Submission Instructions

I. Accessibility

You will need access to the PC version of Gears 5 in order to participate. Gears 5 is currently included in Game Pass. It can also be purchased on Steam and Microsoft Store.

II. Settings

There are four leaderboards with the following resolutions and settings:

  1. 1920x1080 - Maxed Settings

  2. 2560x1440 - Maxed Settings

  3. 3840x2160 - Maxed Settings

  4. 3840x2160 - Maxed Settings & SSVRS

You cannot submit a result to Leaderboard 4 unless you submit a result to Leaderboard 3. The reverse is not the case.

"Maxed Settings" refers to a specific list of settings, which are required for submission. The screenshots below correspond to "Maxed Settings." Be sure to use these exact settings when running the benchmark for each of the three resolutions. SSVRS is short for Screen Space Variable Rate Shading. Set this to Off for leaderboards 1-3 and to Performance for Leaderboard 4.

Warning: You will likely need to restart the game for the settings to be applied.
