How much FPS do I need for Fortnite?

For a competitive edge, 144 FPS or more on Competitive settings is the sweet spot — it matches the refresh rate of the most popular 1440p gaming monitors. Casual players are perfectly happy at 100+ FPS on High settings.

Is Fortnite CPU or GPU limited?

At 1080p on Competitive settings Fortnite is usually CPU limited, so a fast processor matters as much as the graphics card. At 1440p and 4K the GPU takes over as the limiting component.

Can a mid-range PC run Fortnite at 1440p?

Yes. Every build on this page is stress-tested and will run Fortnite at 1440p — the table above shows the average frame rate you can expect from each one before you buy.
