How Gears of War: E-Day runs on the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Our estimate puts the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB at about 20 fps on High at 1080p in Gears of War: E-Day, which means it runs only on reduced settings. On Low the same card manages about 37 fps, and on Ultra about 12.

The graphics card is the limit here, so lowering the resolution or the quality preset is what raises your frame rate.

For a steady 60 fps, our estimate says: 1080p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 37 fps on Low; 1440p: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 27 fps on Low; 4K: under 60 fps at every preset, best is 15 fps on Low.

Settings advice

Gears of War: E-Day lists 12 GB of RAM (recommending 16 GB) and a processor of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 class. Our estimate assumes a processor that does not limit the GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, so enter yours in the checker above if it is older than that.

The cheapest card we list that holds 60 fps on High at 1080p is an Arc B580 (launch price $249), and until then upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if Gears of War: E-Day offers it) and one resolution step down are the biggest wins.
