Fortnite Optimization
For a competitive multiplayer game like Fortnite, performance is king. Even though Fortnite is well optimized, there are a few Fortnite recommended settings to turn off to give you better performance. There are also settings - from changing key bindings to controller sensitivity - which we don't talk about in this article. We will be talking about gaining better performance.
1. How to change Fortnite Settings
Getting access to the Settings page in Fortnite is straightforward. On PC, go to the lobby - which is the screen where you can decide the type of match you want to play, or jump into Challenges and so forth - then click the sandwich icon in the upper right corner of the screen to bring up settings.
On PS4 or Xbox One, this is much the same. Pressing the the Options / Menu button (the right most of the 'middle' buttons) in the lobby will bring up a variety of settings.
From there, select the Cog button, as highlighted in yellow, to jump into the Settings page.
If you have a good or better setup, this is our recommended settings for maximum Fortnite FPS :
Here's what each of these setting above means in details below:
Window Mode: This can allow you to interact with other windows easier, so you can minimize Fortnite to check something else. Might not be as useful on a dual-screen set-up, and as the Fortnite explains, "in full screen we can save memory and render slightly faster".
Display resolution: Generally, the lower your resolution, the better your performance will be. If your device supports it, a minimum of 1080p is recommended.
Frame Rate Limit: This caps Fortnite's performance at a certain frame rate, such as 60 FPS or 120 FPS. If it's something in-between these two, then the varying performance can be off-putting, so many prefer to keep things at 60 FPS.
Quality: This is a quick way to set all the below settings at once. We'd recommend ignoring this and tinkering with graphics settings individually.
View Distance: The higher this is, the more you can see. Turning this down can give you a performance advantage, but only on slower devices, and in a game of Fortnite where seeing as much as possible is ideal, we'd recommend setting this as high as possible.
Shadows: This is a visual-only benefit that can also "allow better depth perception", according to Fortnite. Unless you have a fast graphics card, turning this down is highly recommended for the performance benefits it brings.
Anti-Aliasing: The higher this is, the smoother visuals will be, reducing 'jaggied' edges. This can see a hit on performance, so reducing or turning off can see Fortnite run smoother.
Textures: These "give flat objects a more detailed appearance", according to Fortnite. The higher it is, the better objects will look, but doing so requires a more powerful graphics card. Depending on your set up, you could have this on medium or high without a significant impact on performance.
On PS4 or Xbox One, this is much the same. Pressing the the Options / Menu button (the right most of the 'middle' buttons) in the lobby will bring up a variety of settings.
From there, select the Cog button, as highlighted in yellow, to jump into the Settings page.
2. Best Fortnite PC-MAC settings to Increase FPS
Everyone has a different setup, so we can't give the best settings that will increase FPS for everyone. Effects And Textures could be increased if you have a good computer - though people like to disable Shadows and Motion Blur and they are widely suggested to disabled regardless of your computer setup.

3. Fortnite Settings For XBOX - PS4
Inside Fortnite Settings, look for an option saying '60 FPS' underneath controller's sensitivity(blue gauges).When on, "smooth game-play over visual quality" is prioritized. Means the game will run even faster and closer to 60 FPS - which is the golden standard for online multiplayer games.Window Mode: This can allow you to interact with other windows easier, so you can minimize Fortnite to check something else. Might not be as useful on a dual-screen set-up, and as the Fortnite explains, "in full screen we can save memory and render slightly faster".

Effects: These give more detail in certain superfluous scenarios, such as water. This can be more taxing than most settings changes - such as textures - so it's recommended you reduce this unless you have a powerful graphics card.
Post Processing: With this enabled, visuals are processed further after the scene is rendered, improving quality to make it a little kinder to the eyes.
Vsync: Turning this on ensures a full frame is rendered on screen, so no screen tearing takes place. However, doing so will cause an performance hit on your machine as it works harder to make sure a full image is always displayed, so turning it off is recommended - giving you a higher frame rates and input response.
Motion blur: Turning it on adds a blur effect when moving. It's a visual setting that some players enjoy, but for a competitive game of Fortnite, it can make things harder to see when moving at speed. Turning it off is recommended.
Show FPS: This is useful if you want to see if any of the above has any effect on performance. Want to see if setting Texture to medium changes the frame rate? Enable this, have a match, and see if it veers from your target of say, 60 FPS. If so, change the setting and try again.
