Are ANY GPUs ready for UE5? 7900 XTX vs 4080 vs 4090 in Unreal Engine 5 Games! Ultimate Comparison!

Check out the new REDMAGIC 9 Pro Gaming Phone! bit.ly/3Gz3Fzu
So many new games will be being made with Unreal Engine 5, so let's test out the most powerful GPUs in the world vs UE5 games. But not sticking to native resolution or ultra settings. We will look at ultra, but also high, and DLSS and FSR upscaling as well as DLSS 3 and FSR 3 frame generation when available. We will also look at performance at 1080p, 1440p and 4K resolutions. All testing was done on the latest drivers and at out-of-the-box settings. The GPU cooler models were AMD reference 7900 XTX, Nvidia Founders Edition 4080, and a Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090.

I would love to see an image quality part 2 to really see the differences besides the numbers. You really do a great job showing the flickering and frame pacing issues. Right now it looks like buying a 7900xtx and overclocking it instead of a 4080 or 4090 is the best value. You can spend the saved money on a better monitor, more games or VR goodies.

[@pasha715]

about flickering, i dont say u wont notice it but if u play at smaller monitor u will notice it less, it also depends on implementation, for example in dying light 2 i barely noticed any flickering, a bit in distance but nothing major, but in cb 2077 or the last of us part 1 i did notice a lot, daniel have 40+ so he will notice imperfection even in dlss, but if implemented good, not much

[@mojojojo6292]

Or just wait for the 4070ti super which should get close to 4080 performance for around 7900xtx prices. Superior upscaling and frame gen, superior RT performance and far superior support for software outside of games. Only a month until launch.

Hopefully as we see FSR 3 progress, all will benefit. Nvidia fans will probably also benefit as I can’t imagine they’d be able to hold these current price points if the performance difference narrows between the two. Time will tell.

[@consolepcgamer6746]

7900XTX is a solid GPU but the 4090 is not the Nvidia equivalent of the 7900XTX, the 4080 is which would be $200 or $300 more in the US anyway.

[@shawn06239]

For sure, but considering the results of this review specifically, there should be no circumstance where the 7900 XTX should be beating out the 4090 given its price point. I definitely considered the 4080 but I don’t really care about Raytracing at this point, I’d rather have the extra RAM. My previous 2 builds I had great luck with AMD where they seemed to make the product better over time. So far this seems to be the case again, hopefully FSR 3 works out. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy an Nvidia card if the price to performance comes back to earth. Maybe with the Super’s coming out next year this will help to lower the 4080 to under $1000, in which case I probably would have bought it. I already can’t believe I spent what I did for a video card, damn times have changed. If this stays as the status quo, I really think they will drive a lot of PC gamers back to consoles. Sucks for us, I don’t think the manufacturers care though and are laser focused on AI unfortunately. Just my two cents.

[@Quxer0721]

In Poland we have those prices (the lowest I could find): - RX 7900 XTX - 1085,99$ - RTX 4080 - 1325,91$ - RTX 4090 - 2323,51$ Those prices are so bad. I don't think I would go for either of those, at those prices, but RTX 4080 being 22% more expensive than RX 7900 XTX won't be compelling to buy. 10% max would be acceptable, cause of "features". I hope AMD will go for FSR with AI support for RX 7000 series and newer. If they could boost image quality and maybe a little bit more performance, that would be a good shake up in the market. I think Xess was good with making different algorithms depending on card it is used on. At first I thought it was stupid, but making optimisations for specific hardware isn't bad. With future revisions there can be serious competition, which will only benefits consumers.

[@Unearthlywhales]

It's not about the engine, it's about the developer and their technical knowledge / target machines. I'm a tech-artist and unfortunately a lot of people outside but also developers on the inside do not understand how games really work that well. In a sense you can make a game in UE5 that works on a 12 year old machine just fine. Hell probably even older depending on some of the DirectX/Shader issues that might pop up. It's all about how well developers optimize and spend time on proper set up game systems and visuals.

[@Kapono5150]

I’m soo thankful I got the Zotac AIRO Extreme 4080 for 1000 new when I did. It’s kinda crazy how it’s 1400 bucks now

[@vtt5000]

I miss those times when we could just set the resolution and just play. Now there's like a bunch of stuff you need to be aware of even with a $2000 graphics card to even break 60fps. DLSS / FSR / VRR / Frame Gen what have you. What happened? Did our hardware just take a dump all of a sudden or are game devs being lazy in optimizing their games in UE5 so we need upscaling to make up for it.

[@Davinmk]

vrr btw doesn’t have to do with performance

[@pasha715]

if this trend continue u wont be able to have 60 fps even on 4090 at 4k native, yes dlss looks good but there are people that can notice imperfections, if u game at 40+ tv, u will def notice it, and its not 4k anymore, not true 4k, it might looks similar but in reality it will be 1440p

Ive been doing environment art with unreal for a while and UE5 has been very difficult to optimise until 5.3 which only just came out. Even shadows were in beta until September and not production ready. The performance on foliage is especially expensive and really only usable since 5.3. I can get decent performance now so i think things will get a lot better soon.

[@steve42069master]

What made UE5 so difficult to optimize until 5.3?

[@case384]

@@steve42069master Basically if you want to use Nanite in UE5, you need to use virtual shadows, but Epic hadn't finished them and they were in Beta. They said they were not production ready, which is a pretty big deal when it comes to performance and there weren't many options to tweak things. I'm surprised anyone has even released a game. The performance with static shadows, or shadows which update periodically for time of day was okay. But when you need to use world position offset materials, mostly used for foliage to move in the wind, it would mean the virtual shadow map cache would be constantly invalidated which tanks performance. They've finished shadows since 5.3, increased masked materials performance by 20% and added options which allow you change shadow settings.

[@longjohn526]

While somewhat true the entire point of using someone else's game engine is most of the optimization is supposed to be up to the game engine developers not the end users ..... With major investment and input from Sony and CDPR it should get better as their software engineers add to and improve to the code base and show the UE5 developers more efficient ways to do things. CDPR are probably the most experienced group of developers when it comes to Ray Tracing technology and that should bleed into the UE5 code base as CDPR uses Ue5 for their next generation of games. Sony has pumped a lot of money into UE5 and their studios also have some pretty elite game engine developers and they are going to demand more efficiency so UE5 is usable on moderately powerful consoles .....

[@berkertaskiran]

If you want less visually impressive games you can just turn down settings, you know.

[@Adrian-is6qn]

​@@berkertaskiran The point is that it's possible to make a visualy great games without needing insane hardware it's been proven time and time again in the past. You just need to optimize the game and put in the work and hours to do it properly. The way the devs do it lately is just rely on excessive power of new GPU's and brute force things into working and it doesn't work the messes we've seen in 2023 prove that. It's not just UE5 this is industry wide problem these days but in UE5 it's pretty much present in every title so it's more apparent. As they say "Where there's will there's a way" it's possible to optimize games and engine the devs have simply grown fat and lazy. It's also a mentality issue from what i hear these days the devs don't want to be responsible for anything so there's no accountability for them, it's always team issue and nothing gets done, i heard original Fallout lead speak about it lately.

Anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of rendering knows that the issue isn't about "being ready for UE5". UE5 is just an engine, you can make a 2D sprite sidescroller with it. Its not one set of visuals or demands. In fact, UE5 is generally FAR more efficient making on-par rendering to older engines. Its capable of massive fidelity leaps because of its efficiency. What your question really is... is are any gpus ready for future visual fidelity? The answer is... yes. They absolutely are. The main issue right now is optimizing these excessive leaps in visual fidelity which will take some time, but over time even these current GPUs (upper 7000 series and 4000 series) will handle them very well.

There are a lot like A LOT of people that still paly on 1080p displays so I believe is safe to say that all gpus are ready for UE5. The thing with UE5 is (not far from now) that devs can tinker it a lot to deliver same graphics with less impact on hardware, meaning higher frames. The issue is and will always be on pcs, as we all know, the consoles have some sort of a better optimization for the games. I know you will say that there are ale sorts of upscale algorithms , that the games are not running natively 2k/4k/whatever but is there any way you can tell in a real life situation that the graphics are altered? No, because we play on bigger screens from a bigger distance, meaning we cannot really see the graphics going...well...down in resolution. I can never tell on my series x when the graphics are altered to provide the same amount of fps. The thing with pc's is that...two identical pcs will have different performance due to the user. Dlss will get better, Fsr will get better, frame generation and so on will get better and we will be able to get decent priced hardware and play whatever we want. The 4090 is a powerful enough piece of hardware than can run any game at over 60fps with no sweat, if that game is 100% optimized. The pc games devs are just lazy, knowing that the pc hardware is more powerful than console's one.

And whats even worse is the physics, movement feels unnaturaly fast, cutscenes are weird, objects are not interacting with each other properly, like for example when you wear a cape on your back and a sword, it just goes through it like in a game from 15 years ago and so many other glitches even after many patches to the games.

This is not new when a new game engine comes out and the games that use that engine are hard to run. Now the easiest thing to do for any gpu especially modern gpu's then more so high end gpu's is to turn the settings down to native 2k or native 4k and medium or high settimgs with or without ray tracing depending on the game.

I have a 6900XT, very close to the 7800XT in performance, lined up with a 5800X3D on a 1440p monitor, and it feels like a nicely balanced setup to me. The 7900XT is a nice bump above either card but it isn’t a huge necessity in my mind unless you specifically want to game in 4K.

@@kenshirogenjuro873 i need a balance between cpu and gpu, will be playing at 1440p.

[@Void-uj7jd]

1440p you should go for the 7800XT for sure@@11Modern11

[@kenshirogenjuro873]

@@11Modern11 it’s a tough call, I wouldn’t say either is a wrong decision. The 5800X3D should be solid for a good while longer. At 1440p, the 7800XT is the better balance today. The 7900XT probably becomes the better balance after a year or two. By which time there will be newer cards anyway.

Hopping to see a video on that mod that combines DLSS upscalling with FSR 3 frame gen for 20/30 series card owners.

I find it suspicious that cards are built with different dies and different amount of memory and power but perform so close to one another.

Ok Sherlock, please tell us what conspiracy u have uncovered now

[@ardi1606]

So 7900 XTX=4080, While the 4090 is unmatchable in UE5?

[@MrAnimescrazy]

Yup

[@peoul1]

ofc they more eficien right? have realy good grafik with high fps and low specs needed. right? right?

[@BoBxPaiN]

what is better to buy rtx 4080 for 1030 euro or rx 7900 xtx for 960 euro

[@MrAnimescrazy]

What are the rest of your specs? What is the resolution and settings you want to play?

[@BoBxPaiN]

@@MrAnimescrazy i have amd ryzen 7800x3d 32g ram I have an oled 4k tv and 2k monitor maybe i will upgrade it for 4k one after one or two years

[@BoBxPaiN]

so i want to play high or ultra settings 4k maybe raytracing if i find it way better in term of the visuel experience

[@MrAnimescrazy]

@@BoBxPaiN i would go with the 4080. I have an all white build with the gigabyte aero oc 4090/ 7800x3d/ 64 gigs of dfr5. I play on my lg c1 65 inch 4k oled tv.

Get her (the wife) the S24 Ultra! I also recommend the Pixel 8 (what a bargain!)

[@pozytywniezakrecony151]

Games look seriously good these days.

[@AlAzulski]

GPU avg. both nvidia is running more hz then XTX. Clock the XTX to 2700hz then compare equal pls.
