I think that overall, I am not too worried because all these games that are being developed for UE5 will still need to run on consoles which have much weaker CPUs than what's on PCs. I am sure there's a lot of optimizations and such that the devs will do to make UE5 work with more cores and threads before actually shipping their games. Cause otherwise, it really doesn't make much sense to have games go back to frequency when we have so many powerful cores available to utilize on consoles and PCs. The shader compilation nonsense is what I am more worried about. It seems to be the main thing that plagued many UE4 PC releases and it doesn't sound like there is a good way to get that resolved in UE5 either. On Consoles and Steam Deck, they can simply download the precompiled shaders because it's all fixed hardware. But on PC, because of how many combinations there are, it would be impossible to do. So they really need to figure out something to compile majority of the shaders. |
Yeah UE5 has only just seen a full release and still is in its infancy. Hopefully devs can figure out and optimize better for all our sakes and we're not bound to 30fps cap like on consoles. I mean John says his 12900K only hits 65fps max in that Matrix demo lol and he doesn't even talk about averages.
And about shaders compilations, yeah its been an issue for quite a few games for UE4 on PC. And even other engines. They did go over a game or series with pre compiled cached shaders in (CoD/Fortnite), that reduces stutters but those are few and far in between. Hopefully more will be done by devs to alleviate the discrepancy because its darn annoying when you get microstutters even when you have the hardware capable of running the software easily.
