Does this title have Denuvo?

[♥Shelia♥]

^ Title, too many games have it I wish to avoid buying games that cause performance impact when under CPU load, Denuvo products are known for this and Game Stop doesn't know );.

Nope. There's no Denuvo Anti-Tamper implementation for Gears 5.

[CursedPanther]

Nope.

Denuvo really can't cause a major performance hit on any semi-modern computer.

Truth.

Denuvo can also in some cases uncommonly lock someone out of their game until Denuvo's staff manually unlock it from their error. Denuvo objectively makes a game worse, but how worse will just vary for everyone. It's not the worst DRM (Starforce), but no DRM will absolutely always be better than any DRM for customers.

It's like buying any product, the seller should be open about design flaws. It's like buying a new car but the designer knows that for 1% of customers, the trunk latch will break within a week.

Performance issues is really noticed when you are running multiple games, or cpu / memory intensive tasks.

Games without DRM don't cause me any issues I can run 2 modern games at once.

But i've also been able to load up "Black Desert" "PUBG" "Warframe" "Elder Scrolls Online" all at the same time in max graphics without having performance impact and over 100+ FPS on all games when switched over to them in foreground.

Can't do this with any Denuvo title which is the problem i've been facing and why I no longer buy Denuvo based titles and always have to ask now because I hate it.

Even Battlefield 1 gives performance impact when under load due to Denuvo.

Even if I used an I9, or Threadripper with more threads i'd still run into the stuttering because of Denuvo, and performance impacts.

Care to explain how my system saw a performance increase amd load time increase in marvel vs capcom infinite when it was patched out then?

Patently false. In several games where it was patched out a few weeks / months after release some games saw drastic increases in frame rate and / or frame timing (easily 10% to 20% or more in some cases). When you're trying to achieve 4k 60fps in some games every bit matters and Denuvo, depending on the game, will sometimes have a significant impact on a game. For people with mid-range rigs (which is the majority of gamers) it is even more important since they can't just brute force past the loss of frame rate the way a high end system can.

But I run at 165 FPS monitors.

Nobody cares, you make up less than 5% of PC gamers, the vast majority of pc gamers run mid-range rigs, they are the target audience of developers / publishers as they they are the primary consumer of pc games - so they should care about negatively impacting their performance. You, myself and the minority of pc gamers who are enthusiasts with powerful systems are irrelevant as we make up a utterly tiny portion of the market.

Well if they don't care I don't care, cancelled my Borderlands 3 Preorder too i'll get it free on release date, but im not paying for it out of my wallet because of Denuvo.

I care maybe they don't care because $50 to them isn't a lot of money?
