system requirements

Ok, I give up. What does it take to run unreal engine? I just got a new computer…I9 processor, 32 gigs of ram, Nvidia Gforce RTX 3070 with 8 gigs and Unreal crashed my gpu right off the bat. I had imported a house I had created in Maya, and textured in Painter, using 4K textures. Nothing else in the scene yet and less than half through setting up and applying textures and it crashed my gpu. At this rate it would take a mainframe to do most of the unreal scenes I’ve seen online. I’m about ready to give up on UE.

Sorry, it’s very vague.

A house can mean many things. You might just have a box shape and a handful of textures, or a billion poly model with 400 different materials.

Are you getting a crash log?

Based on the vague description so far, this sounds more like an instability in the motherboard, graphics card, or drivers, than a specific scene problem.

What does “crashed my GPU” mean? What error message are you getting? Is the message from Unreal, or from Windows?

Try downloading some of the free demo scenes (like the boy-and-a-kite scene) and load it up in the editor, and see if that works.
