Gears 5 is a third-person shooter video game developed by The Coalition and published by Xbox Game Studios for Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and Xbox Series X. It is the fifth installment of the Gears of War series and the sequel to Gears of War 4. The ultimate edition was released on September 6, 2019, while the standard edition of the game was released worldwide on September 10, 2019. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Unreal Engine 4. We test using the Ultra preset, with Best Animation Quality (instead of Auto), VRS disabled, DX12 API.

Gears 5 is a lot tougher on the GPU than F1 2020, and at 1080p we see 85FPS on average for the RTX 3060. Despite this being an AMD-sponsored title, that makes the 3060 10% faster than the RX 5700, while it's only just behind the RX 5700 XT. Against the RTX 2060, we're looking at an extra 23% performance.

At 1440p, the RTX 3060 scales even better, as it is now 2% faster than the RX 5700 XT, but 13% ahead of the RX 5700. Performance has also improved by 25% against the RTX 2060.
