Introduction:
Hi everyone, I am exploring how to optimize hardware when using Unreal Engine 5. Specifically, I am looking for ways to fully utilize hardware resources (GPU, CPU, RAM) to develop and run UE5 projects as smoothly as possible.

Key Questions:

  1. Which settings in Unreal Engine 5 have the most significant impact on hardware performance, especially when working with heavy projects?
  2. Are there any techniques to optimize GPU processing while maintaining high image quality?
  3. What tips and tricks can help reduce CPU load when handling complex objects and tasks like lighting and animation?

Goal:
I hope to gain insights from people who have successfully optimized hardware for Unreal Engine 5, as well as any useful reference materials.

  1. Forward Shading. Mostly because it disables all the modern flashy features of Unreal so it will have a profound impact on the look of your scene and render much, much faster.
  2. Use baked lighting and don’t use volumetrics
  3. This depends greatly on what you’re doing
