Every game should have such versatility in terms of graphics options. Amazing.
@Galva Tron I lost IQ reading this
@Galva Tron What are you on about , the high res textures are easy enough to install if you want them, there's no point forcing people to download them if they're not going to use them, high res textures take up storage space.
You are spilling so much verbal diarrhoea that doesn't make sense, it's clear you have no clue what you're talking about. How old are you?
@Galva Tron You mean the Insane textures pack that's meant for larger RAM pools and for 4K resolution and above?
As a PlayStation only player, obviously you wouldn't know anything about resolutions or texture settings that go that high.
Go troll somewhere else.
Thank goodness I haven't restricted myself to slavishly playing on one platform... I own an Xbox One X, OG PS4 and a Switch, and I love them all... They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
PC Gaming, quite frankly, sucks
@Galva Tron I'm 34, GUY...
I HIGHLY doubt you have been gaming longer than I have been alive...
I have a college education and I was an Aviation Operations Specialist in the US Army for 6 years, between the years of 2003 to 2009. I think I would qualify as being somewhat acquainted with the real world. I have also been gaming regularly since I was about 12... starting with survival horror games, first person shooters and fighting games.
So don't try the whole, "he's an ignorant kid gag with me" or anyone else,... it's not that impressive.
If you or anyone else can't handle being trolled in response to your trolling, perhaps you aren't suited for the argument for which you want to be involved...
Catch my drift?
Maximum respect to Microsoft for continuing to bring Xbox’s best games to pc & not just shoddy low effort ports either, we are getting games that push beyond the already Fantastic Xbox one x versions.
MS are going for the PC market it's a place they can dominate and Sony can't touch, soon pc gamers will invest in ultimate game pass cause it will be the best place to play xbox exclusives.
Exactly, people think Microsoft is doing bad with Xbox brands but they are doing stellar when it comes to support. I believe they are actually getting that platform exclusives are antiquated strategy. It is better to have it available on multiple platforms and let the service speak for itself.
Trigger Happy It’s an interesting situation. We know from the big publishers financial reports that the market share for AAA multiplats is approx 50% PS4 25% Xbox 25% PC. Sony outguns everyone. MS’s push on the PC front is crucial to their sales of exclusive content. Be interesting to see how Gears 5 sells across Xbox/PC. The exclusive champ this gen is Spider-Man on PS4 currently at 14m and counting. It won’t get anywhere near that but moving into the next gen I think the MS ecosystem is going to be a much stronger rival to Sony. And Game Pass will be at the centre of the ecosystem.
@@divinitymode9364 Sony doesn't have anything that rivals the financial power of Minecraft. Microsoft doesn't only make money from the game sale, they also make a lot of money from in-game purchase since they have a lot more multiplayer games than sony.
@@divinitymode9364 Microsoft's future looks great compared to Sony.
Despite only selling half the consoles Microsoft's gaming division is more profitable that PlayStation thanks to to there infrastructure and services.
And Microsoft has been very pro consumer and getting nothing but praise the last few years for what they have been doing while Sony's new CEO has implemented a censorship policy and called console gamers "niche". This new CEO was a career accountant who primary job was to please investors and the CEO who retired is the guy who made the PS4 a success.
The Metro Exodus devs should learn from these guys on how to have proper PC graphics settings menu. This "it wasn't there in the previous games" excuse is not acceptable in 2019.
True, hopefully they improve on that with the next Metro game.
I'm pretty sure there's config files that give you much more granular control, but yeah, much more convenient in game. Personally I never really had the need to turn down a specific setting in metro games because the "presets" handled that perfectly, so it's not an issue for me.
@@nightraven2975 they have been keeping similar graphical setting tweaking from first metro...
There must be a reason for that. I wouldn't call those guys lazy.
It is for the sheeple...
I’m not that interested in the game, but any dev that spends time optimizing their PC version has my respect.
if your a sony baby or pc fanny.. this game should interest you,.
@@caknelson2254How about not attacking someone who's just pointing out that it's a good port.
Gears 5 is an amazing game and I love that I can play it on my PC. I really appreciate all of the options included on the PC version. The Coalition did a fantastic job and I tip my hat to them.
Stahl Seuche go on a website called canmypcrunit and it will analyze your system and tell you if you can or cant and what you need to run it on certain options
@@bickle8931 sounds like a bad idea to me
@@bickle8931 thats a pretty whack site. Its not greatly accurate either, some older hardware if tuned right can run the game, even if its not "recommended"
Something that some people forget is to congratulate Microsoft, they changed their vision in favor of players, they moved the Xbox brand to be a division with practically unlimited capital to invest and that's why we can enjoy this masterpiece on PC.
@@bickle8931 I'm confused by your comment. I was saying the games great and glad I can play Gears on PC and appreciate all of the options they give me to tweak it to my preference... I never mentioned anything on if my PC could handle it or not.
Every game should give you an image of the visual changes!
Wildlands does that.
Im fact, it offers much of what is here. Breakpoint most certainly include it as well
Nice likes
Microsoft has hit it out of the park with Gears 5. Amazing game and a tech masterpiece.
The Coalition did
@Klumsy Kameleon The same happens with PS fans. Uncharted 4: Sony knocked it out of the park.
@Klumsy Kameleon well I mean kind off. Most publishers *EA* would release the game half assed and price it 60 bucks for a unfinished piece of shit. Always great to praise the publishers that deliver that way they know what we want
@Klumsy Kameleon the coalition was literally scraped together with Microsoft engineers, devs and hired outsiders. They're just as internal as 343.
@Klumsy Kameleon a lot of the devs at coalition have been at Microsoft for years. You can literally call them Microsoft.
Alex sounds like a kid in a candy store, I don't think I've heard him sound so giddy talking about graphics options before.
Its really important because nowadays most people are just about resolution and framerate lol which honestly they dont care about the other stuff
I just installed this with the Xbox Game Pass I got with my Ryzen 5 3600. For $0 I can't complain. I'll probably buy it once my Game Pass sub expires.
Can get 2 months of Xbox Ultimate for 2$ right now if you guys want to check Gears out. Enough time to also play The Outer Worlds which you'll have almost 3 weeks to plaay before the 2 months is up.
@@TheColemancreek Actually its 3 months, you get a free month
Are you able to play the game? I have the pc game pass but it's not letting me start the game. I'll have to wait until next week.
@@ibrohiem Thats odd, im downloading it on my xbox right now, I honestly don't know whats going on
@Klumsy Kameleon When I bought my 3900x it came with xbox pass for pc for three months. I thought it included the xbox console pass too, but it's only the pc. I pre installed the game early. I thought I was supposed to get to play it early like everyone else. The sucker is 60 gigs I don't feel like re downloading it.
Every PC game needs resolution scaling. It’s a no-brainer atm.
Not need... I don't have any use for it. But having the options is fine.
Yeah totally, especially with RTX and 4k targets, which are insanely demanding. Variable resolution is super useful.
@@hkoizumi3134 Yes, need. You do have a use for it since your PC can't run this and other modern games maxed out at native 4k 60 FPS without it, as demonstrated here showing that not even a 2080 Ti can do it. SLI is dead on DX 12 titles as well, so that doesn't help no matter how much money you throw at it. Never mind that you're a single person, so that's a pretty self-centered/anecdotal argument.
@@sugonmaballs Ironic how Gears 4 is Dx12 and has THE BEST use of Mgpu (or Sli) of any game ive ever played on my PCs. 99% use on both cards and is way better than most older Sli titles.
But yes Sli and mgpu is getting rarer and rarer thx to lazy devs which is a shame because 4k 60fps is a minumun for any more serious/enthusiast spending pc gamer today.
@@tomwebb7091 Not ironic since it's pretty much the only exception to the rule. SLI and Crossfire were mostly garbage from the start anyways, since rarely did a game scale more than 50% with both cards and also it would introduce a lot of issues like stuttering (like you see here with DRS enabled except worse and more consistent) or other performance/graphical issues a lot of times. I ran SLI for a few generations before I got tired of the constant issues and realized it was much more troublesome than it's worth considering you're not getting anywhere near twice the performance while still having performance and stability compromises on top of it.
My i5 + 8GB DDR4 + GTX 1060 6GB laptop runs Gears 5 at high graphic setting, 60 FPS v-sync. Only minor frame drops at certain scenes. Amazing graphics and optimization! Great work Coalition!
Totally agree. In my opinion, a good port should also include if it runs well on mainstream setups. We don’t all have the money to spend on high end PCs and I like to reward good optimisation and a solid performance. Fortunately, the devs have done a great job with Gears 5
@@modestyblaise4167 As long as you have at least a i5 and RX 570 you can get 60 fps with high settings. I have an r5 1600 3.8 16 gb ddr 3200 and gtx 980 ti and get a locked 80 on maxed settings except certain cut scenes where the FOV changes. The game scales well cores/threads. Honestly I've played all the Gears games including Judgment and this is one of the best (if not the best). Gears 4 was a bit disappointing but they managed to salvage the cast and inject more dynamism into them and the result is amazing.
my advice is to turn off v-sync it causes input lag so it will ruin your experience playing the game .
For real I have i5 + 24gb ddr4 + amd 580 and I was seeing up to 120 fps!! It looks mindblowing
with an undervolt, repaste, gpu cooling pad and custom gpu voltage curve, my i7 7700hq, 32gb ddr4 (dual channel really helps) and gtx 1060 6gb running at around 1780mhz im getting 75-100 fps on high/ultra settings. You sure can get a lot out of properly optimizing a system
Looks like The Coalition wasn't joking when they said this game was being built from the ground up for PC.
the settings menu reminds me of Forza Horizon 4's, even the benchmark and the graphs too
It's been there in Gears 4 as well
Probably shared some know how. Both are MS Game Studios.
Huge difference, though, since Forza is owned by Microsoft and Gears is owned by Microsoft.
@Klumsy Kameleon how does horizon use the sea wave Tech? Cause I don't feel horizons sea looks even remotely as real as sea of thieves' sea waves, but maybe they just ruined it down massively.

Looks incredible. The coalition seem to have mastered UE4 unlike anyone else
Me and a friend have been grinding out this game on pc and we we’ve been gawking at it the whole time. It almost makes me mad that every game doesn’t look this amazing with such great frame rate.
When the df crew is gushing over just the system settings of the game, then you know the devs hit it outta the park!
Whose df, will never know gone to chronos opengl library for a understanding.
FYI to all new gears players Go to extras on the main title screen and there's a recap video of the previous trilogy, plus when you start a new game they have a recap of what happened in 4
Best Accessibility too, I might add.
Unbelievable work from The Coalition, Microsoft finally has a Sony Level Studio TOP TIER.
Playground & 343 are next.
Well playground already sony level.
343 ehhh halo infinite is their chance
On PC, not their cheap toy.
Don't forget The Initiative
Lmao, playground is already one of the highest rated Studios in the world...
Using an engine they did not even made, sony devs mostly use their own engines.
22:54 I don't even think it's a "PC port", I think that's the version they wanted to make, like you said and Xbox One versions are the ports actually.
Especially with a new Xbox next holiday, particularly in this case, very likely.
I think Xbox and PC is not differ by much, that is why the game have great optimisation for both. Think about it, both use x86_64 arch, run on top of NT kernel, and use DirectX12 as the API. It is almost the same platform, the different is that in PC it have much more settings to accommodate more hardware combinations.
@@UltimateAlgorithm and this is a God sent for the latest Xbox and PS generations. So many console exclusive series start finding their way onto the PC. It's a great time to be a PC gamer.
No Xbox2x is the version that it was built for from the ground up, pc was just lucky to have been apart of the developers process pipeline. Because if your statement was true Microsoft would not be making any money simply looking at pc as the benchmark for only the community, rather for their entire invisionary future for Xbox.
@@chevlonmacguinstudios They (the coalition) said that gears 5 was built from the start with the pc as the lead platform.
Its's Brillaint....£70 well spent. And looks stunning in 4k HDR Ultra Settings.
"administrator approval games" won't install. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is pissing me off.
it cost $18 for the standard ver and $24 for the ultimate edition here. it's so cheap i just buy it without even expecting anything. but damn it's good
No game is worth £70.
Yeah I got it on game pass ultimate which I got over 2 years of for £1
70? Here the game is 40€.
3:13 - Okay. It is now a crime for every PC game going forward to not have this setting. If you don't include this in your game, you go to prison.
Hope your president next year, your country needs it.
I have an ancient 2500k and 970. I can play this in 60 fps when everything on high on 1080. Truly stunning.
Strangely in Gears 5 the Bloom setting on PC seems to be rather CPU heavy... Despite claiming to have no CPU impact since it's a post-processing effect.
I am using an I7 3770k @4.4GHz, 2400MHz Dual-channel memory and a 1080 Ti. Turning off bloom gives me a 10-15% boost in fps due to an increase in GPU usage.
(Turning off Bloom also disables Lens Flare). I know a lot of people hate these effects anyway, so it's a pretty nice boost in fps if you are CPU bound. Try it out on the Benchmark tool if you have an older CPU.
Are you running at 4K? I’ll probably be running it at 1440p on my 1080ti
If I remember gears 4 had the same thing with bloom

Yeah it's an awesome game. Played at 1080p Ultra settings and 1440p High settings just to test and not a single frame drop literally. For a game not to drop frames on Ultra settings is so fucking impressive given how ultra settings are usually ''Unoptimised'' Gears 5 devs ought to be extremely proud. Possibly the best performing game i've ever played. I am usually the worlds biggest sceptic and the first to shit talk but Gears of War 5 definitely has my seal of approval.
What are your PC specs?

Finally. Then again, remember, Windows is Microsoft's OS. Microsoft should set the standard for apps and games in their own OS. They know the OS and DirectX better than anyone because they built it.
NazmusLabs and yet it will sell best on steam and not their app. Think about it. :)
@@theravenflow You probably didn't understand my comment. The software is IDENTICAL for both steam and Microsoft store, and I was referring to the first party Windows SOFTWARE not storefront. So, it doesn't matter if it's on Steam, MS Store, or on a blure ray disk if the software is the same. It is still Microsoft's 1st party software on their own OS.

@@glorious240fps6 It actually is available on Steam.
One thing they don’t mention is how good the HDR is. It’s probably the best use of it I’ve seen in a game. Once scene at the start when you’re flying over a city in a chopper with sunlight beaming in, knocked my absolute socks off!
They go over this a lot in there other video.. basically saying it's the best they have seen
Insane graphics, runs so so smoothly at 4K on my 2080 eGPU! Fantastic work.
Cant wait to watch this! DF does the best video game tech videos by far. Plus gears 5 is amazing tech showcase so this will be great
Damm, this looks insane. Microsoft and its studios are really serious about putting Xbox on top again. Even the weakest 1.3 Tflops Xbox One (the one i have) showed improvements comparing GOW 5 vs 4 and that speak for themselves. Also have it in PC installed but because i dont have much time to play im playing on console, that's i think that Xbox console and PC can easily co-exist...even the base console.
And this is all without the GamesReady drivers being out yet. Very happy with the PC port and my only complaints outside of Servers are very nitpicky
Hey Alex, is there going to be a Control DLSS video? I'm really curious to see your analysis.
The optimization in this game is amazing. I'm able to run this at high settings at 1080p and get a decently steady 60fps. This game was definitely my GOTY last year.
unbelievable..i thought i was weird, playing games for the technology. 😅 i dont feel alone anymore
Game console using same hardware with PC since PS4 and Xbox One. This is the biggest gift for PC gamers. Since then PC ports working better than original Console games :) And I'm really happy with that. Thanks for video. (ESL Guy here)
I'd never believe I, a Sony fanboy, would say that: Thank you Microsoft for the port and steam release!
I will support this with a day 1 buy
@Zack Smith Lol are you high? Only thing money will buy in this game are cosmetics or minor time saving cards for Horde mode. I hate micro's but Gears 5 doesnt shove them in your face or make you feel like you have to.
This will be my first Gears. I really can't wait to see how well it runs on my PC. Great analysis as always!
It’s actually a testament of how good the X is, considering the whole machine costs less than one gfx card capable of turning out a decent performance on pc
The Xbox One X has a GPU equivalent to the $125 GTX 1060 6GB. What are you on about.
@@potatotablet727 You’re right if you don’t count in the optimization of console hard- and software. But that makes a mighty difference
@@touwer I've seen a GTX 1060 6GB outperform an Xbox One X so optimisation is out of the question.
Basically what I'm saying is, shush. You don't know anything about PC gaming so stop spouting nonsense.
I know this was a year ago, and the Xbox Series X/S are out now. These machines are very powerful for their price point and I'm willing to praise them.
@@potatotablet727 well, I don’t know from which crystal ball you got that info, but it ain’t working
Just for reference. I have a Ryzen 1600x overclocked to 4ghz, 16gb of Ram at 3000mhz, and a Zotac Rtx 2060 overclocked to about 2000mhz and a 600 MHz overclocked on the memeory. I can run 1080p 60fps @insane settings. I only get a few drops here and there when overlooking massive vistas. But during combat I haven’t seen a single drop yet and I can hold a solid 60 in the benchmark.
I am happy for the Xbox One X version, especially considering that here in Canada a 2080TI costs the same as two Scorpio consoles. Nevertheless, I am happy to see high end PC cards utilized. I am actually impressed how well it looks and runs on Xbox One X with the Jaguar cpu that has plagued all consoles this generation.

@@Battleneter I said technically, as in the game's technical suite. Learn to read.
@@HeloisGevit Its not technically the best either, learn to comprehend.
It is one of the most optimized games I've ever experienced. I get average 100 - 110 fps on this with max settings at 1440p and most games especially a lot of recent PC ports have just been terrible with the way they run when they should run better than Gears 5 with them looking worse.
This is interesting, as what you're actually seeing is what Scarlet can do. They would have used the Scarlet dev-kits to gauge the options here for PC.
I played this game for the first time today and I was really digging it. I wish I would've tried this series out sooner, but I guess better late than never.
Is it really fair to call it a port if its developed & released simultaneously? (and on an engine already designed for PC)
Indeed. It's not a port and I find it mildly amusing that such a hardcore PC gamer like Alex is getting it wrong.
Hmm, I think that since the game is developed with the limitation that is has to work properly on xbox one (geometry not too high, size of the world not too insane, etc.) that PC is the secondary platform, and its version could be thought of as a port.
Yep, more like XBOX version is the real port here 😆
Keep in mind MS is now treating XBox like a PC allowing games to be scaled with differnt models. By doing this they can develop higher graphics for the PC and future Xboxs and scale down for current xbox console.
Built a coumputer in 2019 with a 5700xt and RYZEN 3600X. This GAME and even GEARS 4 was so well optimized and had so many features and options it really helped as a benchmark tool and a fun game. Watching this video I think I will install GEARS 5 again.
Yes. This is one of the best examples of a PC port if not THE BEST. I am simply amazed by the options, the optimization and performance given the way the game looks which is so damn beautiful
I played Gears 5 on the Xbox One X and liked it. Then I played it again on my gaming PC about a year later. Granted, at 1080p but with mostly its highest settings. And I love how the cutscenes are at a higher frame rate than the 30fps cutscenes on Xbox One. The game does look great.
That said.... I've recently got an error code. GW502 or whatever it's called and it seemed to happen with Nvidia graphics cards. It's updated (I'm using GeForce Experience)
Everything on Inanse for me. Finally something to test my new rig.
I have to agree. I was extremely surprised by the amount of customizations and how well the game ran and looked. Kudos Coalition.
runs like a dream on my RX 580 at 2560 x 1080, such an amazing port :)
i7-7700hq, 16gb RAM, GTX 1070. 60fps locked at 1080p with the vast majority of settings on Ultra, with only some very minor dips that I don't think had anything to do with taxing my hardware. I think I could even go over 60, but that's my laptop display's refresh rate soooo
Runs like a dream, looks awesome. Real happy with the PC port job.
I have a feeling, that the guys at The Coalition know the Unreal Engine better than Epic Games :D
Some of the epic gears devs are at coalition lol
@@Eyeyamgod Heyy, didn't know that! Thanks.
@@dilirity Yeah. The Coalition Studio head, Rod Ferguson worked on Gears 1-3 at Epic Games.
I love discovering these older DF videos from the time when I didn't know that DF existed. I just let them play them on the background while I work. Thanks for that, DF! 😁
Holy crap... the range of settings and it even has a CPU/GPU/VRAM usage. Btw the game looks incredible.
Regarding Unreal Engine 4 and dynamic resolution scaling... DRS isn't officially supported on PC which, the Epic devs say, is due to the difficulty of getting _accurate_ GPU frametimes. Any UE4 DRS on PC is to some extent a custom implementation. In my own UE4 project, I had something similar to what Gears 5 is doing where every X frames it bumps up the scaling and tests for a frame drop, but I decided against it due to the periodic stuttering.
Gears 4 was so bland and boring to me but technically it was super well made and I respected all the effort they gave for PC players so I'm excited to try 5. They seemed to have stepped up the campaign and this is the first AAA pretty graphics game I've been this excited to play in a while.
so when you feel the walls are closing in, remember to adjust cone step mapping in your life settings.
The Coalition is doing what 343i has not been able to do! Gears 5 is amazing!
Lets Wait for halo 6 right (;
Halo Infinite looks great but we'll have to see how they're new SlipSpace Engine works out.
Halo 5 is 4K 60fps on Xbox One X and is a beautiful game too (And came out 4 years ago).
@@BlindTrustProject yeah but it's not good...
Good results from Turn10, FlightSim (2020) and The Coalition.
So I think the stutter in dynamic resolution mode, is probably because once the game drops resolution because frames were to long to render, it needs to know if it is safe to go back to higher resolution and still maintain performance. So it probes it using a one high res frame, and it finds out it is still slow. During change of resolution, there is some big state changes in the rendered and driver, and it shows as TWO extra stutters, because we need to change state of pipeline both when going up and back down. I think the trick would be to do more precise estimation of GPU load based on a number of pixels, and do increases in resolution in smaller increments, and use time frame info to figure out pretty precisely what should be the resolution with a target framerate (assuming the camera position and things happening on screen are not going to you know change to completely new view, which could happen of course, but some extra information, like exponential weighted average of last 10 or 20 frames, could also help). Unless it is some driver related issue when changing state, it should be solvable by a bit more careful and smart resolution changes.
This is what happen if dev don't use Intel compiler, hair work, game work, RTX or any of similar BS. MS made this with DX12 in mind and it runs great from console to PC. This is not a port, it's just happened that Windows and current MS console use DX 12
"Happened"
Don't underestimate Microsoft.
At this rate, we should just call it Direct X exclusive. Since both PC and Xbox shares games.
Best game Microsoft released in years, I hope it's a start in the right direction.
Great looking game. Especially the characters. X1X looks pretty good... Differences, yes, but not night and day...
I initially played this on Xbox one X on a 65 inch 4k tv and was quite happy with the graphics. Then I got a 49 inch Super Ultrawide monitor and put the game on my PC and holy moly, total game changer because 32:9 is supported well!! The PC port of Gears 5 is how I wish every pc game will release in the future.
2013 -> CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?
2019 -> CAN IT RUN GEARS 5 ?
:))) then new trend
Gears 5 has DRS though.
My eight year old machine performs better in Gears 5 than Crysis. Optimizations ftw
Hehe, I laughed so hard at Alex's "Oh noooo" about showing a single frame for 32 instead of 16 ms. :D Keep it up guys, I love it! These kind of videos have definitely improved PC (and console) gaming over the years!
I tried Gears 5 on PC thanks to Game Pass Ultimate. I was blown away! Solid 4K60, HDR, and Dolby Atmos. The facial animations, lighting, and ultra detailed texture made for a eye watering presentation.
So impressed that although I have access to Gears5, I am going to purchase it on Steam. This games deserves to be in my Steam Library!
I know lots of people said it already but I'm going to write it anyway. This is an example of how a PC game's settings should be like and every game company out there should take a lesson from this. It shows how seriously the devs of Gears 5 take PC gaming.
This shows the true power of PC Gaming, when Devs show care, you can do so much with a PC game
It scales really well. Runs great on my modest laptop. i5 8300, 4gb 1050.
Really enjoying the PC focused content DF. Keep it up guys!
Great video thanks for listing the desired settings to keep the game at 60fps. I'll be playing the PC version soon coop with my wife using a geForce 1080 TI and geForce 1070 GTX hoping we can run at locked 60fps 1200p with the ultra texture pack installed.
this game is technically great. playing at 110% 4k ultra everything 60fps....gameplay.....55fps benchmark....
Gears 5 on PC was a massive technical step up from Gears of War 4. I had no problems running both games maxxed out at 1080p, but Gears 4 encountered severe stuttering and juddering when entering new areas typical of many Unreal Engine 4 games despite otherwise hitting a solid 60fps even in heavy firefights once assets are loaded. It also had a few crashes, including one that happened every time after beating the Swarmak unless I skipped the cutscene.
Gears 5 had none of these stutters and crashes. While there's a few tiny dips here and there, it's overall a much smoother experience. I did encounter scripting bugs on several occasions that required reloading a checkpoint where the AI character just goes braindead when they're supposed to do something scripted, like plant a beacon or fix something. However, there's one bad bug where weapons you stowed on your skiff will disappear if you die and reloaded a checkpoint. Since dying in this game is pretty much a given, you have to carry your 2 preferred relic weapons all the time or lose them for good.
I finished gears 5 second time after 5 years because i never played gears 1 and 4 which i did and it was great experience then playing gears 5 is just wow😊also gonna play hivebusters dlc for the first time.
The best thing is that this is on steam too. Love you Microsoft.
Microsoft is doing more for PC gaming than Epic.
After 3 years and bad dx12 ports are still the norm...I really wish we had more PC focused devs to set a new industry standard.
Still, props to Microsoft. Definetely considering getting Gears 5 if it's ever on sale to check it out, especially for HDR.
Forza Horizon 4 is still the most dropping game on my PC, and it just works like a beauty. Cheap to run while looking amazing, incredible HDR and it's just a super fun and solid game.
The only thing I heavily dislike about their games is how the Mjcrosoft Store hides game files. Kind of pointless to me
Suppose this is a sneak peak of what to expect from Halo Infinite.
Of course, but they share the same paymaster demanding a certain standard.
@@colbyboucher6391 I think he means as far as port quality. Microsoft's Phil Spencer has made it a point that they're going to be ensuring quality PC releases.
Yeah not really as two completely different engines and they are being built for different hardware.
I think MS descion to treat the XBox like a PC going forward helps as well, that is games being scaled ip/down to work on a range of machines. This allows Xbox games to be developed with higher graphics/performance in mind and not limited to whatever the current console is.
This game is fantastic, I'm completely blown away by it in every respect. The awe of it reminds me of Gear 1, where I was so amazed with everything in the game.
Anyway, I've been playing on both my XBO-X (Gears 5 LE console, and it's gorgeous), and on my PC with a 3900X and a RX 5700XT. I find the HDR seems better on the X which lends to some aspects of the game just being more impressive, that said their's no denying the PC's crisp visuals. I'm playing with both on my 32" Samsung Freesync 2, HDR600, 144hz gaming monitor, my PC is on Ultra across the board and I'm getting between 70 - 130 fps, it moves around in that range and I spend a lot of the time in the 105'ish range (Benchmarks at 77fps). I don't notice any frametime issues on the XBO-X due to the Freesync so it feels really smooth all the time, that said I can definitely tell when I'm on PC, that near doubling of fps is definitely noticeable.
Finally a true AAA game that is exactly what I expect to see more of in the future of GP and GP Ultimate. We're starting to see the pay off for all the investments they've made in the last few years and all I can say is we all have a lot to look forward too. Microsoft is proving they're serious about gaming again.
It is not a pc port, it is a pc game ported to xbox. No disrespect intended. Congratz to Coalition games.
"No disrespect "? You clearly meant all of it the game was built for the X like all Microsoft exclusives that's why there's never a problem with X versions and we don't need videos like these.
@@zoedanforth7932 Actually the coalition said that the pc was the main platform. The xbox version was the port this time around. Go back and read up some.
As far as I am concerned, the game still looks absolutely amazing on the X1X especially considering the price point of the 1X. It even looks really good one the Original Xbox One!!
Are you going to analyze the PC port of Spyro Reignited Trilogy as well?
My monster pc is ryzen 7 1700 gtx 970 g1 gaming 16 gb ddr4 3200mhzcl15 gs kill rip jaws dellp2416d 24'' 2560x1440 60 hz ips. Howw many fps will it run at max settings 1440p? gears 4 runs 55 fps average max settings 1440p. This? spyro runs 60 fps max settings 1440p i have uploaded a video of it, see it on my chanel iam currently playing spyro 1.

What amazed me the most about the PC version is how incredible clean the visuals are. No aliasing, no blurred textures, no tearing, and this with a silky smooth 60fps at insane setting (i7 6700K, 32GB Ram, 1080ti @2560x1600 res)
I've never seen a PC game this pretty, with an image quality this good, whilst able to keep the framerate that smooth. Hugely impressive.
It has PC split-screen coop, that's all I need to know... insta-buy!
Dont know if I will ever use it, but I am all about the option to have it for sure.
still using a 970sc and this game runs flawless at max, even with the ultra Texture pack on.... much respect for the devs for taking the time and making it a great pc port.
You should get the Steam version and put them against each other just to see what the differences are and how it runs
14:45 damn, that dude's eyebrows are plucked to perfection
Gears 4 and 5 are some of the best pc ports. I mean, i remember having a decent rig when i played gears 4, but the game managed to run very well at above par graphics settings at a consistent 60fps. Even forza horizon 3 and 4 are great
Very well optimized! Seriously every game needs to be this well optimized. 9/10.
This game just became my go-to for rig benchmark and actually knowing what some shady graphical settings do
I wish we could see a comparison between the base Xbox One S being played at 1080p and the PC version at Insane settings at 4K. I know it would look better, but I'd still like to see it.
Woahhh this game looks beautiful on PC. I was already blown away by my One X version. TC have truly exceeded all expectations (in 2.5 years!). Great job looking into this game and doing the work to figure out those and explaining them too. Appreciate all the hard work guys :D
Really enjoy these in depth analysis videos between Alex and John! really informative and just makes for a good video all around! Good work guys!
I do wonder how much more detail would Xbox One X detail be if they made it 4K 30fps
High detail also native 4k easily
Perhaps not a lot I dont think, it's already super optimised, they've put a lot of other devs to shame with a game as open and gorgeous as Gears 5 running at close to 4k 60fps...Its already that much better looking than Gears 4 add twice the resolution/fps, that's just down to them stretching the engine to the limit for the X. If the One and the X are practically identical aside form resolution and frame rate, the best wed see is just native res...But thats just my thoughts. Only the Coalition know
@@IFibreOpticI Coming off of great looking game like Forza Horizon 4 on Xbox One X this is kinda a let down. The Coalition could've gave people the option of Dynamic Resolution @60 or Native 4K @30fps with higher graphics.
@@GameMasterpg Like I said. I dont think they could push texture detail or effects that much further, the CPU is the bottleneck predominantly, so to see it run at 60fps at all is an achievement. This means the graphics in gears 5 in console One/X likely aren't very CPU dependent, therefore dropping the FPS wouldn't see much benefit visually, that was my only point :) I'm nothing of an expert though! But the fact there isn't an option like there was in Gears 4, implies that a 4k native option would be pointless. Rise of the tomb raider had it where a 4k native option or high resolution high fidelity mode, or 1080p 60 mode was available....but the Higher fidelity high res mode was superior...gears 5 essentially combines all 3 of these so choosing would be asinine, as it's close to 4k anyway, very stable 60fps most of the time, and the graphics arent too dissimilar to PC max anyway!
@@IFibreOpticI I'm not buying that excuse! Have u seen Forza Horizon 4 or Metro Exodus running @ 4K 30fps on Xbox One X they looked gorgeous. So no I'm not buying they couldn't push more Graphics out of Xbox One X with a 4K 30fps mode.
I hope this game gets all the love it deserves, its truly a phenomenal game
