Representative baseline
Fix the build, hardware, camera path and quality settings before capture.
Unreal Engine · Optimization
Find the expensive frame before changing the project.
Use a repeatable scene and target build to distinguish CPU, GPU and content cost, then verify the highest-priority change under the same conditions.

Example starting scope
A driving scene that drops below its target frame budget.
Bottleneck diagnosis
Use Unreal Insights, GPU profiling & stat tools, and RenderDoc / frame inspection where appropriate.
One controlled improvement
Implement an agreed fix and deliver comparable captures with a change log.
Relevant work
Japanese Drift Master · Gaming Factory
JDM provides Unreal production context for effects, shaders and optimization work. A measured performance result requires traces from the specific build being optimized.
What we check
Agree the result before implementation.
Comparable captures
Compare the same scene, settings, warm-up and hardware before and after the change.
Preserved visual target
Review image quality alongside frame time and memory.

Unreal Engine optimization questions.
Can you guarantee a specific FPS increase?
No. A target frame rate can be defined, but the achievable gain depends on the measured bottleneck, target hardware and the tradeoffs the project can accept.
Can you provide an audit without changing the project?
Yes. Profiling, diagnosis and a prioritized remediation plan can be delivered as a separate scope before implementation.
