If you’re back to the original Gears game with this new and definitive release, War reloaded best gear, reloaded settings, This allows for an ideal balance between frame rate and graphical fidelity. OG Gears games never look good. Also, running in 4K with Ultra Graphics Preset is surprisingly easy with a relatively modern midrange setup.
The requirements for the Gears of War Reloaded system are a bit confusing, especially listing a large number of graphics cards across the two-tier specs. It’s not clear why so many people exist, but it’s safe to say from Gears of War’s running guide, reloaded with great performance, that you don’t need it near the best graphics cards.
Best Gear of Warreload Settings for PC
Graphic settings
- Anti-aliasing options: NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 (FSR 3.1 for AMD GPU)
- Scaling resolution:dlaa (FSR native AA)
- Texture quality:Ultra
- Anisotropic filtering:4x
- Shadow quality: expensive
- Surrounding blockage: Quality
- Motion blur: Above
- Visual Effect Quality: expensive
- Reflections in screen space: expensive
- Flash reduction: Off
Displays settings
- Frame Rate Limit:Match the maximum refresh rate of the monitor (setting limit is 230)
- vsync: Above
- HDR:on (if the monitor is compatible)
Using the above settings on the RTX 4070 test rig, I achieved an average frame rate of 141fps at 1,920 x 1,080 at 1,920 x 1,080 at an average frame rate of 141fps. This dropped slightly to an average frame rate of 136fps at 2,560 x 1,440 at 1% low of 92fps, but when we moved to 4K, we had a big drop when we moved to 4k, which had an average frame rate of 60fps at 45fps.
The game also plays the appearance at all resolutions, even if the numbers drop slightly when you move to 4K. This is the case in both its huge set pieces and desperate combat scenarios, and single-player campaigns with fast-paced multiplayer gameplay.
It’s fair to assume that this is expected, but given that Gears of War is almost 19 years old and has already undergone one visual upgrade, it’s great to see a game release with such a steady performance on a PC.
Best Gear of Warreload Settings for Steam Decks
- Graphic Preset: Medium
- Anti-Ariasing: AMD FSR 3.1
- Resolution Scaling: Quality
- Frame Rate Limit: 60 (on LCD) 90 (OLED)
Gears of War Reloaded runs very well on a steam deck when using medium graphics presets along with AMD FSR 3.1 in quality settings. This gave us an average frame rate of 60fps with few notable droplets, even when on-screen actions were busy.
You can set the FSR to Balance or Performance to further push the game. The latter returned an average frame rate of 92FP without distorting image quality on a small deck screen. Naturally, if you’re following this higher performance, you’ll want to increase the framerate limit.
Gears of War Reload Graphics Preset
There are five total graphics presets reloaded Gears of War.
- The lowest
- low
- Medium
- expensive
- Ultra
As shown in the image below, the difference between the lowest and ultra settings is popular (right-click on a new tab of the original size to open it). You can only assume that the lowest preset is for a very inadequate gaming PC or handheld, but I would avoid using this preset if possible, as the game doesn’t look good at all.
Within the Graphics and View menu, there is a tracker that shows the expected impact of each setting on game performance, listing the available VRAMs for your graphics card.
How to test how Gears of War was reloaded
uses a dedicated gaming rig to test the best settings for performance and gameplay with the latest release. The test rig used to play Gear of Warry Road includes the following components: IntelCoreI7-11700F, NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 12GB, 32GB DDR4 3,200MHz RAM, and MSI B560 motherboard. Also test using Windows 11 64bit.
First run the test at 1,920 x 1,080 to identify the best setting for this entry-level resolution, then again at 2,560 x 1,440 to measure performance differences using the same setup. Finally, we’ll also test it out on 4K. CapFramex is used to capture frame data and compare test sessions.
Do Gear of Warrior Load require an SSD?
Gears of War Reloaded does not require the use of an SSD according to system requirements. This means you can download and launch the game from a traditional hard drive, but if you want to get the fastest game load time, we recommend upgrading to an SSD.
If you’re interested in upgrading from an old-fashioned mechanical drive, or if you want extra storage space, you can find current SSD recommendations in the Best Game SSD Guide.
How to monitor performance of Gears of War reload
If you want to focus on Gears of War reload performance, there’s a simple way to do it, whether you’re using an NVIDIA card or an AMD graphics card.
For NVIDIA cards, install the NVIDIA app and make sure you have enabled in-game overlays, then press ALT + R to view the performance monitor in-game. With an AMD card, you can enable performance monitoring via the Radeon overlay using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+O.
Alternatively, you can download free software like CapFramex or Nvidia Frameview to get a cleaner, more simplified benchmarking tool that works with any graphics card.
With a handheld gaming PC, there is a dedicated button for accessing a quick menu that can be accessed by performance monitoring, known as real-time monitoring.
