10000x4d + 5090. Problems persist.

ofc they presist on those imaginary hardware parts

What do you mean by a standard Graphics?
For my point of view my rig it's just mid or upper-mid, not high end setup.
gpu: rtx 4070 Ti
cpu: i7 13700k (overclocked)
RAM: DDR5 32 gb 6000 mt
ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI
SSD Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2
I'm paying on Asus PG27AQDM.

I built this pc 2 years ago, right now in my country I can pay about the half for same rig.
Two or three years more and probably, I'll change my setup for something much better.

Never had issues with a UE5 build game, people complaining about that should take a good look at their own pc's

its not the issue with UE5, its a dev issue. Black myth for example, horrible performance because they didnt have time to optimize the game.

It had Denuvo running at all time. Its like imagine you load a AAA game, and then you also load Terraria in the background. More CPU/GPU/RAM usage just for the anti-virus program to keep tracking and scanning your game in real time.

As Wallty stated and as Micromanner states, individual experiences with games build on the UE5 engine are completely different, whatever the cause is, i can only assume it is with the user. Nowadays you have so many different components that fine tuning them without knowledge of how they internally communicate is a nightmare. Most of the shelf pc's are a complete mess because of this. I have no issues because i selected components which i know are of good quality (not specifically the amd or intel or whatnott) but the producer of the motherboard, graphics card, memory, and ssd.

No one with any gaming knowledge should expect anything else from a game powered by UE5, especially when the developers have not pursued a custom development approach that overcomes the known limitations of UE5 (asset streaming, garbage collection, and PSO/shader generation management) in its default or stock state. So, be ready, for another #StutterStruggle example, my only hope is it will be slightly better than the Silent Hill 2 (2024) stutter fest.

I have a 3090 24GB, 64GB Ram and a I/7 8700K 3,7 6 cores and i play the games 2K on a gaming monitor. I don't have problems plying games ultra or very high like Cyberpunk, SW outlaws, RDR2 and more but with this beast i don't know. I hope at least i could manage to play it High or Very high no Ultra of course. But if i don't like what i see when the 5000 will go out like next year or so i could find the 4090 cheaper second hand so i would buy 4090 change my CPU and play ultra. If this game is so beautiful and it would have the best graphics for a FPS and maybe for a game it would look good on high and very high too. I hope so anyway. I guess we would see all tomorrow. Some thoughs of mine a very old time gamer.

Its not the UE5.
The optimization is ridiculous. Pop-ins, texture flickering, crashes(UE crash report), memory leak(suddenly fps goes to 10 fps), textures not looking ok, cutscene performance is abysmal.

Black Myth Wukong was on UE5 and was such a good game and functioned well.
GSC go learn from Game Science. Their first game was a banger.

Black Myth Wukong was on UE 5.0. STALKER 2 uses a newer version either 5.1 or 5.5? Plus Lumen and Nanite plugins. Right now it's the most advance UE5 game. Also the scope of STALKER 2 is massive compared BMW.
