Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We tested the public release version of Gears Tactics, not a press pre-release. We also installed the latest drivers from AMD and NVIDIA, but only AMD reports game-ready support for the game at this time.

Graphics Memory Usage

Using a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which has 11 GB of VRAM, we measured the game's memory usage at the highest setting.

At lower resolution, Gears Tactics will consume around 4–5 GB VRAM, which can be challenging for cards with 3 GB or 4 GB.

For higher-end cards, the VRAM requirements are light, most cards the can drive decent FPS have 8 GB VRAM or more.

GPU Performance

FPS Analysis

In this section, we're comparing each card's performance to the average FPS measured in our graphics card reviews, which is based on a mix of 22 games and should provide a realistic average covering a wide range of APIs, engines, and genres.
