Gears of War Reloaded has received mixed reception from the community. A heavily modified version of Unreal Engine 3 makes the game run smoothly on modern hardware. For its age, the new hardware, such as the Blackwell GPU architecture, has the horsepower to brute-force frame rates. Briefly stated, the game faces several fundamental issues, including object smearing, ghosting, artifacts, and frame pacing.

Below are the settings specifically tuned for the RTX 50 series. These efficiently utilize the GPU and do not max out everything.

Note: The game supports DLSS 3.5, and you can update it to DLSS 4 using the Global Override in the Nvidia app or DLSS Swapper.. The Transformer model within the DLSS 4 model may reduce FPS numbers, but the image output quality will be much superior. We strongly recommend sticking with DLAA and avoiding upscaling altogether.

The RTX 5050, 5060, 5060 Ti, 8, and 16GB models can utilize these settings; the only difference will be the frame rate. Higher-tier cards will be greeted with more FPS. As for VRAM, thanks to some optimizations, 8GB is more than enough here.
