Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11GB Review

The Gears Of War 4 game’s plot is set 25 years after Gears of War 3 and focuses on JD Fenix, the son of Marcus Fenix. Gears of War is a third-person shooter game, with its core concepts being derived from Resident Evil 4‘s “over the shoulder” perspective, Kill Switch‘s cover system, and Bionic Commando‘s swinging action akin to moving between points of cover. (Wikipedia).

Gears of War 4 is launched via the Windows 10 Store, requires the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to run, and only supports the DirectX 12 API.

We test using the Ultra quality preset. Dynamic Resolution scaling was turned off and Async Compute was enabled where the GPU supported it.

Another clean-sweep at the top of the charts for GTX 1080 Ti in Gears of War 4. With GTX 1080 Ti, Titan XP performance is bettered, you can push past 100 FPS at 1440P, and 4K60 is perfectly playable. A solid offering from the GTX 1080 Ti FE card to gamers who like Gears of War 4.

GTX 1080 FE performance is beaten by 22% at 1080P (held back by CPU bottlenecking), 26% at 1440P, and 31% at 4K. If you are a 1440P gamer, the GTX 1080 Ti FE doesn't look like such good value compared to GTX 1080 FE when the price and performance are categorised. However, if you want a single-card solution to your 4K gaming needs, the GTX 1080 Ti FE gives you that and it's performance gap over alternative options (ignoring Titan XP) is significant.
