ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1080 Gaming A8G Review

The Gears Of War 4 game’s plot is set 25 years after Gears of War 3 and focuses on JD Fenix, the son of Marcus Fenix. Gears of War is a third-person shooter game, with its core concepts being derived from Resident Evil 4s “over the shoulder” perspective, Kill Switchs cover system, and Bionic Commandos swinging action akin to moving between points of cover. (Wikipedia).

Gears of War 4 is launched via the Windows 10 Store, requires the Windows 10 Anniversary Update to run, and only supports the DirectX 12 API.

We test using the Ultra quality preset. Dynamic Resolution scaling was turned off and Async Compute was enabled where the GPU supported it.

Much of the same is shown with Gears of War 4. ASUS and Gigabyte battle fiercely with their custom-cooled GTX 1080s on show today. The Gigabyte card is a smidgen faster than the STRIX A8G, but emphasis really does need to be put on the word ‘smidgen‘ as we are talking fractions of a frame in most instances.

A solid 5.3% average FPS performance lead is shown by the A8G STRIX GTX 1080 over a Founder's Edition model at 4K.
