Gears of War Ultimate Edition PC Requirements leaked via Windows 10 Store listing
The Windows 10 Store has Gears of War Ultimate Edition listed, which means we now know its system requirements for minimum, recommended, and 4K gaming.
We learned Gears of War Ultimate Edition was coming to PC back at E3 2015. Since then, Microsoft has been quiet about the title, but today, the game has appeared on the Windows 10 Store and has given us a bevvy of new information.
According to the Windows 10 Store listing, we can expect Gears of War Ultimate Edition to feature support for 4K graphics with an unlocked refresh rate, although everything else appears to be on par with the Xbox One version. That means you should expect to play through the Timgad Station, read through five digital Gears of War comic books, and experience a total of 19 different multiplayer maps.
The PC version of the game will offer support for both keyboard/mouse and gamepad controls, and will include the Deluxe Weapon Skin Pack and 11 bonus multiplayer characters.

Wow those system requirements are mentally high for a remake that uses DX12. Don't get me wrong I am super happy it is using DX12 but this must kill the Xbox One version if it needs all that.
I have to wonder what the hell are they doing in the game that it needs so much power? The whole point of DX12 is to lower your hardware requirements of the GPU like Mantle or when you go from DX9 to DX11.
Is this game visually way better than the new Tomb Raider and pushing new DX12 stuff?
The original Gears of Wars on the PC requirements where the following :
* I have the original and the DVD *
CPU: Intel 2.4 GHz+ / AMD 2.0 GHz+
CPU Speed: 2.4 GHz
RAM: 1 GB
OS: Windows XP or Vista
Video Card: NVIDIA Geforce 6600+ / ATI x700+
DirectX version: 9.0c or DX10
Sound Card: Yes
Free Disk Space: 12 GB
DVD-ROM: Yes
That is a crazy jump of hardware req off the base game hey LOL.
Unless the poly count is insane, massive new detail every where, everything is tessellated, has 4096x4096 textures, multi shaders on everything, crazy shadows system, mental particle system heck I don't know what else I am not sure why its so high.
Man I want to really know now, I saw the XB1 footage and looks good but these requirements are severe over kill if its just the Xbox One game with nothing changed.
We will see I guess, I take it no one has seen any PC screens yet?
