Will it run on my laptop?

Hello,

I wanted to buy the engine but I’m not sure if my laptop can run the engine

HD 8750M 2 GB
8 GB DDR3 1600
AMD A8 5557m Quad Core, 4x2.5 ghz

The AMD card is as fast as a GT 740M, but the engine isn’t optimized for AMD, only for Nvidia so I think the engine will run much worse on my system than on a equiavalent Nvidia system? Is this correct?

Thanks

It will run since i saw it running on a lower PC (i3 2.4ghz and Intel gpu and was about @20/30 FPS) you can always lower settings like post process etc… and gain 20 more FPS, more than enough for testing and learning puproses

Thanks for the answer. 20/30 FPS on a Intel GPU? Sounds great! But I heard they will release a new build with better performance in a couple of months so I will wait for that one. How is the performance on AMD cards generally? I expect it to be much worse than on Nvidia because Epic said they working hard with Nvidia. Also do I need PhysX for the GPU particles or does it run on its own? Is a demo level like the Forest in Cryengine also included in UE4?

Thanks

Well on a FX 8320 (ocra core @3.5ghz) and a hd7770 2gb ddr5 runs at 80fps and It’s a full AMD setup so i guess It’s not a nVidia only. You font nerd physx and yes there are alot of maps include in the marketplace. Hope this help.
