I am planing on getting a new laptop and I have a few questions related to requirements of UE4:

  1. What are lowest properties of a graphics card for it to be able to start up UE4?
  2. Will graphical requirement be lowered in future? (aka. will I be able to start it up with a weaker card in future)
  3. Will there ever be a 32bit version of UE4

Hey UDKAP,

You will need a powerful setup to get started developing with UE4 right now. Here’s what we recommend:

Desktop PC or Mac
Windows 7 64-bit or Mac OS X 10.9.2 or later
Quad-core Intel or AMD processor, 2.5 GHz or faster
NVIDIA GeForce 470 GTX or AMD Radeon 6870 HD series card or higher
8 GB RAM
