Unreal Engine 5.7 brings significant improvements over the notoriously demanding 5.4 version, tester claims — benchmark shows up to 25% GPU performance increase, 35% CPU boost

Unreal Engine 5.7 has shown significant improvements over the demanding 5.4 version, with a tester claiming up to a 25% increase in GPU performance and a 35% boost in CPU performance. A benchmark comparing the two versions using an RTX 5080 GPU and an Intel Core i7-14700F processor revealed promising results, with UE 5.7 consistently outperforming 5.4. The newer version consumed more VRAM and system memory but offered better FPS and image quality, including more consistent lighting and improved reflections. Despite past challenges with UE5's high hardware requirements, developers continue to use it due to its quality and ease of use.
