Since the new season in Fortnite, I've often had the problem that the textures don't load, high Fps Drops Laggs. My CPU is mostly between 90-100% full. I play everything on low, viewing distance on medium and 3D resolution on 100%
My cpu: I5 3470
Graphics card: GTX 1650 Super
12 GB RAM
256GB SSD (there's Fortnite installed)
Can I fix it somehow?
Did you build your tower PC yourself or not? You can better order and install CPU on the Internet!
So you think it's my CPU and not Fortnite?
More like your CPU. It is quite old and not really meant for gaming. If I were you I would sell the mainboard and cpu and buy a cheap b450 board with a ryzen 5 2600.
Okay thanks for how much money can I still sell? What's still worth it
Which mainboard do you have?
And just look at eBay classifieds how much the components are still worth.
Dell 084j0r
But this is not a mainboard xD
Edit: apparently already… Didn't know that dell manufactures motherboards…
I have the standard mainboard from the PC: Dell Vostro 270. Thought the mainboard is so called. Not wrong: Sorry.
Oh well, okay
Think it is because there are currently no large textures loading problems in fortnite known play the game itself actively!
How much would you sell CPU and motherboard for?
This is actually due to your CPU.
I used to have the same problem with my old i5 6500.
Think it's your CPU. Not much more for them. Nothing more actually.
Your graphics card is a beginner graphics card but not that bad.
Recommend you:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
B450 MSI Pro Max
16 GB 3200Mhz RAM from G.Skill
Everything costs about 300 euro and is also worth it. What power supply do you have?
OK thanks.
Then something new is needed
Unfortunately only a 300 watt Dell power supply
Hm then a new power supply will probably have to be found. What kind of memory do you have?
The question is whether it is worth upgrading or saving directly on a new PC. In your case I would sell the graphics card and buy a new pc straight away. Can you assemble it yourself or finished pc? Budget?
Or do you want to try your PC with an upgrade?
Just enter the names of the CPU and mainboard on eBay and look how expensive they are sold
Could build it myself but unfortunately currently don't have the money to buy a completely new PC
Budget: As cheap as possible
Hm oke. So please say memory hdd ssd?
Edit: What do you want to gamble on?
1TB HDD, 256 Gb SSD
Gambling: mostly Gta5, Forza Horizon 4, Fortnite
You can play at 720p, but it doesn't look that good - but I think it's better than lag
The CPU should still be enough for e Sports titles

Your PC is better than this one, apparently it is also running smoothly. Are all drivers up to date? Temperatures? Is the CPU clocking correctly and the GPU too?
Ok The memory is quite ok.
Windows on the SSD and big games on the HDD.
With the suggestion:
Housing - yours
HDD - yours
SSD - yours
GPU - your 1650S
Mainboard: B450M Pro-VDM MAX.
about 75 euro
RAM: 16GB 3200Mhz G.Skill
about 60 euro
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (future-proof) or the weaker Ryzen 5 2600
around 165 euro / around 140 euro
Be quiet Pure Rock 2 Black
about 35 euro
Power supply: be Quiet Pure 11 500W
about 65 euro
Total: 400 euro (calculated with the Ryzen 5 3600). So that all games can play for a few more years on Mid Settings (60Fps +)
But have to see that the kphker etc. Fits into your housing.
Ok thanks for the detailed help. Then I'll take a look at these things.
Temperatures never over 70 degrees, clock: always at 3.39 GHz when playing, driver current
"My CPU is mostly between 90-100%"
This is normal for an i5, the temps are also normal
Do you have much less FPS in higher resolutions or do they stay relatively constant?
Not much less. Maybe 20 fps less. But it is often still for 1 second and it is always jerky. No matter what trigger. I'm just surprised. Are these stutters normal? I also often have the problem that the sound is so. So that he is short or arrives late
Are these stutters normal? → no
Last question, were the stutters already there before the new season or did they just get there?
Only since this season
Then it is almost certainly due to the game - a new installation could help in this case. If you did a graphics card driver update at the time the new season came out, it could also be because installing a slightly older driver could also be the solution. Just test both (first option, then reinstallation)
Okay thank you very much. How can I install an older driver again?

Goes faster than explaining it 😁
Okay thanks for all your help. Will now try that with the driver and if it doesn't work, I'll reinstall the game. I hope that everything will go as it was before
No thing, good luck with it. Can you answer again if it worked ✌
I have now installed an older driver, but it is still unchanged. Now I will try the reinstallation and hope that it works. Small question: I remembered that I have 2 different ram speeds. Could it have something to do with it?
Buy a new CPU at least the ryzen 3 3300x or 5 3600 best then also a b550 mainboard so that the 3000 Ryzen also run best
If one bar has 3000mhz and the other only 2400 (e.g.) the 3000 bar is clocked down to 2400.
Are the bars running in the dual channel? So you used the correct slots on the mainboard (if you have more than 2) the latches are usually allowed. Do not stick next to each other if you have 4 slots
Have dual channel and only 2 slots. Then I wait until the new installation is finished and then log in again
Jo I keep my fingers crossed for you.
1230v2 would fit on a non z board
BUT
if you don't play 144hz the cpu DICKSTENS is enough for fortnite!
I have now reinstalled and tested the game. And now everything works as before. The only thing is that sometimes the weapons at the bottom of the quick bar don't load but always only briefly and then they're there. I don't know how to thank you for your great help. Thank you thank you thank you. I'm so glad that someone like you could help me so well to come up with the solution.
No problem, nice that it works again 😄
