Behind Unreal Engine 5.5 Innovation: PC Hardware Cost Sacrifice and Performance Challenges

The latest Unreal Engine 5.5 adds more innovative features to help developers create a better gaming experience, but at the cost of PC hardware cost sacrifice and performance challenges.Even the RTX 50 series graphics card will be unable to meet the performance challenges brought by Unreal 5.

Recently, in the new Moore's Law Is Dead podcast, Brian Heemskerk of Masive Damage discussed the current situation of Unreal 5.5.He highlights the many challenges developers face when using the engine and the engine somehow adding complexity to enable them to do things that were impossible before.

Heemskerk pointed out that although Unreal 5 can achieve game production goals that were difficult to achieve in the past, it comes at the cost of significantly lagging behind in performance, which is equivalent to falling behind in GPUs of two generations.Games using Unreal 5 engines don't seem to run smoothly on high-end hardware.

According to the developer, the host platform has obvious advantages in data processing compared to the PC platform.Because PS5 and XSX|S hosts are equipped with dedicated hardware, such as I/O controllers, they can handle data compression and decompression.There are many data bottlenecks in this regard, which affects the smoothness of the game operation.At present, it seems that performance can be improved only through faster interfaces and processors, and these problems are roughly solved.Therefore, Unreal 5 games may have to wait until the RTX 60 Series graphics card is launched before they can run smoothly on the PC.

Epic is very clear about the performance problems in Unreal 5 games. Recently they revealed which engine features can alleviate these problems, and they are working to improve this situation.
