Fortnite CPU or GPU heavy?

Is Fortnite, especially in the endgame where many are still alive, CPU or GPU heavy? And would you recommend an I7-10700K or a Ryzen 7 3800x? Both with water cooling

I would bet on both.

The CPU is more stressed as soon as you have many objects in a small area. In the endgame there's often a lot of construction, so the FPS can throttle a bit. Both CPUs are more than sufficient for Fortnite, it then depends on which graphics card you will have.

Fortnite is more CPU-intensive, but the engine is rather poorly programmed or not particularly good in terms of FPS. Even the best PCs sometimes have difficulties in the endgame and that has gotten a little worse every season so far. Fortunately, there's now a performance mode, even if it doesn't look particularly fancy.

I would take the AMD processor in your place. In the CPU area, AMD will be the future and is already better in some areas.

Unreal Engine is more on the CPU in most cases. The graphics cards are not to be underestimated since RTX.

First of all thanks for the quick answer. I'm thinking of getting a 3060ti from Palit Dual or a 3070 from Gigabyte, which costs me a lot more. I have a 240hz monitor so I would like to have 240fps more often (without endgame). Is the Rtx 3060ti enough there?

rh

Naturally. You will likely have more than 240 even if you don't have all of the graphics settings at their maximum. Even at the maximum, there are 240 in it.

Gi

Okay thanks. I get 350 euro cheaper with a 3060ti and a ryzen than with an I7 and a 3070

Happy new year to you

rh

Yes, you come. The difference in performance between 3060ti and 3070 is also there.

Gi

In what way? Is the difference in performance very big?

Gi

Okay thanks, I wish you a happy new year too.

Here you can compare the two GPU'S (RTX 3060TI vs. RTX 3070) and the two CPUs (R7 3800X vs i7-10700k):

So 3060ti and 3070 is not very much air, but with the CPU'S.

rh

And since the i7 is not really much more expensive than the R7, I recommend buying the i7 in combination with the 3060 ti.

rh

You too.

Okay, then I'll think about it and take another look at everything and then I'll make up my mind.
