Gears of War E-Day is an uncharacteristically CPU-heavy Unreal Engine 5 game
Unlike most Unreal Engine 5 titles that are relatively light on the CPU, Gears of War E-Day places an uncharacteristically heavy burden on processor hardware. Testing with an RTX 5090 Founders Edition at 1080p using the High graphics preset revealed that the Ryzen 7 9800X3D achieved 42% higher performance than the Ryzen 5 7600X, while easily pushing top-tier chips to full utilization. The game's demanding nature remains consistent throughout the opening hours regardless of scene complexity.
