Have anyone else noticed that UE 5 is significantly harder to run than other game engines in the current generation. Every game that uses UE 5 is hard to run and the visuals doesn't look worth the performance hit. Games from other engines and Games uses UE 4 is so much better.

Just take a look at S.T.A.L.K.E.R, yes they might be qble to optimise it more but even games less buggy if it's UE 5 it's hard to run. I play a LOT of AA games that uses UE 4 and all of them hits 100+ fps without breaking a sweat while still looking beautiful. It's crazy.

Why do you think this is? Also while you're commenting, drop the best performing 9th gen game you've played too!

Hard to say whether it’s the engine or not when playing specific games but seems that Lumen has a big impact in the engine at least.

All games using the engine is bloated... Fuck lumen itself is unoptimized as hell
