Any GeForce RTX card has hardware ray tracing, and the cheapest on Evetech's Nvidia shelf is the RTX 3050 at R4,399. Gears of War E-Day launched on 6 October 2026, so a South African buyer should read the final PC specifications first.
Gears of War: E-Day launched on 6 October 2026 with a hard condition for PC players: the game needs a graphics card that can do hardware ray tracing. So the GPU that supports ray tracing in Gears of War E-Day question is really a cut-off line, and every GeForce RTX card sits above it while GTX cards sit below it. Add roughly 115 GB of free space on an SSD and the checklist gets short and clear.
Any GeForce RTX card has hardware ray tracing, and the cheapest RTX card Evetech lists in that range is Palit's RTX 3050 StormX 6GB at R4,399. GTX cards such as the GTX 1060 or GTX 1650 do not qualify, because they have no ray tracing hardware. Gears of War E-Day also asks for about 115 GB of free SSD space, so check your drive before the card.
Hardware ray tracing arrived on GeForce with the RTX 20 series in 2018. That makes the pass list simple on the Nvidia side: RTX 2060 and up, the whole RTX 30 series, the RTX 40 series and the RTX 50 series. Everything labelled GTX, including the GTX 16 series, falls on the wrong side. AMD cards with ray tracing hardware start at the Radeon RX 6000 series, and Intel Arc cards include it too.
Not sure which one you own? Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc, open Performance and click GPU. If the name starts with "GeForce RTX", you pass. If it starts with "GTX", the upgrade is not optional.
The publisher lists around 115 GB of free space, on an SSD. For a household sharing fibre across several screens, or someone on capped LTE in a Durban flat, that is a download measured in hours and in data allowance, so start it on an uncapped night. A small drive already carrying Windows and two other big games may not have the room, which makes a 1TB SSD the sensible partner to a new graphics card. Free space matters beyond the install too: an SSD that is nearly full slows down, so aim to keep at least 10 percent of the drive empty after the game lands.
Ray tracing starts at R4,399 for Palit's StormX, an RTX 3050 with 6GB of memory, and MSI's Ventus 2X edition of the same chip is R5,199. Spend R9,199 and the RTX 5060 Dual from Palit adds 8GB of GDDR7 and a newer architecture; the Infinity 2 OC model is R9,499. Read the final published PC specifications for the minimum and recommended card before choosing a tier, since ray tracing on does not mean ray tracing fast. As a rule of thumb, the first RTX generations handle ray tracing at modest settings, and newer cards with more RT cores cope better when effects are set high. Match the tier to your screen as well: a 1080p monitor needs far less card than a 1440p one.
