Issues with Fortnite lagging problems.
Issues with Fortnite lagging problems.
You're experiencing performance problems with Fortnite on your Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM008. The lag you notice happens when loading maps, especially after a few matches. Even with minimum settings, the issue persists. You mentioned using an SSD with a Sandisk Plus 2TB and wondering if it supports SLC cache. There are discussions online about SLC caching and its impact on SSD performance, but it seems unclear whether SLC cache is actually beneficial for your setup. Testing with CrystalDiskMark didn't confirm its effectiveness, and the difference between SLC NAND and TLC SSD speeds is important to consider. Whether to rely on your current drive depends on whether it meets your speed expectations and whether you're open to trying SLC-based SSDs.
You're asking about the specific needs for a 6700 processor at this stage. It's showing performance issues that need a more recent CPU for smooth gameplay, especially in Fortnite. You're thinking about moving up to a 5600x or a 12600k model, which would be more stable and faster, and you're looking for a budget-friendly option with a decent GPU and enough RAM.
I'm currently without a job, so I can't upgrade yet. My new motherboard has an Intel i9-11900K, but it has a USB over current problem. I've tried everything, and it seems the chip handling USB is faulty and needs replacement. I got it from AliExpress, haven't returned it yet so they can fix it, but I'm too lazy and can't send it right now because Israel is in conflict.
I replaced it with an SSD and everything works smoothly, achieving over 100 frames per second in the game. I was skeptical about cheap SSDs but it resolved my stuttering problems.
