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 instalment 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 brings things back down to earth for the RX 6600 XT. At 1080p it is able to deliver 92FPS on average, giving it a healthy 12% lead over the RTX 3060, but we're once again looking at a similarly-sized deficit when compared to the RTX 3060 Ti. We can also see a tiny lead over the RX 5700 XT, with a difference of just 4FPS between those cards.

At 1440p meanwhile, the 6600 XT is still delivering a great experience here, averaging just over 60FPS, and that makes it 5% faster than the RTX 3060. Its lead over the RX 5700 XT is even smaller though, while it's also 20% slower than the RTX 3060 Ti, despite being just 5% cheaper in terms of MSRP.
