Fortnite causes severe lag and freezing issues.
Hey, I see what's going on. Your PC is running smoothly otherwise, but Fortnite keeps stuttering. Have you checked if your graphics card drivers are up to date? Also, try disabling any background apps or updates that might be causing conflicts. Make sure your GPU is properly seated and not overheating. If the issue persists after those steps, consider checking for firmware updates on your motherboard or running a system restore. Let me know what you find!
Check for BIOS updates and review the Event Viewer for Fortnite errors after a match. Confirm if you installed the game in DX11 or DX12 and double-checked file deletions during reinstallation. Uninstall options may miss some files. Other games with no issues are not specified here.
Apex Legends runs smoothly at 144 frames per second with the latest update. I installed the BIOS two weeks ago in the hope of stability. After testing DX12 and 11, using version 11 only boosts performance by about 20 FPS, so the game works best in performance mode.
The visual options in Apex match Fortnite's settings in many ways. Vsync, resolution, and scaling appear comparable. Search for instructions on installing DX12 to check if it works under your current system. Run 'sfc /scannow' in admin prompt and try the performance mode again to see any improvements.
The DirectX installer indicated I already had the latest or previous version, so the setup wasn't required. I performed an SFC scan, which reported repairing some damaged files, though I didn’t even have to launch a game because the lobby kept stuttering as usual.
I've already reinstalled it two times and it's now using the NVIDIA GPU.
You can verify if it's utilizing the NVIDIA GPU by checking the system information in Task Manager. Look for details about the GPU model and its current usage.
