I would like to upgrade my hardware so that it won't drop below 144 FPS in future Fortnite tournaments. I currently have a Ryzen 7 2700x CPU and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card. But in the later course of the individual rounds I no longer have a constant 144 FPS because of the high number of surviving players. I heard the CPU is more important in Fortnite, but I don't know exactly either.
The bottom line is what should I upgrade?
Your PC seems to be sufficient in terms of the GPU and CPU, how much RAM do you have and how high is it? Do you see in the task manager under performance
Sorry for calling you so late.
In the end, it doesn't matter whether it is enough or not, because the question is ultimately which upgrade I use to gain the most performance.
I have 16GB (2xGB) DDR4 RAM and it clocks at 3200MHz.
How sad when you can't get more than 144 fps with a 1070 how bad fortnite is optimized…
For the normal consumer easy.
Just have a look at the task manager in the game and see where the bottleneck is.
How are your temperatures developing?
Are they more constant or do they keep increasing?
And what resolution do you play in?
Your setup doesn't look bad in principle (clearly better is always possible.)
Without tournaments, the games are not so "stacked" and therefore difficult to compare.
Isn't it exactly the same?
Is that it? The hardware is loaded differently, or am I wrong?
In a tournament in Fortnite or in normal Fortnite, the burden is actually pretty much the same. Whether there are a few more or less players makes up only 1%, if at all.
Well, if the zone closes and less than 1% of the map is open, around 40/100 players are still alive in a tournament, while there are 10 if at all in a normal game.
I think that makes a difference / I can feel the difference in the form of FPS drops
Now I would say it really doesn't matter.
Because rendering such a player really doesn't need much power.
The environment remains the same as in normal.
As I said, take a look at the Task Manager, it will be very clear.
To be honest, I have little idea about the temperatures. (I'm going to take a look at it). Yes, my setup is by no means bad, but it can be done better and I need / want it better, so I ask myself how I can still gain the most performance. (Resolution 1920x1080)
CPU and GPU shouldn't go over 80 degrees after one round. Then you also have a bit of buffer upwards.
Do you have msi afterburner? If not, then download it to you and switch the overlays (are they called like that?) For CPU and gpu and let one.
Then you can see in the game what is currently being used to capacity.
Yes, I'll definitely have a look at the Task Manager. (can't hurt)
I don't know how well you are familiar with Fortnite, but the problem in the end zones is that each of these 40 players builds tons of walls, floors, stairs and roofs in order not to die and rendering that costs a lot of effort.
Sounds good, I'll download it.
It doesn't really matter much, I would say spontaneously.
The bottleneck would still have to remain the same.
Then you will likely get the most performance with a new GPU. The new GPUs from NVIDIA are coming soon. Possibly one of them
