OPTIMIZE YOUR PC SETTINGS FOR FORTNITE
As we also mentioned in Windows 10 optimization guide, you need to optimize your PC a bit before you play around with the game settings.
FIX 1. Update Graphics Drivers
Make sure that you have the latest Windows version as well as the latest GPU drivers.
If you don’t have the time, patience or computer skills to update Graphics drivers manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with Driver Easy. Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it, and your variant of Windows 10, and it will download and install it correctly:
Do you have a GPU from NVIDIA? Then follow these steps below.
1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Manage 3D Settings
2 Go to the Program Settings tab and locate Fortnite. If you have trouble finding it, click on Add button and search for it there (try launching the game first and close it down again before doing this)
3. Change Maximum pre-rendered frames to 1.
4. Change Preferred refresh rate to “Highest available”.
5. Change Power Management Mode to “Prefer maximum performance”.
6. Change Threaded optimization to ON.
7. Change Vertical sync to OFF.
8. Click Apply and you can now close the control panel again.
