30fps for 4k on my 980ti is fine. Sucks to be a 3gb 1060 owner though...

Gears of War 4 Graphics & Performance Guide
- Thread starter Yurikerr
- Start date
I believe Killer Instinct and Halo 5 run well. As well as Apex for the most part. Not sure about Recore, haven't been following it.
Gears 4 on pc sounds great.
Andy, is there a way to target a framerate and let the game do what it takes to scale to get there?

It could have been 16.10.1, but when i installed it couple days ago it was still showing 16.9.2 as my current crimson version?

Recore is pretty good also. They only real broken one was Quantum Break.

And Gears of war Ultimate which took months to get it fixed if my memory is correct. ANd then we have Forza which has it's issues as well.

Gears UE still has its fair share of unacceptable stutters, slow downs and audio glitches. And I experienced these all while playing on a Gsync monitor.

That is depressing as I was looking forward to pick that up down the line.

My Gears 4 preload has restarted twice. I've downloaded about 35 GB altogether. Got to love the Win 10 Store.

It's definitely still playable (and enjoyable) if you're a fan of the first game (which I'm a big fan of), just giving you a heads up that you will run into some technical issues.

Forza Horizon 3 definitely falls under the "really broken" category right now. Trying to do anything above 30fps, and even at 30fps, introduces a huge number of issues to the game. There are a lot of people with BSoDs and crashes too; thankfully I'm not one of those.
I think it's understandable that people are wary, especially with that release so close.

Recore is pretty much stock Unity DX11.
That's an old build, it says so right above the video.
Compressed web video still lets me gauge texture quality and lighting and I'm thoroughly unimpressed.
Again, game could be great, but outside of the crazier atmospheric effects (storms/winds etc. in other demo footage), the environments look small with so-so texture work and it still has that clunk gears animation engine which feels absolutely last-gen.
The art-design seems fine but, even then, it's not impressing me like the 'destroyed beauty' aesthetic of the first game.

Gameplay bugs aside, Recore is pretty solid. The only "broken" UWP game right now is Quantum Break, and Forza Horizon 3 to an extent.
And yes there is a dynamic scaling option to let the game try to keep one set framerate by dropping resolution, and you can even set how much lower you want the resolution to drop.

Love these in-depth guides. Thanks for that!
Thank you. Would love to see some advanced multiGPU stuff going on. Something other than AFR that perhaps uses the GPU cores and all of the VRAM across my cards in novel ways.

About to go to bed. BUt I want to thank Andy again for this guide. Even if I may not buy the game, I love reading through these guides checking out the performance of individual settings and the visual differences in comparison. Just love it. 
Yeah, considering how UE4 is and how this game apparently scales up, perhaps it is right to call the xb1 version the port here. JK. xb1 version will probably perform and look exactly like one expects given its hw.
That would be wicked.
Yeah, game looks like skub.

Just listen to those gun sounds, seriously who thinks those are anything else than terrible?
Devs really should focus bit more on sounds than just spend everything on gfx and then at the end "oh right we have to make sounds too, oh well lets copy those sounds from GoW1 where we spent 50$ for recording audio"
Just go compare any newish BF sounds to these, at least Dice have realized that sounds matter. Hope that rest does too in some far future.
What?? Where is this GIF from? I've never seen it.
You seem surprised it exists
I made it from a webm of one of the streams she did if I recall.
For your friend a 4k 30 or 1440p 60 at ultra. Your 4k 60 fam.
Don't recall this stream from Stefanie. Who's the person on the wheel? As far as I know, she always streams on her own. It certainly isn't from GirlGamerGab's or that other MGO stream either.You seem surprised it exists

A colleague has an i7-5930K and a GTX 1080, and at 3440x1440 he got 68.7 FPS AVG, 56.5 MIN in the benchmark with Ultra settings and 90 FOV.

Some benchmarks from WCCFTech: http://wccftech.com/gears-war-4-performance-review/
This game seems to be good tech wise.

I'll be playing it on a very similar laptop but it's an ASUS not a DELL. Anyway I'll be playing it tonight and I think we can hope for hitting 60fps at 1080p with some tweaks. Obviously not on Ultra or anything but i'd hope for at least as good as xbone.
Be interesting to see how the dynamic res scaling works to help out weaker computers rather than the big focus thats just people talking about upscaling for their expensive GPUs!
What this goes to show again is that if a game uses a widely-employed and tested multiplatform engine then it's very unlikely the PC version will have any major issues.
