Hi everyone - it's the holiday weekend, we've got some early access and we're going to be sharing this one ahead of time with ALL supporters. Yes, it's Alex's eagerly anticipated breakdown of the latest Unreal Engine 5 release, focusing on features and performance in The Matrix Awakens city sample. Lots of data to get through in this one and let's just say that the performance implications are profound - though we must remember that UE5 is still far from the finished article. Enjoy!

Unreal Engine 5 Matrix City Sample PC Analysis: The Cost of Next-Gen Rendering

It's early days for Unreal Engine 5 and its incredible new rendering technologies, but the technology is now available for all along with the Matrix Awakens cityscape - which is available as a project for all developers to experiment with. In this video, Alex goes deep on the key systems that set UE5 apart, how they scale and how performant they are right now - with some eye-opening results.

With it being so CPU limited, would a 12900k fare substantially better?

Not related to this video but any plans to do either Patreon exclusive video or not about John’s game collection showcase ? Why not Alex and others too if there is enough to show for video ? Would love that !

Great analysis and fascinating tech. Wasn't too thrilled about the performance on my i9 9900k + 2080 Ti, but it's early days.

What is the INI edit that was used to switch between software and hardware lumen? I'm not seeing the missing torso reflection bug so I guess it's hardware driven by default?
