Unreal Engine 5.4 Gorgeous Industrial Factory Tech Demo Is Too Much Even for an RTX 4080 GPU at 4K Resolution
The Unreal Engine 5.4 will push some incredible visuals, but it will come at a huge performance cost, which may force most players to turn down some settings, even on the best GPUs on the market.
A new video shared on YouTube by MXBenchmarkPC shows a gorgeous Industrial Factory tech demo, which was recently ported to the latest version of the game development engine by Epic. While at 1440p resolution the GPU has no trouble running the demo at around 80/90 FPS in both daytime and nighttime scenarios, an RTX 4080 is unable to hit 60 FPS at native 4K resolution.

With 60 FPS gameplay in Unreal Engine 5 games potentially being hard to achieve even on high-end systems, it is no surprise to see how it's even more difficult to attain on current generation consoles, which isn't surprising given the visual quality offered by the engine. The best-looking UE5 game to date, Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, for example, will only run at "cinematic" 30 frames per second on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and even on PC, most users won't be able to run the game at native 4K resolution and 60 FPS, judging from the game's official PC system requirements.
The Unreal Engine 5.4 was released to the public late last month. You can learn more about the new features introduced in the latest version of the game development engine by Epic by going here.
