixed GPU setups, or do the two cards have to be the same? I think AotS is the only game that lets you combine Nvidia and AMD cards so far.

This sounds good, but "Very" is at least few weeks in Windows Store world isn't it? I mean even if patch will be submitted at game launch there is still certification process.
All hail Coalition! For we might have MGPU support!
