Unreal Engine 5, [UE5 Developer Availability 2022-04-05]

[cwjs]

Are you crazy? It needs atleast 32 GB of RAM, 12 core and a High End GPU on PC for freaking 30 FPS.

And that's because they don't make use of next gen technologies like Sampler Feedback, Mesh Shading and SSD Streaming on PC.

Old hardware holds back new gen hardware again.

That'd because it's in editor. Builds will run fine -- game engine workflows are incredibly hardware heavy, builds are optimized (they contain compressed assets, no editor overhead, etc.) 32gb of ram is a reasonable requirement for working on a scene this complex in ue4 today.

Edit: to elaborate, try tweaking anything in the unity Heretic demo on your gaming pc -- it runs horribly in editor on my 2060 super, ryzen 7, 32gb ram, etc.

it takes a few more seconds than R&C though.

Something about the GI lighting doesn't look quite as impressive as last years demo imo.

my download is still verifying, how did you get Valley of Ancients?

nvm downloading it

 

[eastmen]

I'd try it but it requires epic game store so I will pass.

Lumen supports hardware ray tracing now.

64 GB of system RAM is recommanded for 30fps ;d

Maybe this is caused by directstorage and hw/gpu decompression not being available for windows yet? Content could be read slowly due to cpu decompression and result is cached in ram? Consoles would run circles around pc hw until directstorage+efficient decompression is implemented.

Would love to hear hardware specs and experiences from people trying it so far

I have 32Gb and a 3080. Do I get 15fps?

 

[Karamazov]

i think DF will have a try at the demo.

NVIDIA RTX, Unreal Engine 5 Define Future of Game Development and Content Creation | NVIDIA Developer Blog

UE5 represents a generational leap in both workflows and visual fidelity, extending the engine’s support for DirectX Raytracing, NVIDIA DLSS, and NVIDIA Reflex, and adding new features such as Nanite and Lumen that make it faster and easier for games to implement photorealistic visuals, large open worlds and advanced animation and physics.

Not only does it run fine on all platforms, but they imitated the ratchet world switch effect. Condolences to the console warriors throughout this thread. Preview looks amazing, grabbing this to start working in this week.

Yes there goes the claims that you couldnt replace console nvme with cpu and extra main ram.

God, when 5700XT is still considered a high end GPU Its a 2019 mid ranger from AMD.

Maybe he was thinking hes going to run the ue5 editor on the ps5

All in all, rather low system specs seeing its for the editor which usually means more cpu cores and high amounts of ram. The last years UE5 demo running very well on a 2080maxq laptop wasnt off afterall.

don't know, check

The engine will also support DLSS and Reflex.

Dlss will probably be a big deal for both low resolution games (nanite performance scales heavily with resolution according to docs) and maybe low-precision vertex positions

Wouldn't call 12 core cpu, rtx 2080 with 64gb of system ram for 30 fps low system spec how looks mid tier and high tier systems ;? d

but it can though, since it runs fine on PS5/XSX with much less ram

Something about the GI lighting doesn't look quite as impressive as last years demo imo.

Maybe just because it's all outdoors, no cave / canyon / indoor so no interesting bounce lighting.
Will try to build some Cornell Box scene...
