We take a look at Gears of War 4 for the PC in our PC minded way of graphics performance articles. We'll test the game on the PC platform relative towards graphics card performance with the latest AMD/NVIDIA graphics card drivers. Multiple graphics cards are being tested and benchmarked. We have a look at performance with the newest graphics cards and technologies.

Good God man, having a rough day or something ? This is no longer a DX11 title, hence it cannot even be tested at DX11, only DX12.
As far as CPU choices go, that has been perfectly explained in this thread already, however I have two things on the slate today, see if I can get FCAT going and include them and try to load up the game on an 8-core AMD FX platform and pray the license still kicks in and isn't revoked. Contrary to another website, we actually do buy the an original license opposed to using cracks and thus pay in full. Since that is coming out of my own pocket I am not planning to purchase licenses for each PC we test on.
You're right. Sorry about the rambling.
It's just that most reviews tend to focus on beasts, and having a big tittle reviewed on normal computers would really be appreciated.
Heck, I'm sure that people that are thinking on getting an APU would like to know how well they would fair, specially now that the latest AMD APUs are looking good for stuff that usually didn't fare well at all on them. Personally I can't wait to see how future Zen APUs fair in general.
I'm curious about the fact that you use a normal licence. It's sad that DRM crippled titles don't at least have special versions for reviewers.

^ like said before this is a graphics (GPU) benchmark hence Guru3D uses a powerful CPU to take CPU bottlenecking out of the equation as much as possible, as they should.
Granted I too would like to know the results with different/weaker CPUs but then that would be a CPU scaling benchmark or such.
However you can see the CPU usage chart in the review so you can extrapolate a bit from there:
In the review they get 16 % total CPU usage with 16 cores.
Estimating that'd equate to around 64 % with 4 cores (assuming similar IPC and clock speed) shouldn't be too much off the truth.
Especially when evaluating CPU usage with fewer cores from reference. I think.
Tbh that usage chart is a very helpful addition to VGA benchmarks.

Your posts don't make any sense tbh in relation to each other.

** article updated with three additional cards and AMD FX 8370 vs Intel Core i7 5960X CPU scaling results.

I want GoW 4 although £50 is a bit much, guess i'll wait for it to go on sale :/
Sold my two 970's then gave up gaming on PC for a while, few weeks back looking through Gumtree to see how much people are selling their Graphics card/s for and was surprised to find an MSI R9 390X Gaming for £160!
it's less than 1 year old, i ended up buying it, seemed (and still does) a massive bargain for the money.
The chap i bought the card from had upgraded to the Titan X 12gb.
