Expected FPS in Gears of War: E-Day
Estimate ±30%Our model's figures from the requirements and each card's benchmark score, not measurements: native resolution, no upscaling, frame generation or ray tracing. A typical estimate lands within ±30% of the measured result. How the estimate works.
| GPU | 1080p Medium | 1080p High | 1440p High |
|---|---|---|---|
| GTX 1650 | ≈31 FPS 22–40 | ≈24 FPS 17–31 | ≈18 FPS 13–23 |
| GTX 1660 Super | ≈45 FPS 31–59 | ≈36 FPS 25–47 | ≈26 FPS 18–34 |
| RTX 2060 | ≈49 FPS 34–64 | ≈39 FPS 27–51 | ≈28 FPS 20–36 |
| RX 6600 | ≈51 FPS 36–66 | ≈41 FPS 29–53 | ≈30 FPS 21–39 |
| Arc B580 | ≈53 FPS 37–69 | ≈43 FPS 30–56 | ≈31 FPS 22–40 |
| RX 7600 | ≈57 FPS 40–74 | ≈45 FPS 31–59 | ≈33 FPS 23–43 |
| RTX 3060 | ≈59 FPS 41–77 | ≈47 FPS 33–61 | ≈34 FPS 24–44 |
| RTX 4060 | ≈73 FPS 51–95 | ≈59 FPS 41–77 | ≈42 FPS 29–55 |
| RTX 5060 | ≈81 FPS 57–105 | ≈65 FPS 46–85 | ≈47 FPS 33–61 |
| RTX 4070 | ≈120 FPS 84–156 | ≈96 FPS 67–125 | ≈69 FPS 48–90 |
| RX 9070 XT | ≈161 FPS 113–209 | ≈129 FPS 90–168 | ≈93 FPS 65–121 |
| RTX 5070 Ti | ≈161 FPS 113–209 | ≈129 FPS 90–168 | ≈93 FPS 65–121 |
For 60 FPS at 1080p High, our estimate starts at the RTX 5060 (about 65 FPS). The slowest card in the table, the GTX 1650, is estimated at about 38 FPS on 1080p Low. At 1440p High the 60 FPS line moves up to the RTX 4070 (about 69 FPS).
Card falls short?
The first current cards in this table that our model puts at 60 FPS or more at 1080p High (estimate ±30%), lowest first.
Laptops and integrated graphics
Estimate ±30%On a gaming laptop with an RTX 4060 Laptop GPU we estimate about 61 FPS at 1080p Medium and 49 FPS at High; the cheaper RTX 4050 Laptop GPU lands near 39 FPS at High. Without a graphics card, the integrated Radeon 780M found in many AMD laptops and handheld PCs is estimated at about 34 FPS on 1080p Low: playable on low settings, not much more. It sits below the minimum card's score (G3D Mark 6,866).
