Guess what? There goes the games that I am NOT playing because they are made on UE5 lol

Microsoft forcing TPM 2.0 be like “hold my dll file!”

When Epic came out with that demo video and all the outlandish claims about no more LODs and fully dynamic global illumination, I did not think their plan to implement that was “everyone’s gonna get a PC powerful enough to run this lmao”

Make extremly poorly optimized openworld game ( to the point that dev change their mind and don’t make open world anymore)

UE5 Pseudoregalia – runs on steam deck, locked 60fps, with 20-30% CPU/GPU utilization

Upgrade on what? Even the 5090 is bad at UT5

I avoid UE5 games, there are tons of games out there for me to play. i’ll get to UE5 titles eventually when i upgrade at my own pace.

Delicious CPU under-utilization.

Unreal engine was the best and worst thing that ever happened to gaming.
It gave small team and independent developers a powerful tool that allowed them to build top notch AA games. And without Unreal engine many of our favorite indie titles from the past 15 years never would have happened
But it also gave large developers and the biggest publishers a lazy tool that allowed them to half-ass their way through multiple AAA games. And many of the most promising games that ended up piles of shit came from large studios trying to use Unreal to cut costs.

Yall werent around 20 years ago and it shows. Often you couldn’t run games if your system was more than 2 years old back then

Just don’t buy badly made games and reward poor practice, there are 1000’s of other things to spend money on

UE5 its not the problem, the problem its the people and lazy devs who dont want to optimize the game…
Upgrade to play shitty overpriced AAA games? Nah mate. I’m happy playing Warframe and indies.

UE5 is fine, it’s the Devs who can’t optimise for crap and depend on daddy Jensen to give them more fake frames that are the real issue.

UE5 game optimization sucks ass , please optimize the game engine please
Novel_Yam_1034
its not UE5 that sucks, its the devs that are lazy and not optimize.
UE5 has so many things, devs just use the default and not bother doing a better job because upscaling exists.

We need GPU with a lot of memory. In UE5 all original high-polygon assets are sent directly to the GPU without any LOD, so the GPU itself could generate dynamic LOD models itself (Nanite).
* **2010–2020:** PC users complained that last-gen consoles slowed down graphics progress in games.
* **2020:** New consoles were released with 16 GB of memory (12 GB usable for graphics).
* **2021:** Unreal Engine 5 was designed as a memory-hungry beast – Nanite
* **2022:** Nvidia gone crazy and released new GPU with less memory than on previous models. The new RTX 4060 had only 8 GB, compared to the 12 GB in RTX 3060. All gaming notebooks up to RTX 4070 came with only 8 GB.
I’m just a random software engineer with some graphics experience. I don’t know much about the “business” side of things, but Nvidia’s recent strategy seems insane. Those 8 GB cards released in 2022 should never be released.
We are very close to next-gen consoles which will use 24 GB (256-bit like PS5) or 30 GB (320-bit like Xbox) and Nvidia still sell notebook chips with 8 GB VRAM.

And still it doesn’t help to play UE5 games smoothly

I mean… at least it looks pretty good. XD

As far as I know, expedition 33 is the only ue5 game that ran flawlessly. One more legendary feat for team sandfall.

The art of optimisation and polish is disappearing for lazy mass production.

play old games. no need for new games.

It actually made me go the steam deck route instead and enjoy my backlog, and supporting indie projects and games.
jumbohiggins
A lot of pile on hate on unreal in here. I’ve worked in games for over ten years and I can say that right now internally almost everything is moving to UE. It’s getting to the point where if you don’t have ue experience it’s like shooting yourself in the foot.

True, I bought a 7900xtx just to play Robocop Rogue City (it was $500 CAD LESS than the 4080 at the time). But it was so worth it, game is visually beautiful, I often just walk around looking at the incredibly detailed environment. Edited to say I’m still playing Rogue City, it has a huge replay value.

Admittedly, the only UE5 game I’ve played is Marvel Rivals, but that game ran great on my laptop. Maintained 80+ FPS at 1440p max settings with RT. With RT turned down, I was hitting nearly 200 fps. And my GPU is basically a slightly faster 4060 Ti 8 GB (34 SMs at 2535 MHz on the 4060 Ti, vs. 36 SMs at 2610 MHz on the 4070 Laptop).
Granted, my CPU is overkill, but I assume most single-player UE5 games will run fine too.

you guys can afford to upgrade your pc’s?

I just won’t buy poorly optimized UE5 games. I am not missing much if the games perform poorly and cause more frustration than joy. Still plenty of other good games to enjoy

Progress takes testing. UE5 will get better eventually. But graphics coming so close to reality.. performance dies. That’s all.
We wait, if UE5 does not become the current best engine, some other engine will in due time.
