To be fair to UE5, all the great looking “optimized” RE games I know of aren’t calculating anything super hard. Lighting, shadows and environment’s are all baked(pretty much free) because the games don’t require a lot of dynamism.

UE5 could do the same things(except smaa) and get similar if not better perf.

But I do agree with the last statement tho, studios need to stop catering to ultra rich GPU purchasers. It’s become darn near elitism.

Also, [The first descendant](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/released-ue5-games-the-60fps-performance-monitoring-of-games-using-ue5/1274622/9) looks great(without the forced TAA) and uses Lumen and no Nanite.
