What is neccisary to run UE4

What minimum specs are required to run UE4 at 30+ FPS. And how many cores does it require?

This question is heavily dependent on what you have in your scene / game. If you have a simple 2d platformer without a lot of effects you could run at 30+fps on a cheap laptop. On the other hand if you have a 3d game with high resolution textures and a lot of fancy effects you could need an i7 and 10 series GPU. It’s really up to you what platforms your game runs smoothly at.

Officially these are the minimum specs:

  • 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.

Thank you. I probably won’t run anything much more advanced then maybe a super simple FPS with UE4’s 3D ‘character’ with little to no effects. Do you think this will run it? https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Lenovo-Z50-75-Signature-Edition-Laptop/productID.2740240000

Thank you again. :slight_smile:

You will probably have some issues with that since there isn’t any GPU and I am not sure of the on-board graphics capabilities of the AMD-fx7500. From what I can tell on PassMark - AMD FX-7500 APU - Price performance comparison it is below several i5s.

Hmm, I don’t know.

Is there a reason you are going for a laptop vs a desktop? You could build a decent dev rig pretty cheap. Laptops are always way over priced.

Crap, that PC is worse than mine… which cant run UE4…

Will this work xD;

P.S. if I’ve bugged you too much you don’t have to answer :slight_smile:

This is an alright deal for a laptop: https://flash.newegg.com/Product/9SIA10V5952979?utm_source=NFEmail021617&utm_medium=index&utm_campaign=SaleBanner_B3C_9SIA10V5952979&cm_mmc=EMC-NFEmail021617--SaleBanner_B3C_9SIA10V5952979--NA-_-9SIA10V5952979

I think this is deleting posts with amazon links. I posted a good deal. Not sure if you got it or not.

This is a pretty good deal for a laptop:

Thank you. I’ll stop posting amazon links and I’ll leave you alone. Your time is appreciated.
