Yup, I had the most recent drivers and just reinstalled them.
Logitech devices across the board are having issues with audio, although it seems to be specifically headsets with virtual surround capabilities. Are you using Logitech speakers, per chance?
FWIW, removing the Ultra Texture Pack and limiting the cinematics to 30 FPS has removed all stuttering from the game for me. Using a RTX 2080. Everything else maxed (including Insane settings) and getting great performance. I was getting great performance before as well with the texture pack installed and unlimited FPS for the cinematics but the stuttering got to be too distracting. Keeping it as is until they patch it or maybe a new driver fixes it.
So, uhm... My PC kind of exploded while playing this game.
I doubt it was related, but thought I should share anyway.

I get this in Sekiro. And Gears wouldn't load HDR at all for me. After 2 hours of fiddling with settings, try this in Nvidia control panel:
-use nvidia color setting, color depth 32bit, output color depth 8bpc, output color format RGB, Output dynamic range limited.
RGB is the key point. For some reason my AV receiver which can do X and Apple TV dolby vision with zero issues can't accept a 4k 60hz HDR signal from a PC unless everything is set to RGB. Not auto. Not 4:2:2. RGB.
This worked for me.
Can't keep 60fps at 4k Max settings on a 2080 ti/i7 7700. I still need to play through the first 5 games before I get to this one, so just gonna hope drivers and updates during that time help further. I hate turning down graphical settings, it's why I bought a 2080 ti. XD
If I were a betting man, I'd put it more on 7.1 audio devices than Logitech devices. There's nothing special about their sound setup, the only real variable is the virtual sound uses an actual 7.1 audio input on the driver level. Has Coalition said anything about it on twitter or something? I sent them a report myself when the game initially launched but haven't heard back yet.
This game is insanely well optimized. 4k Insane settings are for future cards.
Are you guys using the dynamic resolution scaling? It's a pretty awesome feature. I never notice it dip.
1080ti i7 4790
I'm going with vsync off (for gsync reasons) and 60fps minimum and 144fps maximum (to max out the screens), unlimited for cinematics. Ultra on everything but not ultra textures, yet.
There is some minor micro stutter sometimes, a tiny hiccup. Is that what you see? I only notice this on slow camera pans, usually during cutscenes, haven't really thought about it during gameplay.
I wasn't trying to suggest it was poorly optimized. Just gonna see how the next Nvidia driver does before deciding on what I should tweak.
nah, the game has proper stuttering for some people, like 0,5 second pauses during gameplay. I had it too, turning off the minimum framerate thing mostly fixed it.
Ok, decided to just hook up my PC to my TV just to get 4k HDR for this game and man does it look good! Settled with using the minimum framerate to 60 option and to be honest, the dynamic resolution scaling isn't really that obvious. My 1080 Ti gets me around 75% of 4k with the benchmark at max settings and it still ends up looking so much cleaner than straight 1440p while keeping framerates at 60 consistently. All games should have such a feature!
Uninstall
If you did it correctly it will close the game and you'll have to relaunch it.
I just put the option down to high...no wonder it didn't make any difference.
Agreed.
The resolution scaling with my setup at 4k/Max settings (i7 7700k @ 4.9 GHz and GTX 1080 Ti with small 15 core OC) works very well and I hardly notice the resolution drops.
Wondering the same thing. I'm using the Win Store version so is this one of those where you have to enable the OS HDR before launching the game?
edit: enabling HDR in Windows 10 (1903) has made a HDR option visible in the Video menu however if I enable it and say yes to save my settings, it just reverts to 'off'.

So outside of an ocassional stutter in a couple of cutscenes early in the game and late in the game, everything ran flawless from start to finish.
No framerate or frametime issues of any kind during play (felt like maybe 13 or 14 hours, as I was taking my time). Overall refinement and QC made it feel like a game with 3 or 4 months worth of post-launch patches. I almost forgot a game could launch without any clear issues that need to be addressed.
Very impressed by The Coalition and their work here.

Very true I actually bought a ps4 soley for those games and also Detroit then sold it once finished. At least Metro saved the day this year and DMC was a nice addition leading up to this next batch star wars, ghost recon, cod and doom that will close the year on a high.

Only played about an hour so far, so not reached the skiffing parts, but so far its been a stutter-free experience above 60 fps. Expect it will dip below at some point, it's hovered just above 60 on a few occasions already. I seem to be lucky though judging by this thread..

I'm using RX 470 and got 74 FPS in benchmark on all high settings and around 80-100 in Escape. Game performs wonderfully on slower HW.
1080p of course.
You need to turn on HDR in Windows first for the HDR options to appear in the game's options.
My 1080TI and i5 6600 running between 50-60fps 4k maxed out, but alas I get annoying stuttering which sometimes devolves into an alarming beep sound 2hrs into game. Got the texture pack. Going to update drivers and see if that changes anything haven't updated in months...

No need to change anything at the moment though. Performance is great, just cautioning against getting carried away as it is still early game.
Just done a mission where the frame rate was in the 30s throughout no matter the settings and the GPU usage was fine.. think that mission has problems!
The Lab
I'm on 430.86. Runs great :)
Exactly my specs, nice to see
I'll probably go with 1440p and lower some other stuff though
Anyone who is getting stuttering, are you using the Nvidia Low Latency set to Ultra? That causes stuttering in some games
RTX cards will probably get better results with the gaming ready drivers.
OC'ed GTX 1080 (11gbps) - 1440p - Dynamic Res Off - Ultra

This setting does not affect DX12 games according to Nvidia.
EDIT : Does Gears 5 run in DX12 on Windows 10 though ?
Have you not been reading what other people are experiencing? lol
It does from Gamepass, I think the Steam version is DX11.
