Performance

Every pixel streaming setting that affects quality also affects latency, bandwidth or GPU load, and the trade-offs differ by codec, resolution, frame rate and network. Epic’s reference documentation lists the encoder and WebRTC settings; what it cannot tell you is how they behave on your hardware and your users’ networks.

The articles in this hub therefore start with measurement: what end-to-end latency actually means for an interactive stream, which numbers the engine and the browser expose, and how to record conditions precisely enough that a result can be reproduced. Tuning guides follow from that, and every benchmark published here states its hardware, software, network conditions, methodology, units and limitations.
