unreal engine vs V-ray (unreal 5 )

hello everyone , I am pretty new to the engine I started learning it a few month ago and so far I am impressed with what it has to offer, I have only ever worked with 3dsmax and V-ray and this all I know and used for school projects. I will be starting work on my graduation project next month I am considering using unreal engine for my rendering ( and maybe a bit of short walkthrough animations) my question is can I get as real and realistic renders with unreal engine as I can with V-ray ? and if so how to I go about it ? and will it be worth the switch ?

note that i have a [Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 and 16GB RAM

thanks and sorry if my question seems dumb :slight_smile:
