Best Fortnite Graphic Settings

TL;DR For optimal performance and visibility in Fortnite, use low settings for most options, with view distance set to far or epic. Cap your FPS at your monitor's refresh rate, turn off shadows, anti-aliasing, and motion blur.

General Recommendations

Many players suggest using low settings for most graphics options to maximize FPS and minimize lag during intense gameplay moments, such as endgames [5:2][5:3]. Turning off shadows, anti-aliasing, and motion blur can significantly improve performance [5:2].

View Distance

Setting the view distance to far or epic is recommended to ensure you can see opponents and structures from a greater distance [2:5][5:2]. However, some players have noted that lowering view distance can help with visibility by reducing clutter, such as trees, which might obscure opponents [3:3][4:3].

FPS Cap and Resolution

Cap your FPS at your monitor's refresh rate to avoid unnecessary strain on your GPU [5:5]. If you experience frame drops, consider lowering your resolution to maintain a stable FPS [5:3]. For those with high-refresh-rate monitors, capping slightly below the refresh rate can provide smoother gameplay [5:5].

Additional Settings

Other settings like textures, effects, and post-processing should be kept low to medium depending on your system capabilities [5:2][5:3]. It's also beneficial to turn off NVIDIA Highlights and set power management to high performance [5:3].

Specific Player Recommendations

Some players follow professional gamers' settings, such as Tfue's, for competitive advantage [2:1]. Additionally, utilizing resources like YouTube channels dedicated to optimizing Fortnite settings can offer more tailored advice [4:1][5:1].

Hey just quick post. Seen loads of people saying their fps is shit. I found these to be the best getting a stable and easy 240fps capped and 400ish uncapped. Test in public game and zone wars. Not really good enough to get a good end game with many players but hope this helps some of you out. I use an i7 7700 and gtx1070.

Epic graphics lower frame times,epic view distance will make the game render the map 1x time and not every time as you turn like on low settings,thats why epic view distance is the best

For a competitive advantage I would use every setting low or off and view distance far but if you want your game too look better then I would turn up effects and textures to around medium to high this make your game look more attractive

TheHybred · OP · 3 years ago

dx11 gave me better performance by a noticable amount and view distance does not apply to players or player srructures so it doesn't have a negative effect when lowering it BUT I found that when standing in forested areas a lot of trees disappeared so if there was a player in the distance where that tree would've been I could've seen them, so lowering it helps visibility from afar

What are actually the best settings for Fortnite

Posted by Ryguzlol · in r/FortniteCompetitive · 6 years ago

Today I was playing the Pop-Up cup and I was at 26 points. I get a few kills and get to the late game and the ending zone is in tilted, I am top 15 at this point and I take ultimate high ground and am picking shots. At this point my FPS does a nose dive and I am getting shot down so I drop down a few levels and an enemy appears. My game totally lags and freezes up, I hit like 20 fps and he edits and pumps me in the face. I was 1 person away from top 10 for 2 pts and 1 kill away from another point so I was pretty upset.

What can I do to improve my fps? Specs:

1440x1080

Graphics: Radeon RX 580

Processor: Ryzen 5- 1400 Quad-core Processor 3.20 GH

Settings in game are all low except View Distance

I've already done most basic things like turning my AMD graphics profile to Performance and my PC to performance.

The Epic Games launcher makes a significant difference honestly, but beyond that, stretched res should give you a more stable FPS. You’re likely getting bottlenecked by your CPU though; low settings are more CPU dependent than GPU.

1 upvotes on reddit
[deleted] · 6 years ago

view distance doesn't help rendering anything past a certain distance except trees IIRC. Also close the epic games launcher once Fortnite has opened it helps usage stay lower. Lastly check and make sure your drivers are updated. Your pc shouldn't be having performance issues you have a pretty decent rig.

1 upvotes on reddit
Ryguzlol · OP · 6 years ago

So you suggest lowering view distance to low or medium? And also I play on 144hz does that lower my FPS? Cause I do have a 144hz monitor but I am not always above 144 so it might be pointless to run it if it lowers my performance.

1 upvotes on reddit
count2v · 6 years ago

If you're only running a little bit above 60 fps, then you might want to consider capping it at 60, but if you get over 90 fps, I would just stick with 144 fps cap

Cap your FPS to the most consistent you can get (mine is 240) Quality: low View distance: far or epic Shadows: off Anti-aliasing: off Textures: low Effects: low Post processing: low Vsync: off Motion blur: off

Set your power management settings to high performance too.

themariokarters · 6 years ago

All right except for the first part. Cap your FPS at your monitor refresh rate, not the most consistent you can get. Anything above your refresh rate and you’re just taxing your GPU for no reason. If you have a G Sync monitor, cap it a few FPS below your refresh rate.

TacoManTheFirst_ · 6 years ago

again your wrong too. don't cap at your monitor if it's 60hz cap at atleast 144 as you get faster response times and overall smoothness

Depends how beefy your computer is. I have a NVIDIA GTX 1060

windowed mode: full screen fps: to your monitor refresh rate Resolution: 1920x1080 (if you have to use 1600x900 and then if you still cant get more than 60fps go with 1280x720)

View distance: low Shadows: off Anti aliasing: off Textures: low Effects: medium( to see bullets from the sky when you rift otherwise, low) Post processing: off

Vsync: off Motion blur: off Show fps: on

In your general settings Turn off NVIDIA Highlights and plays off

Tomorrow I can post a picture of the settings I run for my rx6850m xt laptop gpu at 1600p. I get usually 90-110fps. Your gpu is at a lower resolution and has more power so you can probably run 120-150 with the same settings.

What’s the best performance settings for me?

Posted by imDennisV · in r/FortNiteBR · 2 years ago

Hello, I have a Ryzen 5 2600 and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060, and I’ve been messing around with the settings, but can’t find the right one without my FPS dropping or constant lag spikes. I’m not sure if it’s because I switched from DX11 to DX12.

Right now, most of my graphic settings are set to medium or high. Anyone that has similar specs would like to share their settings to me?

Best settings to get the most performance without sacrificing too much quality (a general guide to Fortnite)

Posted by Wise-Pomegranate-990 · in r/FortNiteBR · 6 months ago
post image

This is my game with these exact settings on a ryzen 5 5600x and an RX 7600 1920-1080 16:9 Vsync off DX12 (depends on your GPU) A-A & Super Resolution- TAA 3D resolution- 100% (For older graphics cards it’s better to go with TSR low and have your 3D resolution set to either 50% or 75%, this solely depends on how grainy your game is, if it’s still too grainy try 100% on TSR Low) Dynamic 3D resolution- OFF Nanite virtualized Geometry- OFF Global Illumination- OFF Reflections- OFF View distance- epic or high, if game runs choppy try medium. Textures- Low Effects- Low Post processing- (most think to keep this on low but medium or high is better for seeing loot and people far away because of depth of field. If your game is choppy low will be fine but please note that loot will not load in past 70-120 meters, and people 120-280 meters depending on your scopes zoom.) Ray tracing- OFF

Again this is a general guide for maximum performance while still not looking at a complete potato.

Alright so I lied a bit, after more testing, for mid tier to higher end GPU’s use TSR high or medium at 50-75%, for lower end GPU’s use TSR low At 50-75% or TAA at 100%. This will ensure the most stability in your frames. (Last edit) use unlimited FPS to get a feel for your frames between 1-3 games and keep an eyes on your top frames and your 99% (1%) and .1% frame rate. You want to find a decent middle ground for these frames that doesn’t cause screen tearing. For example my pc at TSR Low 50% got 340 FPS with lows between 180-290. Changing it to TSR medium at 50% got me 260 FOS with more stable 1% lows around 180-230. And .1% lows at 140. This would be the the median fps where you would want to lock in your frame rate.

best fortnite graphic settings

Key Considerations for Fortnite Graphic Settings:

  1. Performance vs. Visuals: Decide whether you prioritize performance (higher FPS) or visual quality. Lower settings improve performance, while higher settings enhance graphics.

  2. Resolution: Play at your native resolution for the best clarity. If you experience lag, consider lowering the resolution slightly.

  3. Frame Rate: Aim for a consistent frame rate of at least 60 FPS for smooth gameplay. Higher-end systems can target 144 FPS or more.

  4. View Distance: Set this to Epic to see enemies from a distance. This can give you a competitive edge.

  5. Shadows and Anti-Aliasing: Lower these settings to improve performance. Shadows can be particularly taxing on performance.

  6. Textures: If you have a powerful GPU, set textures to High or Epic for better visual quality. Otherwise, Medium is a good balance.

  7. Post Processing: Set to Medium or Low to improve performance without sacrificing too much visual quality.

  8. V-Sync and Motion Blur: Turn off V-Sync to reduce input lag and disable Motion Blur for clearer visuals during fast movements.

Recommended Settings:

  • Resolution: 1920x1080 (or lower if needed)
  • Frame Rate Limit: Unlimited (or set to your monitor's refresh rate)
  • View Distance: Epic
  • Shadows: Off
  • Anti-Aliasing: Off
  • Textures: Medium (or High if your GPU allows)
  • Effects: Medium
  • Post Processing: Low
  • V-Sync: Off
  • Motion Blur: Off

Why These Recommendations? These settings strike a balance between performance and visual quality, allowing for a smoother gaming experience while still maintaining good graphics. Adjust based on your specific hardware capabilities for optimal results.
