Alright....... This is Gears of War: E-Day using Hardware Unboxed's Optimized Settings with DLSS 4.5 Performance at 1440p on my RTX 4060 & Ryzen 7 5700x setup. This is basically the first boot of the game! Not much to comment here, the footage speaks for itself...

1440p on a 4060 why?

That's not the issue here believe me

@nicz_90 It literally is. You cannot expect low tier card to run at 1440p. Thats literally the whole reason.

@GamingOptimiz @nicz_90 DLSS performance is running that game at under 720p. It's not the issue here at all, unless you're arguing a 4060 can't handle 720p gaming.

@GamingOptimiz @nicz_90 Is not about rendering the game at said resolution FFS, its about the milliseconds it take for the tensor cores to upscale the game, and those cores on a low tier GPU are not poweful enoug to upscale at a high resolution like 1440p, which is literally twice the pixels. 🤡

@GamingOptimiz @nicz_90 The upscale cost is not that much just because it's a 4060. That GPU is only one generation old.

@GamingOptimiz @nicz_90 ITS A LOW TIER GPU RENDERING THE LATEST UNREAL 5 ENGINE. You people are delisionals.

@lamarcke_ @nicz_90 check my latest post please and stop spreading misinformation

Here is why it's shader compilation stuttering!

RTX 4060 on 1440 Even nvidia itself would not recommend this 2 years ago when this graphics card was released

It's 1440p DLSS PERFORMANCE!

Oh ... That is serious I will wait then utill they fix it

It's an earthquake at this point

Actively refusing to use DLSS and frame gen in 2026 with a card capable of doing so should honestly be cause to have your system confiscated from you lol. Not using these settings isn’t some “gotcha” decision, you look like a fucking moron.

What? Are you kidding me😂😂😂 When I use DLSS FG people complain that I am using FG. Here you are calling me names, because you are mad for no reason at all.

Pso stutters? Does SCSKiller help?

guess what I am testing right now!

Holy frametime graph

Im using frame gen x2 plus Nvidia reflex + boost and get 140 plus fps with 37ms input 1440p all high settings

DLSS Performance (native 720p) Damn, and it’s not a GPU issue; the card is twiddling its thumbs at 78% usage, so there’s no GPU bottleneck (maybe on the CPU side, but that’s a stretch), and it’s not the VRAM either—it’s only using 6.8 GB out of 8. And man, the game looks dull.

You can get Gears of War: E-Day for cheaper at Eneba using my affiliate link below! You also help me get more games to test!

That frametime is spiking like CRAZY lol.

It's a 4060 bro. You need to get a real card if you want to play new AAA games with good graphics.

5700x you're going to need frame gen that's a complete bottleneck

720p, damn… GG

i'm sorry but this could very easily be just a RAM issue

It's not a RAM issue

This is my first run, I don't feel the same. The only one diff is my graphics card, its a old rdna2 running with unoficial fsr4.1 balanced, hub settings. Other parts are near the same, 16gb ddr4, nvme3 as storage. I'm using gamepass version, not steam.

1080p some tweak, ultra here, low here 7800x3d and 7800xt 110fps

Lmao, vram or UE5 things. Thats horrendous 🤣🤣 400m

ARK: Survival Evolved seems to be getting some competition!

4060 is a low end gpu whether u like it or not, i played on 1440p fsr balanced with high ray tracing modes and ultra basic settings and got 60-70fps on my ryzen 7 7700x and 6800xt pc. the optimization isn't bad. 4060 isn't a 1440p card btw.

Una 4060 no está enfocada más en 1080p al estar limitada en 8gb ?

I played on quality mode last night on series X game looks amazing played for about 1.5-2 hrs

Demanding game

It certainly is, that GPU usage drop and the stuttering is not something that should be normal though...

Does it also have issues with shader stutter? And no disrespect to HU, but claiming those settings are optimized is really something else, lol. Maybe they're optimized settings for high-end systems if you'd prefer not to use the cinematic equivalent settings.

Lol 40 fps in a cutscene... Off no thanks

The problem itself is the game logic, i don't know why the hell you make the game render Models and Items from 1000 clicks away (and i know it since you can test it in Horde, when anyone is using the Spot drone) This is kind of Monster Hunter Wilds level of unoptimized mess.

i mean seriously, 1440p gaming with dlss (and maybe even raytracing?) on 16gb of ram? man

Same rig i think and he playing at dlss quality with medium and avg 60 fps try lowering the settings and forget HUB optimized , the game look good even on lower presets just make sure textures are higher

Happened to me too. With a 5070

Try to set DLSS to dynamic. Same for FG. Works like a charm

What software are you using to display the info on the left panel? Love the layout.

I am playing around 120 fps on ludicrious settings, 1440p with fsr 4 is set quality with my rx 9070 xt on linux. Your card is the only trash here bro lol

Holy f, that frametime graph is an 8 on the Richter scale.
