IMHO The Problem is only partly the 8GB VRAM (for 1080p). An at least equal part of the Problem is the sitty Optimisation of some game engines. Especially Unreal Engine 5.

There is nothing wrong with Unreal Engine and UE5 is not meaningfully different than UE4. The problem is that developers only “optimize” to pass console certifications while PC gamers are left out in the cold. It also doesn’t help that PC gamers have a lot more options and will often insist on choosing settings that are far beyond the capabilities of their particular hardware.

Yeah seeing a cool game and then seeing it's made in UE5 really puts a damper on things. I wish the engine had more work into performance optimization.

What would you do to optimize it more?

[–] Soleos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would ask ChatGPT to review the source code and optimize it 😈

Task failed Successfully! Now 8TB is the minimum. Well at least it's still 8. :)
