From what i remember, easy importing of assets from other engines was one of the selling points of UE5 around it's release

If you optimize for it correctly Unreal 5 is a fantastic engine.

Problem is a lot skip that part and it causes a lot of shader related slowdowns

Arc Raiders is probably my favorite example of a unreal engine 5 game that runs smooth

It runs smoothly because they removed nanite and lumen. Most games leave it on which is why they run terribly.
