[FPS Benchmarks] Gears 5 on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3080 (85W) – the 130W GPU is 13% faster on Ultra Quality
Just like Gears Of War 4, Gears 5 uses Unreal Engine 4 and the game looks good. The decent optimization is another strong side of this title – even some low-end dGPUs like the GeForce MX250 or MX350 have no problem running this game at least on Low settings.
The Ultra quality is a bit heavier than the other three presets so let’s see how many frames per second the GeForce RTX 3080 (130W) and RTX 3080 (85W) can show.
