Hi, I am new to Unreal Engine and trying to get it up and running. I have an iMac Late 2012, 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M 512 MB running on OS Monterey.
I installed UE 5.1 and it crashed and took ages to load so then installed 4.27 and got a similiar notification window saying system is running with hardware below recommended configuration so might crash, it also was super slow in loading.
I only have 8GB of Ram and was going to upgrade it to 32GB. I am not sure if the graphics card is just not compatible and I would need to update that too or would a better option be bootcamp? Or do I need a whole new computer?
Trying to optimize as inexpensively as possible - any tech advice would be much appreciated because I really don’t know what my best option would be for a smooth experience. Many Thanks !
