Leveraging NVIDIA DLSS in Fortnite

NVIDIA DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling, is a clever technology that allows players with an NVIDIA RTX Series graphics card to run Fortnite at high resolutions while maintaining a solid frame rate. DLSS lowers the game's resolution to boost frame rate while using technology to maintain the appearance of high resolution.

Enabling NVIDIA DLSS in Fortnite

You can find the DLSS settings in the Advanced Graphics section of the Video tab. From there, you can select DLSS as either Performance, Balanced, or Quality. Performance is ideal for 4K gaming, while Balanced or Quality is better suited for 1440p resolutions.

Best Fortnite Graphics Settings for Low-End PC

If you have a low-end system, targeting 60 FPS is a good goal for smooth and stable performance. We've highlighted settings that significantly impact performance for optimal FPS.

Display

• Window Mode: Fullscreen

• Resolution: Match your monitor's native display resolution (e.g., 1920 x 1080)

• Frame Rate Limit: Unlimited

• Graphics Quality

• 3D Resolution: 100%

• View Distance: Epic

• Shadows: Off

• Anti-Aliasing: Off

• Textures: Low

• Effects: Low

• Post-processing: Low

• Set View Distance to High or Epic if possible, as visibility is crucial. If your PC struggles with Epic View Distance, experiment with lowering it.

Advanced Graphics

• V-Sync: Off

• Motion Blur: Off

• Rendering Mode: DIRECTX11

• Nvidia Reflex Low Latency: On + Boost

• Ray Tracing: Off

• Ray Tracing can significantly impact performance, so it's advisable to keep it turned off.

Best Fortnite Graphics Settings for High-End PC

High-end systems can embrace stunning graphics and high FPS for a top-tier experience.

Display

• Window Mode: Fullscreen

• Resolution: Match your monitor's native display resolution (e.g., 2560 x 1440)

• Frame Rate Limit: Align with your monitor's refresh rate to avoid screen tearing

• Graphics Quality

• 3D Resolution: 100%

• View Distance: Epic

• Shadows: Off

• Anti-Aliasing: Medium

• Textures: Medium

• Effects: Low

• Post-processing: Medium

• We recommend medium settings for high-end hardware, but feel free to experiment if your system can handle it.

Advanced Graphics

• V-Sync: Off

• Motion Blur: Off

• Rendering Mode: DIRECTX11

• Nvidia Reflex Low Latency: On + Boost

• Ray Tracing: Off

• Even on high-end systems, Ray Tracing may not be worth the performance trade-off in multiplayer games like Fortnite.

Is 60 FPS Good for Fortnite?

The ideal FPS number varies based on your hardware. Generally, 60 FPS is considered on the lower side, with 120 FPS and above considered high.

Recommended Fortnite FPS

The recommended FPS depends on your monitor's refresh rate, measured in Hertz (Hz). Match your FPS to your monitor's capabilities, typically going 10 FPS above the refresh rate for optimal performance.

Troubleshooting Lag in Fortnite on PC

Several factors can contribute to lag in Fortnite, including network issues and graphics settings. Some potential causes include:

• High FPS causing stuttering

• Slow internet connection

• Incorrect matchmaking server

• Software issues

• If you face lag, lower your FPS to troubleshoot stuttering. Check your internet connection, reset your router if necessary, and ensure you're on the correct matchmaking server. Restarting the client or performing a clean reinstall may help resolve the issue.

Embrace Fortnite Performance Mode

Performance Mode is an option for players on older PCs or those who prioritize frame rate over graphics quality. It significantly improves performance by reducing visual quality, resulting in higher FPS. To enable Performance Mode, follow these steps:

1. Open settings in Fortnite
2. Scroll down to ‘Rendering Mode’
3. Select Performance (Alpha)
4. Restart Fortnite

By experimenting with these Fortnite settings, you can enhance your gaming experience and enjoy a competitive edge in the Fortnite world.
