Is 8gb enough for running unreal?

Development Programming & Scripting

I had recently installed unreal engine because I was doing a course on udemy. But it is very slow and not efficient enough, should I upgrade to 16gb ram?

8gb is super on edge minimum, if you can go 16gb. Prioretize memory and CPU over GPU (ofcorse not saying you should go low-end, mid rage will do), because this 2 components are what takes most heavy lifting when you use editor. Also more cores the better, don’t listen to Gaming Hardware YouTubers that treat PC like consoles, UE4 has many processes like code compilation, baking that scale pretty much infinitlly on cores, it normal for people to go Threadripper in this community.

Back in 2018, I did it with 4 gigs of RAM, yeah, it was rough though.
