  3. Gears of War: E-Day Goes Gold With Final PC Hardware Requirements

    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.

    Why it matters

    The technical demands of Unreal Engine 5 often result in high hardware barriers for high-resolution gaming. These specifications establish the baseline for PC players ahead of the official launch.

    What is confirmed

    • Gears of War: E-Day has gone gold.
    • Pre-installation for the game begins September 29.
    • 4K 60 FPS with upscaling requires an RTX 5070 Ti or RX 7900 XT.
