Unreal Engine 5 is being optimized for 60fps

Epic China says you don't need PS5's SSD to run the demo, decent SSDs will do just fine.

Dunno if I have a decent SSD in my gaming laptop, this is what it can do


Only half as fast as the PS5 SSD in raw speed under optimal conditions.
Of course PS5 can also benefit from compression upping the data rate to 9 GB/S while directly reading into video memory.
For some reason my SSD suffers greatly from random access, perhaps that's normal or a windows thing?

It's much faster than the HDD at least which has it's own quirks. (Why is writing faster than reading?)
But it's obvious that random access is a death sentence for HDDs.

Anyway if this is a decent SSD (I don't know) then the ps5 is at least 3 times faster and can bypass reading things first to normal ram to transfer them through to vram afterwards.

The C drive certainly has a decent one. The problem is we won't really know a lot of things until the next gen systems launch and until then, we can only speculate as to how things will perform. At the very least for the first couple years after launch, I think most SSDs like yours will be fine. Once the cross gen phase goes away and engines really start getting optimized for next gen technologies. That's when people may need to upgrade for AAA games.

The one thing that no one should be able to refute is the fap worthy SSD that's in the PS5 since it really is hella fast.
