said Rayner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Support for v-sync tearing has recently come to UWP and we will be able to offer proper unlocked frame-rate support that gamers expect on day one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With Unreal Engine 4 and our own custom modifications, we can take much better advantage of multiple CPU cores, alleviating the game from being CPU-bound and allowing more room for the GPU to shine with enhanced visual quality or higher framerates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Single-player will not be locked to 30fps on PC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other features include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dynamic resolution support (any resolution will be supported with a sensible dynamic field of view &#8211; including ultra-wide).<\/li>\n<li>Increased texture resolution (up to 4K resolution for select texture groups).<\/li>\n<li>A benchmark mode.<\/li>\n<li>Full keyboard\/mouse input remapping (including cover\/run and roll split).<\/li>\n<li>Far more comprehensive video settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Provided the game doesn&#8217;t suffer from the same issues that affected Quantum Break and the Gears of War Remaster, this could truly be the return of Microsoft and PC gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Gears of War 4 will release on <strong>11 October 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to The 8 biggest tips and tricks for Pokemon GO\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/nintendo\/99152-10-tips-and-tricks-for-pokemon-go.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">The 8 biggest tips and tricks for Pokemon GO<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Should game developers care if you have fun or not?\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/pc\/99436-should-game-developers-care-if-you-have-fun-or-not.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Should game developers care if you have fun or not?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to These are the Pokemon no one has caught yet in Pokemon GO\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/nintendo\/99464-these-are-the-pokemon-no-one-has-caught-yet-in-pokemon-go.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">These are the Pokemon no one has caught yet in Pokemon GO<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These incredible features mean Gears of War 4 will be best on the PC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":234,"featured_media":78538,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[18563,31,4654,15397,14560,10065],"class_list":["post-99704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pc","category-xbox","tag-18563","tag-active","tag-gears-of-war-4","tag-pc","tag-specifications","tag-xbox-one"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/234"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99704"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99708,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99704\/revisions\/99708"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
