SAPPHIRE RX 5600 XT Pulse Review

Gears 5 is a third-person shooter video game developed by The Coalition and published by Xbox Game Studios for Microsoft Windows and Xbox One. It is the sixth instalment of the Gears of War series, and is the second Gears of War game not to be developed by Epic Games.

We test using the Ultra preset, with Best Animation Quality (instead of Auto), DX12 API.

So far things have looked pretty rosy for the 5600 XT with the games we've tested, and it's no different in Gears 5. This is an AMD title so at 1080p it's not a huge surprise to see the 5600 XT original BIOS 2% ahead of the RTX 2060 already, and with the updated BIOS this stretches to a 12% lead, above even the 2060 Super.

At 1440p, too, the updated BIOS is able to score 10% higher frame rates than the RTX 2060, indicative of an 11% improvement in performance when compared the original 5600 XT BIOS to the updated one.
