Performance Audit
$950
Find the main performance bottlenecks before committing to fixes.
- Up to 6 to 8 hours of specialist investigation
- Prioritized technical findings report
- Recommended next steps
UE4 & UE5 performance optimization
Unreal Engine running slow? Find the bottleneck. Fix the frame time.
Rendrify helps game developers and studios diagnose and resolve Unreal Engine performance issues, from stuttering and GPU bottlenecks to costly rendering passes. Every engagement focuses on measurable, documented improvements.
- UE4 & UE5
- NDA-friendly
- Direct technical expertise
- Measured results

02 / Specialization
The problems Rendrify is brought in for.
Performance only. No gameplay or feature programming, so the attention stays on where your frame time goes.
- 01
GPU and rendering bottlenecks
Expensive passes, overdraw, shadows, post processing and materials that eat the GPU budget.
- 02
Game Thread and CPU cost
Tick, Blueprint, animation, physics and draw-call submission holding the frame back.
- 03
Stutter and frame-time spikes
Hitches, traversal stutter and the spikes an average FPS counter hides.
- 04
Shader compilation and PSO stalls
First-use hitches in packaged builds and gaps in precaching.
- 05
Lumen and Nanite cost
Understanding what UE5 features actually cost on your target hardware, and scaling them.
- 06
VRAM and memory pressure
Texture budgets, streaming pool pressure and assets heavier than they need to be.
- 07
Streaming and loading
Level streaming, World Partition and load-time hitches.
- 08
Packaged build regressions
Builds that run worse than the editor, and regressions between versions.
03 / Services

04 / Process
How an engagement runs.
- 01
Describe the problem
Share the symptoms, target platform, engine version and any deadline. A short message is enough to start.
- 02
Agree a written scope
You get a recommended next step and a written scope with price before any profiling begins.
- 03
Measure and prioritize
Profiling on agreed builds and hardware. Findings are ranked by measured cost, not guesswork.
- 04
Fix, validate, hand over
For implementation work: agreed fixes, before/after validation where measurable and documentation.
05 / Who you work with
Direct access to the person doing the work.
I'm Lucas Karlsson, the technical artist behind Rendrify. I work directly with developers to diagnose and resolve Unreal Engine performance problems.
No account managers or handoffs. The person who reads your first message is the one who profiles your build and explains the findings.

07 / Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Is the first inquiry a free performance analysis?
No. The first message is a conversation about your problem, target hardware and goals. I reply with the most suitable next step. Any actual profiling happens inside a written, paid scope, which is usually a Performance Audit.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Rendrify is NDA-friendly, and most engagements run under one. Project details, numbers and builds stay confidential unless a client approves publication.
Which engine versions do you work with?
Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5, including Lumen, Nanite, virtual shadow maps and the profiling tooling that ships with each version.
Can you guarantee a specific frame rate?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who does before profiling your project. What Rendrify commits to is measurement: identifying where frame time goes, prioritizing by measured cost and validating changes before and after wherever the result can be measured.
Do you do gameplay or feature programming?
No. That is a deliberate line. The work is performance: rendering, CPU and GPU cost, stutter, memory and streaming. If the problem turns out not to be a performance one, I will say so.
Who actually does the work?
I do. Rendrify is founder-led, so the person profiling your project is the same person you talk to. There is no account manager relaying messages.
How is pricing set?
The Performance Audit is a fixed price for a defined scope. Sprints, release work and ongoing support have starting prices, with final effort and deliverables set in a written scope. Prices are in USD, excluding applicable taxes.
