As you can imagine, being an engine designed specifically for the new generation of consoles and computers, Unreal Engine 5 requires a hardware too powerful to work properly. If you have a PC capable of moving projects developed in said engine with ease, this news will interest you: PC Gamer has reported that EzBenchand benchmark free designed for UE5, is now available for Steam.
The benchmark measure the consumption and performance of computer components with a technical demo set on a small island. EzBench is designed as a demanding test to measure the stress of the PC, although its managers point out that it is still under development and that big games developed in Unreal Engine 5 will have better optimization. So that you get the idea, EzBench includes high resolution textures -up to 8K- and support for ray tracingin addition to a multitude of particles and various effects so that any PC will break a sweat if it is put to the test.
Requirements to test the benchmark
The creators of EzBench The following components are recommended for testing: Intel 7th generation CPU or equivalent and GTX 1080 GPU or equivalent (RTX 20 or Radeon RX 6000 GPU for ray tracing) with 8GB of VRAM. The space required on the hard drive is approx. 19.5 GB approxa considerable size considering that it is only a technical demo and that makes us fear for our hard drives when the titles of large companies begin to arrive.
