The best way to play Gears of War Reloaded is at 4K, with DLAA or Native AA. The game received mixed reception due to its technical problems, such as smearing, artifacting, LOD issues, and more. At 4K, with the settings below, most visual problems are resolved. This is because the anti-aliasing algorithm (DLAA/FSR-AA) has a larger field of play with the higher resolution, allowing it to process more temporal data and clean up the image much more efficiently.

Note: By default, the game offers DLSS 3.5 and FSR 3.1 algorithms for upscaling and anti-aliasing. For optimal results, it is recommended that users switch to DLSS 4 via the Nvidia App or DLSS Swapper, utilizing the superior DLSS 4 algorithm. AMD users can use FSR 3.1 and native AA for now.

Below are the settings that will work seamlessly with 12GB and higher VRAM GPUs at native 4K resolution, without the need for upscaling. If the frame rate falls below your required number, adjust the settings and reduce values until you reach your desired performance.

Gamers with high-end GPUs, such as the RTX 4070 Ti and above, can increase the quality options here. While they can do so without significantly altering the frame rate, the image quality may deteriorate. This is because the increased number of particle effects on the screen will increase ghosting and smearing issues. That is why the settings below were initially conservative.

Gamers on AMD GPUs, such as the RX 7900 XT or RX 9070 and beyond, can also play on native 4K with these settings. While DLSS remains out of reach for AMD cards, FSR 3.1 and its anti-aliasing at native resolution also do a decent job of cleaning up the image.
