Hello Friends!
In a desktop computer, what are the minimum & recommended system requirements for UE4 latest release?
And also, will an Intel graphics card with Windows 8.1 work? Please list all the manufacturers for graphics card whose products are compatible or supported.
I may ask many questions regarding the requirements so please be specific, which graphics card of Intel will work? And which manufacturer of Desktop computers is Supported, can anyone please list all of them?
Thank You Very Much!

This is all Epic has released so far via FAQ page:

"What are Unreal Engine 4’s system requirements?
You will need a powerful setup to get started developing with UE4 right now.

Here’s what we recommend:

Desktop PC or Mac
Windows 7 64-bit or Mac OS X 10.9.2 or later
Quad-core Intel or AMD processor, 2.5 GHz or faster
NVIDIA GeForce 470 GTX or AMD Radeon 6870 HD series card or higher
8 GB RAM"

It’s generally friendly to anything in the current gen of hardware i’m pretty sure, although i’m not sure about how it runs with windows 8. Keep in mind this is a newborn engine for us devs, we don’t have the wide amout of data to account for that yet.

Got it, thanks to who answered & helped me:)
Cheers! For Unreal Technology!

So finally, any additional information or note/remark gentlemen? Is this info enough & I should Finalise Them For UDK latest Release?

8

To avoid confusion, please be aware that UE4 is not the same thing as the UDK. UDK is the name of the free version of the UnrealEngine3.

Cheers

Yeah, I know, I wanted to know the recommended system requirements for UDK latest release too (like UE4), that’s why, no confusion. Could you please please tell me gentleman?
Cheers!

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 660 GTX 2 GB
Processor: Intel core i5

Memory: 8 GB
OS: Microsoft Windows 8(or 8.1, I’m not sure, I’ve not unboxed it yet because the graphics card will be delivered & installed today by the store service)
