Pro tip: Don't import 'Highest Quality' Megascans

#1

I have a farily beefy PC: RTX 3080, 64GB RAM, and an EVO 970 M.2 SSD (separate from the OS) and the ‘Highest Quality’ megascans give pretty terrible editor performance. If I were to do it over again, for the purpose of learning and completing the course, I would probably choose ‘Lowest Quality’.

Even disabling the fancy UE5 features like Lumen, and virtual shadowmaps, I eventually had to reduce the texture size of all megascan assets to 2048. Only then did the editor performance become okay (It would stutter and dip to 46-48fps).

I have the same specs and half the RAM and not had an issue, only when making very large maps with thousands of foliage assets

#3

Highest preset is probably meant for film, anyway.
