Question

[FarRisk]

Considering the game is running on UE5.
Will the performance of the game be an issue ? Are there any benchmark for the game yet ? Closed ALPHA/BETA ? I played some UE5 games, REMNANT II and STARSHIP TROOPER : EXTERMINATION.

From what I've experience UE5 is really a pain for previous gen cards to run. I have an AMD card, RX 6700XT + R7 5700X

I've never played any W40K games before, I'm quite new to the franchise, Horde Shooter or PvE type of game is my thing, considering to buy the game.

Wait till it releases and check reviews, benchmarks like Diigtal Foundry and posts here. Many UE5 games run badly for some people and fine for others, but if your personal experience with UE5 hasn't been great, this won't be different, UE5 is made for new AND future cards. Just 3 days to go, so not much to wait

From what I heard, correct me if I'm wrong.

A rather old video but this was one, among many others saying "UE 5 Games Coming Soon." Etc
All I know is its from the same studio who build WWZ back in 2019 I think.

i see.
that's the exact one i was able to find. the only one claiming it's UE5.
but the video itself is an official gameplay trailer and 2023 gamescom demo (both several months old at the time) downloaded from youtube, spliced together and reuploaded back with a random watermark slapped on top.
i'm surprised that the horrible sound and image quality didn't raise any questions for you.

as to the OP: the game runs on saber's own "swarm engine"
https://gamerant.com/warhammer-40k-space-marine-2-world-war-z-engine-features/

The reason this is possible, specifically, lies in one of Saber Interactive's previous productions: World War Z. We have our own proprietary engine at Saber which allowed us to do things in World War Z that you couldn't get from any other engine. The software makes it possible for a game to simultaneously show hundreds of interactive enemies without an apparent reduction in visual fidelity, a crucial aspect of why Space Marine 2 looks as epic and grand as it does.

devs are collaborating with AMD

with fsr 3 being promised

and have a good track record when it comes to optimization: snowrunner, world war z, both witcher 3 and kingdom come deliverence for nintendo switch.

no, there is no beta and no benchmark.
there is however info from press released limited version and it seems universally positive when it comes to game's perfomance.

so i wouldn't worry too much if i were you. your setup seems perfectly adequate.
that being said, it is always a good idea to wait for release before buying.
