Gears of War: Ultimate Edition PC Performance Review

4K Screenshot Graphical Comparison

In this third collection of screenshots we can see yet again that the biggest difference between all of the graphical settings is the use of higher resolution textures at higher settings, with all other changes in graphical detail being pretty hard to notice. 

At the lowest setting we can see that the words on the prison flag “I am responsible for my own actions” move from a mere blur to some very detailed writing. The only other major change in the games graphics comes when we go to the games High preset where Ambient Occlusion is added to the scene. 

In this outdoor scene we find a new graphical change when moving up the settings alongside the texture changes and the addition of ambient occlusion at high settings. This time we can see that when moving from Low to Medium settings that the soldiers gain shadows, a very easy to miss detail that does make the scene look much better upon close inspection.
