Is your PC ready for Gears of War: E-Day?
Gears of War E-Day demands DirectX 12 Ultimate graphics cards
The PC system requirements for Gears of War: E-Day have been released by The Coalition and Xbox Games Studios on Steam. The game launches on October 6th on PC and Xbox, with Premium Edition buyers getting 5 days of Advanced Access.
E-Day was built from the ground up for Unreal Engine 5, making the game the most graphically advanced Gears series game to date. Notably, this game’s minimum and recommended GPUs are all DirectX 12 Ultimate graphics cards, suggesting it uses the baseline features of this version of DirectX 12. This could include DirectX Raytracing, Variable Rate Shading, Mesh Shaders, and Sampler Feedback. E-Day may not run well on older non-DX12U graphics cards.
E-Day doesn’t have overly high CPU requirements. The game’s minimum CPUs are AMD’s Ryzen 5 2600X, Intel’s i7-6850K, and Intel’s i5-10400. All of these CPUs are older 6-core CPUs. The game also requires a minimum of 12GB of system memory, and a DirectX 12 Ultimate GPU with at least 6GB of GPU memory. Note that this game reuqires 130GB of storage.
This game’s recommended GPUs are Nvidia’s RTX 5060, Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti, AMD’s RX 6700 XT, AMD’s RX 9060 XT, and Intel’s ARC B580. 16GB of system memory is also recommended. SSD storage is also listed as a requirement.
