Adjusting resolution from 5800x to 7600x
I think he did it to achieve the maximum frames per second. Competitive players often stick to low resolutions or settings since they assume more FPS means better responsiveness and quicker shooting compared to others. Regarding high usage and heat, it’s possible the CPU overheated, especially with older models like the 5800X running hot. The original 5800X was known for being quite warm, and an 83c processor isn’t too bad if cooling isn’t too poor. If you’re not focused on competitive play, using 500 fps in games like Fortnite isn’t really useful as a benchmark. Aim for FPS that works well in the games you enjoy, because 500 fps usually points to a game heavily limited by its CPU.
I own a NZXT Kraken 240, not sure if that's ideal but that's what I have. The benchmark I checked showed about 1% lows at 223fps, though I don't know the exact numbers. My peak was near 300 frames per second, but with those low frame rates every few seconds, it might cause stuttering. If I ever play Fortnite, I'll be in performance mode.
