"Hey guys, just spent the last week trying to optimize my UE5 project and I'm hitting a brick wall. My CPU's got plenty of headroom but my 3080 Ti's always maxed out, causing a 60-100 FPS drop in complex scenes. Anyone have any solid GPU bottleneck fixes or tips to share?"

"I'm having issues with 30 FPS drops in UE5 too. Have you guys tried tweaking the 'Quality' settings in the Render Frontend section of the project settings? Also, make sure you're not using too many high-poly assets."

"Been there, bro. If I recall correctly, you might wanna try adjusting the 'LOD Distance Multiplier' and the 'Terrain Complexity' under World Settings. Also, check if your GPU is up to snuff and make sure you're running the latest drivers."

"Yo, I've had similar issues when rendering high-poly models. Try reducing your scene complexity or switching to a more efficient rendering path like DLSS. Also, check if your GPU drivers are up to date, it might be a simple fix"

"Been there, dude. I'd recommend checking out the 'Lod Groups' feature in UE5, it's helped me reduce GPU load by a ton in some of my past projects. Also, make sure you're not culling too many objects with 'Scene Hierarchy' and 'Draw Distance' optimization."

"I've been having the same issue with my RTX 3080 and UE5, and I found that reducing the number of concurrent ray tracing instances in the project settings really helped cut down on GPU usage. Also, make sure you're not overloading your GPU with too many dynamic lights. Might be worth checking out those tweaks."

"Hey guys, I've had some good luck with optimizing 3D performance in UE5 by using multi-threaded rendering and tweaking the GPU workload settings in the project settings. Also, make sure you're not overloading your GPU with too many textures and assets - that can slow it down big time."

"Hey guys, have you tried enabling multithreading in UE5? I just did it and saw a noticeable boost in performance, especially when rendering complex scenes. Anyone know if there's a way to optimize GPU usage without killing performance on CPU?"

"Lol, I've been dealing with the same issue on a project. Turning off Dynamic Global Illumination and Physics-Based Rendering in the Rendering Settings helped me squeeze out some extra FPS. Anyone know of any decent plugins to streamline mesh optimization?"

"Dude, I've been dealing with similar issues in UE5. Have you tried reducing the quality settings of your static meshes? It can make a huge difference, trust me, I reduced my polycount and saw a noticeable bump in FPS."

"Hey guys, have you considered tweaking your GPU utilization settings in the Engine Settings? I had a similar issue and switching from 'Max' to 'Target' GPU utilization helped improve performance slightly. Anyone try using NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR?"

"Y'all, I feel ya on the GPU bottleneck in UE5. Have you considered using a more efficient graphics setting, like dynamic resolution scaling or reducing the number of draw calls? It might help ease some of the load on your GPU."

"Hey OP, have you tried tweaking your render scale and detail levels? I found that cutting back on some of the higher-end details and baking them into textures can help reduce GPU load. Also, experimenting with different light settings can help optimize performance."
