Why Unreal Engine Is So Heavy?

[FrozenDevilz]

Almost every games I played that's using UE are lag as hell, even though at the lowest settings with usually 800x600 res, anybody knows why?
I mean I've tried different games that's using different engines, I can run normally even at medium settings with 1080x720 res.

What games? What are your system specs?
The Unreal engine is GPU heavy, so having a good/decent GPU is normally enough to run a game.

Umm, this are my system specs: http://i.imgur.com/XOFMWUW.png
No wonder UE is very heavy for me.

But I can still run csgo & dota 2 on medium settings with around 30 fps :(

30? 60 fps is recommended.

I run csgo all low and I get 75-150 fps ( medium 45-90fps)

Those games have pretty low requirements. It tells you how bad your PC is if you manage to only get 30FPS.

No you don't understand.
What I mean is when I'm playing other games I still got decent fps, when I'm playing games that's using UE, I only got around 10 fps which is pretty much a hell.

That's because Source is "lighter" on resources than UE.

Umm, no.
Take example of Kraven Manor, that game uses UE3, only take space up to 1gb, which means it got much fewer resources than dota 2 & csgo, which take space more than 5gb.
But when I tried to run it, my gosh, the fps is much slower than dota 2 & csgo, even after I put all to the lowest settings.

Dota 2 is a pretty bad standard to hold other games up to. Phones could probably play it.

[Cathulhu]

Smaller games does not mean they require less system ressources to run the game.
Game size says nothing about performance requirements.

[Mr. Rubber Ducky]

UE is heavy because GabeN tried to model Heavy there.
Get it?

I love it how FrozenDevilz is happy with 30fps and would be very grateful for anything above that...we need more people like you FrozenDevilz.

Size of a game has nothing to do with the resources it uses.

For example:

CS:GO
Graphics: Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for Pixel Shader 3.0

Kraven Manor:
NVIDIA 6200 / ATI Radeon 9600

The 6200 is a 512 MB card, so Kraven Manor has higher system requirements then CS:GO when it comes to the GPU.

Seeing as yours only has 64 MB dedicated video ram, you shouldn't be able to run either, though I suspect your system uses your system ram in addition to the dedicated ram.

So it has nothing to do with the game engine?
