It turns out that this is the trump card of PS5 that helps this Console system have terrible graphics

​

The question is how will the RTX 2070 Super video card handle the demo? Technical Director of Epic Games, Kim Libreri said the RTX 2070 Super should be able to run “pretty well”. But beyond the high-end GPU, users will need some fast storage if they want to see the level of detail shown in the demo video.

Sony was laughed at for its focus on the PlayStation 5’s storage speed, and if you’re thinking that Sony just wants to shorten screen load times, that seems odd. But Sony’s focus is completely outside of screen load time, to the point where “you can take the demo images and project it on the screen even though it hasn’t fully loaded into memory yet”. in the words of Epic CEO Tim Sweeney.

In other words, the storage speed needs to be fast enough to keep up with the player, allowing the game to render objects in detail regardless of the player’s distance from the object.
​

The CEO of Epic also shared Unreal Engine 5 is being “optimized for next-gen storage. PlayStation 5 storage technology is at a “holy” level, and PCs will need to catch up quickly. That means “on a high-end PC with an SSD” and especially with NVMe SSDs, PCs will get “excellent performance” from games using Unreal Engine 5 technology.

That’s not to say that older hard drives won’t be able to handle UE5 games and the movie-like graphics quality of these titles. The idea behind UE5 is to allow developers to take in the highest quality images they have, and then automatically synchronize everything to match the hardware they are using, including the phone. . Mr. Sweeney also said that “You could render a version of this demo on a system with an HDD, but the details would be greatly omitted.”

However, if the goal is high-end graphics, then the NVMe drive will be a must-have for users. At that time, the issue was not only about how quickly players could load the Rainbow Six Siege map, but also about the detail of the environment in the game.
​

​

Storage speeds will change dramatically over the next year or two. In the short term, users should better understand the importance of UE5 when the preview version releases early next year. While it may take a few years until a game with graphics close to Epic’s UE5 demo is released, it is certain that the gaming industry will gradually reach a point when the images are of the same level of detail. That detail is no longer a novelty in games.

What’s more interesting is the amount of work that UE5 removes from the game development process. Epic says they “no longer need to brainstorm for polygon points”.​​
