EPIC: The geometry in the PS5 UE5 demo is only as GPU intensive as Fortnite on consoles.

Why was it 1440p then?
the real unachievable thing from the demo a game coming anywhere close to that level of textures tbf

What else are they supposed to talk about when it comes to next-gen consoles and UE5. This demo is literally the only thing they've shown.
What a load of marketing bollocks, next thing they'll say is the PS5 will power up the next Space X shuttle with 10% of it's gpu power and ssd
They used reconstruction techniques to achieve 4K if I'm not mistaken.
He's specifically talking about the geometry budget and how it's equivalent to rendering the geometry in Fortnite. He's basically bigging up the Nanite tech.
So, with Nanite, rendering the geometry of the UE5 demo at 1440p/30 is about equivalent to rendering the geometry for Fortnite at 4K/60 on current gen.

i remember them explaining pixel and polygon counts were tied in some way or how they scale so maybe resolution was a limitation of geometry being drawn and streamed through the IO pipeline?
They absolutely did. They showed a demo that showed off how fast i/o streaming can change how we handle on screen rendering. The engine has literally been rewritten in parts around this. It's a major shift in tech.
Thats actually a question I wouldn't mind answered too. This could have run at 8k if its only as intensive as fortnite lol
did they happen to say what those techniques were by any chance?
curious if they used checkerboard rendering or something else.
Ah thanks. Kinda baitey title given tech demo ran at internal 1440p resolution at 30fps.
What do you think? The GPUs in the current gen consoles were never the problem. (or at least never as big a factor as their cpus)
And the demo running at 1440p 30fps doesn't help support their claim either.
It also does your taxes and invests your money in a diversified portfolio while walking your dog.
Because that's gonna be the resolution for most Xbox and ps5 games probably
This, but I suspect people aren't going to understand that and just call it "marketing bollocks" instead.
Actually, the SSD is so fast that geometry that is not visible doesn't have to be computed/ rendered, freeing up massive amounts of budgeted resources for only what you see. It's using occlusion to the max because you can cycle in and out of memory only the geometry that is visible on screen without any noticeable hitching/ loading.
In past consoles, you would load in all of the geometry for a room/ scene at once and that would need to sit in memory until you reached the next loading zone which triggers the dump of those assets and the loading on new assets.
Because the loading can be done so quickly, there are technically no loading zones. Data is always loading. And because you don't have to budget for all assets in the zone at once, you can use the highest of high quality geometry which uses more memory and takes more resources to display on screen.
Sony reacting to backlash over "marketing agreement" has signed another agreement to make people think there's no agreement.
I'm onto them...
I didn't see them commenting on it anywhere...but Digital Foundry said they did the pixel count and it's very difficult to differentiate it from native 4K, so it worked.
What the fuck?
Their entire business model revolves around this engine.
One day we will see someone say that SSD will improve Ray tracing performance.
This tech is still what makes me the most skeptical when it comes to UE5.
Unreal's auto-generated LODs have always been awful, so I don't trust this tech to be much different. From a distance I imagine things will look great, but I worry that once the camera gets close to the geometry it's going to be a mess.

This. You guys are not understanding what they are actually saying. They are saying that handling of the geometry ONLY is as taxing as it is in FortNite. This doesn't account for all other areas, where there are more than likely huge differences from FortNite.
