Hi, Apple announced that new new M4 computers support ray tracing. Did anyone use it for rendering animations from UE editor? I’m not sure if to invest in the new M4 ?

Hi there @Michalso1234

Welcome to the Unreal Forum! I’d compare all of the rest of the hardware specs to the required/recommended from the Epic site for UE 5. I’m not sure on the power of the M4 GPU as I’m not positive which it uses. But, I’ve saw weaker GPU’s that supported ray tracing yet tanked their FPS too. But, yea I’d check the full specs and compare them to the 5.5 recommended settings. I hope that helps!

Hi, thank you @FrostyJas ! That’s helpful. Now I’m on M1 Mac and raytracing is the only but very important feature missing.

I completely understand! Did you check the GPU capabilities on the M4?

@FrostyJas seems like Unreal does not support it on M4

Ah, I see. I was wondering what the GPU looked like. Was that the issue?
