Fortnite has a dedicated low-end rendering mode that makes a big difference on older hardware.
Before you tweak: back up your files and create a system restore point (search "Create a restore point" in Windows). Results vary by hardware and game.
Step by step
- Rendering Mode: Performance (lower graphical fidelity, much higher FPS), or DirectX 12 on stronger PCs.
- View Distance: Medium or Far, depending on your hardware.
- Shadows, Effects, Post Processing: Off or Low.
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: On + Boost.
- Frame Rate Limit: match or slightly below your refresh rate.
- Apply the Windows basics: power plan, Game Mode and updated drivers.
