Epic Games: Unreal Engine 5 tech demo can run on RTX 2080 laptop at 40fps and 1440p

The other day Epic Games presented technical demonstration of the next generation technology Lumen in the Land of Nanite on the new Unreal Engine 5 (UE5), which will appear next year. She performed on PlayStation 5 at 1440p (dynamic) at 30fps and impressed even the Xbox Series X team. Later the developers said that it could be launched on the average modern gaming PC, and now concretize these words.

According to Epic Games China, a demo of Unreal Engine 5 on a laptop with a modern NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics accelerator can already run faster than on the upcoming PS5. The company said that at an average 1440p resolution, the demo would hit about 40 fps on such a system.

What's more, the demo doesn't even seem to take full advantage of the PS5's SSD capabilities, because Epic has named an SSD as sufficient. NVMe Samsung 970 PRO, up to 3500MB/s sequential read and up to 2700MB/s write. Recall: the PS5 has a linear read speed can reach 8-9 GB/s.

The Unreal Engine 5 tech demo showcased some incredible visuals, and so it's really interesting to see how soon we'll see them in high-budget games. After all, one can hardly say that the level technical demo of Agni's Philosophy was achieved (at least massively) in the outgoing PS4 and Xbox One era.
