Try the impressive Unreal Engine 5.1 demo – walk through a desert oasis on your own sandals

Time and time again, Unreal Engine 5.1 shows that the time of photorealistic game backgrounds is not far away. Let’s take a look and walk through a sunny oasis in the desert, where the water surface glistens and palm trees gently sway in the wind. An ideal environment for quiet contemplation in the evening, sipping your favorite drink and simply being. At least for that one evening, right? However, to enjoy it properly, we will need at least an RTX 2080 at a resolution of 1920 × 1080, for higher RTX 3080 is recommended. RTX 4080 and 4090 owners can rest easy and continue sipping their daiquiri.

My undervolted RTX 2080 sweats blood in FHD, especially at maximum quality. Reducing the TSR (Temporal Super Resolution, similar to FSR or DLSS) to “balanced” will increase the images to values ​​around 30 to 40. However, to admire it, it is enough to walk around the lagoon, admire the palm trees, and on top of that, you can also record the night view of the oasis. There you will find a nice bonfire where you can think about upgrading the graphics. The demo is available for download here or directly below the video above. In addition to caressing the soul, it is also a solid test of whether your overclocked graphics will be stable.
