Gears 5 PC performance thread
- Thread starter GrrImAFridge
- Start date
Played for a bit and the cutscenes are terrible with stutter. Gameplay is typically fine but there are weird hitches here and there. I though maybe the ultra textures were killing vram but it hasn't really gone over 5500
Ill probably continue playing on xbox x

Well, I had hopes but add this to the list of games that 4 cores simply cannot play. The tutorial and up to I think chapter 1-3 the game ran fine and then cinematics were a stuttering mess. Once I got control of my character in the city part the game stutters to the point of it being completely unplayable. This is with a 4690k @ 4.6ghz @ 1080p. Graphic settings don't change anything and I have a 2060.
Edit: Somebody earlier in the thread said to change animation quality to performance. I have no idea what this does because everything looks exactly the same but the stuttering seems to have stopped for now at least. Don't know about cutscenes.
Edit 2: Cutscenes are still unwatchable. Game is playable but it feels horrible because hitching still happens.

A weird graphical glitch appears for me in coop split screen. A black line stays in the middle of the screen... Anyone with something similar?
Steam version is very smooth for me.
I'm on a 980 ti/i7 4790/16 GB DDR3 RAM + SSD
At 1440p, Ultra on everything (including ultra texture pack) except a couple things notched down to high (Volumetric Fog, SSR, and Tessellation), I averaged 64 FPS in the benchmark and my 5% low was only 57 FPS. No stuttering or skipping issues so far in campaign either (albeit it's been like 10 minutes).

Game looks and runs amazing so far with a 1080 Ti and 3700x @ 3440x1440 all ultra + the texture pack. Hopefully the whole game performs this way.
I must say though: the Xbox One X version looks really, really good too. Makes the choice of where to play it a bit though since I have the One X using a 65in HDR TV and a better sound setup (dolby atmos) and moving my PC around just for one game sucks because of how heavy it is.

Huh, reinstalled the game but didn't install ultra textures and my stuttering is gone. Very weird since I have 8GB of vram and it only uses half that at 1080p.
Must be a weird bug.

thank you for the tip! It actually isn't showing up in my list of processes. Maybe I need to update my RTSS. I'm on 7.2.3 Beta 2.
I7 6700
2070
16gb ram
Windows 7
Playing at 1080p
The game defaulted to ultra settings, running benchmark and bootcamp it was in the low 40s. Turning everything down to medium and still can't maintain 60 in either. Updating gpu drivers atm to see if there is a difference.

Amazing options menu.
An odd thing from the benchmark: at first I thought the game cpu threading was amazing, I was reading very low time counts for both cpu render and game, around 5 Ms.
I decided to put everything on low at 720 and the game is suddenly cpu bottleneck, av framerate about 125 fps. Game cpu time jumps to 7 ms
Still at 720 I change to high details and the cou game time jumps back to 4-5 Ms and the bottleneck is pure gpu, average framerate around 115 fps.

its not unless you turn stuff down. I am speaking from experience here.. I have everything on ultra, fov highest, all highest textures etc @ 1440p I get 62-90 fps. Higher in less cluttered areas.
i should add, thats with an rtx 2080
I have not seen any stuttering apart from one of the early cut-scenes. Definitely nothing in game, fwiw.
0 crashes as well.
Just got to Act 3 and I took my time, finding/completing 4 drone upgrades
I havent updated my drivers and I was running it at ultra, 90fps with a 1060 6GB, weird.
I've had crashes and artifacting. All the errors are pointing at my shiny new card.
There is two settings of subtitles, check if both are off.
After I uninstalled the ultra texture pack my stutters problems disappeared....
This might be your problem.
The Coalition even said that the game will perform worse on Win 7 and will require more power then the normal version.
The DX12 API for Win 7 just isn't that great.

I seem to be getting infrequent stuttering too even in act 1. Tried multiplayer and the stuttering was even worse there. Literally made the game unplayable until I got kicked out from the game (was it the game that kicked me out because it was stuttering like crazy?)
Had to update my benchmark since I didn't realize there was an "insane" setting or a "15" particle spawn rate.
I remember a day when my 2080Ti wasn't the bottleneck in my system. Those days have gone. Bring on the 3080Ti.

As far as diagnosis goes, it may be helpful if you guys also specify if you're on the Windows Store version or the Steam version.
This game is super vram hungry at 4k with ultra textures. Using over 10gb. The game runs amazing. The only issue is that alt+f3 doesn't open the filter menu. Has anyone tried it?
Do you mind linking where they stated the bolded? I can't seem to find it googling. Had I seen that I wouldn't have bothered preordering it.
Misfortune pursues me
What the fuck is this shit??
All act 1 has been the same
Even JD textures wont load.
My AMD drivers are up to date and the textures transmission speed is set to ultra
I don't know what to do.
Xbox PC Store version.

It wasn't an statement directly but they did specify this with the requirments.
I would upgrade if I were you.
Using Win 7 on a system like that is just holding you back, specially when support for it will end in 4 months.
If you're playing the Win10 store version, Nvidia filters doesn't work.
Literally nothing but silky smooth for me in Act 1. Ryzen 2700 + Radeon VII, settings maxed at 4K.
5% low is 59.4 fps
I'm having the same difficulty. Cant keep a solid 60 no matter what besides turning everything to low in the benchmark. it defaults to Ultra though.
I'm on R7 3700x
GTX 1080
16gb DDR4 RAM
also at 1080p but downsampling now at 1440p because it ends up performing the same anyway. Which is mostly in the 50s, hitting 60 at points and dropping into 40s at points.
I am on Steam version. Oh also my audio is fucked making weird static popping noises.

Does toggling Tiled Resources under Video one way or the other make a difference?
People who get stuttering - are you utilising Dynamic Resolution Scalling by setting a minimum framerate?
I have the Xbox Store version via game pass. Stuttering seems to be random during campaign so far.
I've had the same issue with Gears 4 before, but I always thought it was because my old GPU (780) didn't have enough vram.Misfortune pursues me

Didn't try it during campaign, but I did try it setting it to 60fps for multiplayer and it did nothing to help with the stuttering.
I'm getting terrible audio stuttering on PC when using headphones on an Xbox controller. Also, endless campaign loading issue. I even deleted the save in slot one, but it still won't load. Might be an issue with the actual save slot?
The games code needs work. It's not just servers fucking things up.

That link is only talking about the minimum requirements, which are slightly higher. My system is no where near the minimum for windows 7, hardware wise anyway. Settings at medium shouldn't be putting out this kind of performance.
I already planned on upgrading to 10, unfortunately, prior to the expiration of updates on 7, just not atm and certainly not for a game. As for 7 holding me back, Besides Ubisofts AC series and MHW on my prior gpu (970) I haven't really had to many issues on 7 with recent games and MHW fps was fixed upgrading to the 2070.
Either way, thanks for responding, I'll just refund and not bother for now, maybe it will be discounted during the winter sale and I'll try again.
That is unfortunate, hopefully they can do some patching to fix it up.
The reason that the performance just isn't up to par is that Gears 5 is still a DX12 game if I were to guess.
Microsoft ported the DX12 API for World of Warcraft on Windows 7 some time ago, but they also specified that it lacks major optimisations that are specific to Windows 10 and that it only fuctions at a basic level.
Not to mention that even on Win 10 at the start, DX12's performance was fiddly at best with the vast majority of games, only MS's first party managed to make proper use of it. ( Not from the start either since their first games sucked performance wise)
Game has been smooth as butter so far. Running 2560x1080 at Ultra on 1070ti OCed, Ryzen 2600x and 16gb Ram. Have it locked at 75FPS. On my 4K TV it runs at 58-60 FPS at Ultra. Pretty happy with my results. Though I got to say, After installing the Texture pack, I get a couple of hitches and stuttering every once in a while. Never happened before the install.
Good lord, that's what I call optimization
Wow, WOW! And that is on a 1600 paired with a 1070 on those insane settings!
That bodes well for my 3700x and 1070 🤤🤤🤤
It's worse.
The 1080 that I swapped in to replace the 2070... it had zero issues. Same drivers too.
Time to contact EVGA.
Unfortunately, yes.
I still can't download them.
If you open the windows store page, you'll likely notice a Gears5 download that keeps starting and stopping in an endless circle.
