Epic Games claims that Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo can run with 40fps on RTX2080 notebook at 1440p

159 Comments

Earlier this week, Epic Games presented an amazing tech demo of Unreal Engine 5 on PS5. That demo was running at 1440p with 30fps and looked spectacular. However, that same demo can already run with 40fps on an NVIDIA RTX2080 notebook at 1440p.

This has been confirmed by Epic Games China. According to Epic Games China, the Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo can already run faster on the PC. Not only that, but it appears that the demo does not take full advantage of PS5’s SSD. After all, an NVMe 970 SSD is more than enough to run the game with 40fps at 1440p.

Thus, a modern system with an NVMe 970 SSD and an NVIDIA RTX2080 can already outperform the unreleased PS5 in this particular tech demo. Again, and while the PS5 SSD is quite a beast, this particular demo does not push it to its limits. However, I think it’s quite obvious right now that owners of such GPUs and SSDs will be fine with next-gen games.

Unreal Engine 5 Tech Demo pushed incredible visuals, so we are really curious to see whether games will actually look as good as it did. After all, we never got close to the Agni’s Philosophy tech demo in the PS4/Xbox One era.

You can find Epic Games China’s comments about the Unreal Engine 5 Demo performance on the PC here. You can listen to Epic Games’ developer talk about the PC performance at the 53-minute point. Just to clarify, the demo they showed later on was NOT running on the PC. The developers revealed the specs and framerate when asked if they had tried to run the demo on a PC.

Here is exactly what the Epic Games developer said.

“Our goal is that the graphic quality like this demo, we want to make it run 60FPS at next-gen consoles. But now we do not reach the goal. Now it is 30FPS. Our target is 60FPS, that is also why we can not release it now. And I can assure you that we can run this demo in our notebook, in editor , not cooked, it even can 40FPS. (Afterwards someone in BBS confirmed that the device is RTX2080 and 970EVO)”

So yeah, good news overall for all PC gamers out there!

    2. It is compiled through the engine, they will have to release the engine as well. When Unreal Engine 5 will be released, most likely it will come with this demo.

        1. I’m a PC gamer too and I am happy the consoles are pushing the envelope again. At least PS5 is.

    4. Are you ready for disappointment? Cus a 2080 can probably run this version at 10 to 15 fps, unless they significantly lower the polygon count for inferior PC ssds then maybe itll work

  4. Pretty impressive. Considering how much raw geometry is being pushed, 1080p60fps is still gonna look spectacular.

    1. Exactly, personally I think it is awesome! By the time the engine release or games come out that are using these features(in UE5) everyone on the PC side will most likely have a NVMe drive of some sort Gen 3 – Gen 5 so us PC gamers we will all be ready and good to go.

      Bottom line we all win: new consoles, insane PC tech, insane game engine tech in UE5, etc. All of this should produce some insane games in the future for everyone, fingers crossed.

    2. “look” the key word that bothers me.

      Is it going to play worth a sh*t or have any depth? The fact that they won’t show off the depth their engine can handle over graphics is telling.

          1. He said “The are running a VIDEO PLAYER on that laptop, playing a video of Unreal Engine 5 running on a PlayStation 5.”

            I think he’s referring to the chinese leaked video that said something regarding this. But Kim Libreri (CTO of Epic) also said this would obviously run faster on modern PC’s. And I have no doubt that’s true because a RTX 2080 blows a PS5 out of the water.

          3. Teraflops is not the only measure of performance lmao. Especially for an engine that’s gonna be so reliant on data transfer speeds (GDDR6) and voxelizations via Lumen.

            Also you realize comparing the TF of a single GPU to a whole system doesn’t make sense right? A PC will also have a CPU + all the other components of a PC

          4. You DO realise that the rest of the architecture is exactly where the PS5 has the biggest benefits compared to a PC, right?

          5. Ok now I know you’re actually trolling.

            “Architectural improvements” on the PS5 will not beat a high end CPU + GPU on a desktop or even laptop PC.

            It’s absolutely ridiculous to suggest that a console that will retail for around 500$ is going to have even close to similar levels of performance as a 700$ GPU + a high end CPU + a high end Nvme SSD. Epic’s own employees recognize this fact. And it’s not a controversial claim either.

            Modern gaming PC’s have always out performed everything else and this isn’t gonna change magically with the PS5.

          6. If you’re only talking about raw GPU or CPU power….sure. If you’re talking about the whole system? Gonna take a year or two at least.

            The PS1 had 3D acceleration 2 years before the PC got it. PS3 had a 7-core CPU when PCs only had 2. SNES was far beyond any PC at that time. It’s not the first time consoles are leaping ahead at all.

  5. Nvidia claims RTX 2080 Max-Q laptops are faster than next-gen game consoles

    He is right afterall lmao

    1. It’s always the same story with consoles. The next gen releases which does alright against the PCs but then within a year or two they are hopelessly outdated hardware.

      It might happen faster this time because when Ampere releases the next gen consoles will look slow in comparison right away.

            Yeah. That’s how things work. CCP got you working overtime on the propaganda? Not interested.

          1. Then you clearly don’t understand how the world works, let alone the Chinese. You’re naive, your opinion is pointless.

  6. im still on a gtx 1080 and dont have an nvme on my system(my mb support it but never bothered buying one my 3 sata ssd were always more than enough and i only support pcie 3.0)
    so i just need a gpu upgrade to the next gen gpu(3070 or 3080) and a good nvme drive and im set to already surpass both consoles

    im pretty sure my 9700k is also better than the cpu they are using its a cut down downclocked 3700x
    and as for ram 32gb 3200mhz is more than enough for the next 5 years

    2. Man, are you underestimating how delusional Play Station fanboys are in terms of how powerful their console of choice is.

      They literally don’t understand the difference in power between different GPUs, and willingly accepted the lie that their PS5s will be capable of 8k60Fps.

      1. That’s not quite why they’re annoying. They just think the PS5 is going to have some magical SSD secret sauce that’ll solve all of the issues the PS4 suffered from while doing something the Series X and PC can’t. In reality SSD’s are nice. They are not pivitol in game design, no matter how integral to the development process it is. If games are going to get more complex, that’s all CPU. In which case, PS5 will be the furthest behind. Not that it’s a death sentence, the Switch is behind everything and it has more compelling software than both mainline consoles combined.

        1. God no. Too many of the best characters have died or aged (poorly). DS9 doc had a low of SJW crap in it, like trying to allud to Garak being gay, which he isn’t if Ziyal has anything to say about it.

          I’d rather get a Bluray remaster (remastered footage from the doc was gorgeous). But, that’ll likely never happen. It is my favorite show, though. I go through it at least once every few months. Brilliant writing, even better character acting. One of the best shows of all time, the rest of Trek doesn’t even hold a candle to DS9.

          1. You had to bring me back down to earth didn’t you! You are of course right, it’s like you’re my twin, I highly highly agree with everything you said. If you’re a woman, I want to marry you!

            I have the entire show on my phone, I ripped all 7 seasons from my DVD collection, I also did the same with tng and voy, but I agree that ds9 is the best show ever, with the very straight and “humble tailor” Garak being that shows best character, although there are of course many great characters in that show.

            I hated the sjw junk in the doc as well, the rest was great though and the remastered footage was just wow, I doubt they’ll remaster the whole show though, considering it’s not as popular as the others…

            Still, no one will ever take the current version away from me, or ruin it with current Hollyweird lefty propaganda or do a George Lucas and for that I am grateful 🙂

            What are your favourite episodes?

          2. Too many to list. And if the SJW stuff pisses you off, go and read some of the interviews with Brooks. “How do I play a ‘black’ captain?”. Dude is an absolute Chad. Best captain, by far. Literally punches a God. Because he can.

          3. Alright, your favourite or one of your fave episodes then :p It is tough I know! One of my faves is “In Purgatory’s Shadow.” The next episode was fantastic as well, but Garak’s scene with Enabran Tain gets me every time!

            Yeah I’ve watched a lot of Avery’s interviews and panels etc, defo is a strange guy, but I’m glad he doesn’t seem like the usual Hollywoodite. It took me a long time to warm to Sisko tbh, he’s so sleepy for the first few seasons, didn’t really seem to be into it really, but his character is outstanding and Avery gives some incredible performances.

            Picard is still my fave captain (I grew up with tng after all), but Patrick Stewart is doing his best to change that with his trash politics and the awful new Picard show (STD is awful too obviously).

            I was sad when the actor that plays Nog died recently, what a character arc he had.

          4. Duet would be up there. Picking a favorite is hard when maybe 9 of the top 10 trek episodes of all time are on DS9. The following 20 also, probably all DS9. Having their set location and characters set them up to do nothing else besides hard hitting stories. Julian and the chief going into Sloans mind was also fantastic, really showed how flawed a character he is, despite his advantages. Pretty well any Sisko/Eddington episode. Loved seeing him play the dark side out of necessity. Brooks had some steller performances, especially anything going back in time like the Sanctuary districts or the wraith visions putting him back in that writing studio where the entire cast got to play someone else.

            As far as other deaths a few of the one episode guests passed away. Rene Auberjonois (Odo) was a huge loss, the sh*t that man could do with his eyes while the rest of his face had a layer of makeup on was exceptional. Easily one of the greatest character actors of all time.

          5. Yep, Duet is superb, someone always chops up onions when I watch that episode for some reason! Sloan was great huh, I really loved the whole Section 31, Bashir really shined in those episodes, for me he got a lot better once paired with O’Brien, the whole being genetically altered also helped a bunch, talking of O’rien, I love that episode when he spends decades in a virtual prison, brutal.

            Avery definitely lit up when it came to the less sci-fi episodes, I think I loved him best opposite Gul Dukat though, the one where the latter is having a schizophrenic break is good stuff. DS9 did such a good job fleshing out the Cardassians huh, what a devastating end they have, much like N**i Germany at the end of WWII.

            On a different note, I couldn’t stand Quark when DS9 originally came out, it put me off the show for about a decade, I love that guy now (along with all the Ferengi, whom I didn’t like in tng really), the episode when he marries a Klingon is hilarious (as is it’s successor), also the one where the Ferengi have to rescue Moogy from the Dominion!

            I finally gave it another go once I was tiring of my tng dvd collection, but I never looked back once the Dominion War started, holy crap that stuff gets good! Now it’s my go to show, for it to eclipse tng is really something for me, I watched that since it came out, back when I was a kid and thought Wesley was actually a good character…I also like Voyager, hey it’s Star Trek right! It for me is by far the safest of them all, but it still has some great episodes I think, but it is in third place for me.

            I’m finally going through the original Star Trek show now for the first time (oh I am very familiar with it of course and I’ve caught many episodes over the years, but this is the first time I’m watching the whole thing), yeah about time I know, it helps that it’s in HD now and the effects are all improved for sure, I’m enjoying it and I can see the genesis of everything I love about Star Trek, but I guess it’s a bit cringe for me to put it on the same level as tng’s era.

            Oh I forgot about Rene, my bad, that was sad also, for sure, Odo had a great arc, as did most of DS9’s characters to be fair (unlike many of Voy’s, poor poor Chakotay…) I think it’s because the actor that plays Nog was so young, that it hit me harder.

            If I had a least character of the main crew, it would be Jadzia, I was actually relieved when she left and much preferred her replacement, I just found her a little irritating really, of course we have since found out she left because she was being harassed by someone on the crew, so I feel a little bad feeling that way, but yeah, not a fan.

            Sorry if I’m being annoying btw, I don’t have anyone I can talk to about Star Trek really, they all think I’m weird for still loving the show so much I reckon!

          6. Jadzia sucked because she wasn’t what the show told us she was going to be. A young woman with a hell of a lot of experience and entirely unsure of herself. Ezri nailed that, all while being a lot hotter. Bonus. Alexander Siddig got to right a lot of Bashir himself. That’s why, despite his enhancements, his painfully human side always came through. He practically can’t live with it. O’Brien gave him that edge that helped him find the middle ground. O’Brien himself was great, dude suffered more in one season than any of the rest of the cast did the full series. Made of steel.

          8. ok it was honestly nice to see good convo on these forums as opposed to complaining and racism and sh*t. bravo!! also i started downloading to check it out. thanks 🙂

          9. Ah good, I’m glad you got something out of it!

            Keep in mind, DS9, as with all Star Trek’s from that era, take a couple seasons to really get going, I recommend Duet from the first season to give an idea of how good the show eventually gets on a more regular basis. It’s a slow burner of a show at first, but once it gets going, it is well worth your time 😉

          10. reading this inspired me to download and check it out. star trek deep space 9 sounds cool

          11. Easily the best Trek there is. For me, the only ‘truly’ good one.the original is a Sci-fi story. Communist BS. Future is like this yadayadayada. TNG was slow to start, but once it got going it was great. Ended poorly with some of the worst episodes in the series. Voyager has some ultra bad plot lines, and then it ends. Out of nowhere. No resolution to anything, awful character development. Enterprise was kinda interesting and had cringe in its own way, watchable. New trek is a*s concentrate.

            But DS9 is interesting. It isn’t a constant trip with new settings every episode. It centers around one place and a lot of stuff goes down. It’s the wild west of the trek shows with some of the best character actors in the franchise. Plot spans all 7 seasons with big and small stories sprinkled throuout.

            It’s best to think you’re not watching Star Trek. It’s something else entirely. One of those shows you just need to watch if you like good television.

      1. Honestly, who gives a sh*t?
        Sony is marketing and bribing hard and fanboys are grasping at straws, I’ve been over this sh*t for 4 generations now, and unlike many I don’t forget or get paid to forget.

        Sony retards will buy their sh**ty piece of plastic regardless, what’s pissing me off is Sony outright paying PC tech channels to advertise their next disappointing FIFA and Call of Duty machine.

  12. When are we going to admit that the demo was probably pre rendered, therefor pointless? Better yet, if that’s even mildly representative of gameplay, expect paper thin QTE graphics simulators. I play games to PLAY games, not watch them. Still waiting for these next Gen consoles to have that leap over previous generations like the 360/ps3 did. Just hasn’t happened yet. Casuals still way too obsessed with graphics.

      Comparing an unfinished tech demo’s performance across two very different hardware configurations and making assumptions about hardware that doesn’t exist yet based on that is a leap in logic to be kind.

  18. but we cant really compare pc and ps5 hw 1 to 1
    im gonna get the hates on this but lets take the hd 7870 the stock non pro ps4 gpu is equivalent to a cut down version of this gpu and yet i dont think this gpu perform as well as a regular ps4 since at least 2014-2015(due to drivers not being optimized for this gpu and devs not bothering making a game work on such an old gpu)

    even the 750ti was temporarily better but in newer games it seems to struggle to reach the ps4 visuals while maintaining the same performances

    of course if devs and drivers maker would support those gpu they would perform as good/better than that…but thats the issue with pc each year hardware is advancing so a game dev mostly think about current hw when they develop on the pc,but making a console version is easier to all the system having parity and the fact that consoles hw seems to have less overhead in term of OS and the board communicating with the rest of the components.

    and now before you crucify me : i play on pc,i love pc and if i had to chose only one system to play games on it would be pc anytime, i dont play on pc to match consoles i play to surpass and modify the experience the way i see fit.

    anyway i would like to see how an rtx 2080 mobile “aka rtx 2060” will run games in 3-4 years compared to the ps5/series x we can only speculate at the moment,but in my experiences:this gpu will be left behind even through it have more grunts than the ps5 gpu

      1. John you have brought your fanboying to a pc site.

        You don’t even own a pc let alone a console.

  19. How many off you can even afford a rtx2080 laptop?
    Where is the logic in a comparation between a 1500-
    2000$ laptop and a 500$ console?
    In a 500$ box you get a gpu that can be compare to rtx2080 mobile, 16gb of gddr6 and a ssd that can reach 9gb/s.
    Show me a desktop or a laptop in that price range that offers the same parformance.
    Sorry for my English. Not a native speaker.

    1. That rtx 2080 notebook is 30% faster than PS5 (40 fps vs 30 fps). Real PS5 performance is around RX 5700

        1. With a ton more features and personalization. If Sony’s track record is anything to go off of they’ll manage to bungle up the UI. Again. Something as basic as that being a chore for them since the PS3 launched isn’t confidence inspiring.

          I don’t think you understand why people buy gaming laptops. I’m not a fan of them myself, but the market is there. Not knowing that is kinda funny.

        2. You don’t need rtx 2080… that GPU is 30% faster than PS5. You can buy cheaper hardware and it sill be faster than PS5

      2. We don’t know the uncapped performance of the PS5. Could be 50fps and they capped it to 30 for consistency.

    3. A few plus for laptop, portable and can multitask 🙂
      Sure you can bring a portable tv for your PS5 but MEH

  20. This article hasn’t been taken down yet? It’s fake guys. Just someone playing a video on their laptop. Yikes! Tim Sweeney via Twitter “They playing the video on the stream. Do you see the “.mp4″ in the title bar?”

      2. In editor eh? In what form in editor? Just viewing the scene? Of course that is possible. Can it run the whole demo and stay above 30 fps? No chance. PS5 has a massive advantage at asset management. Either the tech engineer misspoke and or mistranslated or he’s lying. Tims explanation does not leave room for this being accurate.

  21. PS5 looking weaker and weaker ?????. There goes our dreams of 4k60fps, can’t even do 2k60fps. Think I might just invest in a 3080 when its out and just stick to PC

    1. You know-…Tim Sweeney himself has long clarified that that is just a video running from that laptop.

  22. Well, it runs faster than RTX global illumination so I’m going to call that a win.
    No noise or latency in the effect and better performance? Not bad.

    1. That doesn’t make any sense. There’s no such thing as “RTX global illumination.” The RTX GPU does not have a single lighting algorithm built in. It’s up to a developer, using the ray tracing APIs and corresponding shaders, to write his own light transport algorithm using rays how he sees fit. This could be a physically accurate unbiased unidirectional path tracer, bidirectional path tracer, a faster but less accurate biased solution, photon mapping, raster-ray hybrid, light probes with ray tracing for visibility determination, etc. If something is slow, it’s the developers fault.

      Epic’s solution may not be tracing any rays but that also means it’s full of tricks and hacks for performance, but there’s going to be various issues here and there and it won’t be physically accurate which may or may not matter, just depends on what you’re doing. Digital Foundry did a detailed video showing the artifacts from Epic’s solution. Honestly, I’d rather use an unbiased physically accurate path tracer found in Quake 2 RTX than what Epic is doing. That algorithm with better textures and models would give you even more realistic results.

    1. They said it CAN run on This laptop, not IS running “And I can assure you that we can run this demo in our notebook, in editor , not cooked, it even can 40FPS.”

  26. How can a laptop thats super overpriced run this at 40? Consoles will cost 500-600 and they should also be able run it.. (they claim) i smell something fishy.

    RTX 2080 laptops are ANYTHING BUT CHEAP (or close to 500..1000..1500 $)

  27. Mr Popudopulous, You regularly post misleading stuff like this…why? Tim Sweeney himself has long clarified that that is just a video running from that laptop.

  28. The original post by third party is already removed and Tim sweeney points out its a .mp4 running on laptop.

  33. So first they said it’d be better than high end pc…and now they claim that trash, joke tier MOBILE GPU OF LOW POWER CONSUMPTION can run it better than the PS5????

    The 3060, 3060, 3080, 3080Ti , 6600XT , 6700XT and 6900XT will absolutely DESTROY these 9th Gen consoles before they come out, story repeats itself but now thankfully they actually pack decent CPUs.

  34. Consoles are about the exclusive games… sony won last gen and this on the good exclusives side that’s why it was better to go with the ps3 or 4. Not the power
