Gears of War: E-Day final PC specs require RTX 5070 Ti or RX 7900 XT for 4K 60 FPS with upscaling

Gears of War: E-Day has gone gold, with pre-installation starting September 29. Final PC specifications mandate a ray tracing-capable GPU and 115 GB of SSD space to play. For 4K resolution at 60 FPS with upscaling, the game requires an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 7900 XT. Lower settings for 1080p resolution require an RTX 5050. These requirements suggest the game is more efficient than typical Unreal Engine 5 titles, as it does not require a flagship GPU to hit 4K 60 FPS targets.
