The minimum PC specification for Gears of War: E-Day calls for 12 GB RAM, 115 GB of SSD space, and a graphics card with hardware ray tracing. Compare your computer with the three official tiers below; a graphics card without dedicated hardware ray-tracing support is not supported.
Compare your PC with the published tiers
The table combines Xbox's launch PC specifications with the operating systems listed on the official Steam page. The performance targets use DLSS, FSR, TSR, or XeSS; the published figures do not specify an upscaling quality setting.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graphics preset | Medium | High | Ultra |
| Performance target | 1080p, 60 FPS | 1440p, 60+ FPS | 4K, 60+ FPS |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 / RTX 2060; AMD Radeon RX 6600 / RX 9060 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 / RTX 3060 Ti; AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT / RX 9060 XT | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti; AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 2600X; Intel Core i7-6850K / i5-10400 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600; Intel Core i5-11600K | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D; Intel Core i7-14700K |
| RAM | 12 GB | 16 GB | 16 GB |
| Storage | 115 GB; SSD required | 115 GB; SSD required | 115 GB; SSD required |
| Operating system | Windows 10 64-bit, version 22H2 (19045.7291) | Windows 11 64-bit, version 25H2 or newer | Not officially confirmed yet |
The listed GPU models are the published examples for each tier. The hardware ray-tracing requirement applies across the tiers: Xbox says graphics cards without dedicated hardware ray-tracing support are not supported. Each tier lists a 115 GB SSD requirement.
Check your computer before buying
Find your processor and memory
Open your PC's system information and note the processor model and installed RAM. Compare both with the CPU and RAM rows in the table; for example, the minimum tier lists 12 GB RAM and Ryzen 5 2600X, Core i7-6850K, or Core i5-10400 processors.
Identify your graphics card
Find the exact GPU model in your system's graphics or hardware information, then compare it with the GPU examples in the tier you want to target. Also confirm that the card has dedicated hardware ray-tracing support; cards without it are not supported.
Check the drive and free space
Confirm that the game would be installed on an SSD with at least 115 GB available. The official specifications mark an SSD as required in every tier.
Choose a target tier
Match your CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage to the Minimum, Recommended, or Ultra column. The published targets are 1080p at 60 FPS on Medium for Minimum, 1440p at 60+ FPS on High for Recommended, and 4K at 60+ FPS on Ultra; all list DLSS, FSR, TSR, or XeSS.
If a component falls below a tier's listed models or capacity, the official material does not establish how that configuration will perform. Actual performance may vary with hardware, graphics settings, background tasks, and the selected super-resolution technology.
PC features listed by Xbox
The official PC specifications also name NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, AMD FSR 4, and Intel XeSS 3.0, hardware ray-traced reflections, shadows, and global illumination, a built-in benchmark with advanced PC settings, HDR, and ultrawide monitor support. These features describe the PC version; the specifications do not provide a separate minimum GPU memory figure.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The official specifications list 115 GB of storage and explicitly require an SSD.
No. Xbox states that a graphics card without dedicated hardware ray-tracing support is not supported.
The Minimum tier targets 1080p at 60 FPS on the Medium graphics preset, using DLSS, FSR, TSR, or XeSS.
