System requirements for unreal engine 5 for simulation

Development Getting Started & Setup
,
1

I want to work on unreal engine 5 for simulation, need help for the system requirements.

Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-13500HX (2.5 GHz up to 4.7 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost
Technology, 24 MB L3 cache, 14 cores, 20 threads)
Memory: 32GB DDR5 Ram
Hard drive: 1TB PCIe® Gen4 NVMe™ Performance M.2 SSD
Display: 16.1" diagonal, FHD (1920 x 1080), 165Hz, 7ms response time, IPS, micro-edge,
anti-glare, Low Blue Light, 300 nits
VGA Card: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4050 Laptop GPU (6 GB GDDR6 dedicated)

The system having the above specs is good for the smooth working or not?

The engine will work fine. But you did not explain what you’re simulating…

  • ragdolls flapping around - fine
  • weather patterns on Jupiter - maybe
  • the US elections polls - not really

The simulations e.g water simulation (how water flows in the pipes or rivers etc)

I mean. You’re not telling us much - what is the scope? I can create a simulation of…

water flows in the pipes or rivers

…and bring any system imaginable to its knees. You’re asking a very generic question that has no real answer. It’s a laptop with a 50W CPU, albeit modern, and an underwhelming GPU with limited vRAM as far as 2024 is concerned.

Can one simulate some plugin water? Sure! But manage your expectations.

If you’ve already bought it, it’s fine. If you can find a laptop with an 8GB 4060, that’d more future-proof.

I apologize if I could not explain your question better.

For now, I only have the above requirements for simulation.

Thanks for the support.

On more question,

Is the Processor is good enough to work smoothly? if not can you please suggest me any other.
For RAM I have mentioned: 32GB DD5

Thanks

It all depends on the scope. Are you simulating 100k particles or 100m? The CPU is fine, especially in a laptop. Note that the engine is hungry, no matter what you’re doing.

32GB RAM in a laptop if somewhat luxurious, sufficient for most tasks.

I have asked the same question to the client, either he wants 100k or 100m.
Once, he replied I’ll let you know.

I really appreciate your quick response(s)
