Video Card/DirectX Version
I know this is present on the official website but this could not be further from the truth. There’s plenty of entry-level DX11 cards that cannot cope with UE4.
The original listing as of the engine release looked like this:
- OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit or Mac OSX Sierra.
- CPU: Quad-core Intel or AMD processor, 2.5 GHz or faster.
- RAM: 8 GB, Recommended to have at least 32 GB.
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 470 GTX or AMD Radeon 6870 HD series card or higher.
- Video Card/DirectX Version: DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 compatible graphics card.
- For storage purposes, fast SSDs are good.
Now those 2 GPUs are actually relevant even today.
One way or another, OP’s laptop will melt and that 4GB means that they’ll be using swap file all the time; and this will come to a grinding halt under a minute
