my friend is struggling to hit 144 frames per second
Dear User,
Hello, my friend recently got a PC with 8GB RAM at 2666MHz, an I5-9400F processor, and an RTX 2060 paired with a 144Hz monitor. With these components, he struggles to hit 144FPS in-game Fortnite at 1080P. Is this typical for these specs or is there an issue? I previously owned a GTX 1660 Ti with 8GB RAM and an I5-9600K, which performed much better about four months ago before upgrading. Please advise!
In certain games yes, yet not universally which I consider reliable. However, my main idea was that many assume because 4k demands more pixels that any entry-level graphics card can handle 1080 at any frame rate. In reality, though, a 1600 series card will suffice for a 60hz monitor in 1080 across most games. To achieve a 144hz display you still need a 2070 series card. 1080 offers less rendering load, but maintaining consistent 144fps demands a high-end CPU and GPU.
With both of you upgraded to the RTX 2060, the distinction could be even smaller—check out @sizzling's suggestion too. The difference might actually lie in the CPU itself. A 9400f performs significantly better than a 9600k. Higher FPS at lower resolutions, such as 1080, largely depends on the CPU. Although both CPUs have similar IPC, yours offers a much stronger single-core turbo, which affects overall performance.
Dear User,
I recently upgraded to an RTX 2060 Super while you still have an I7-9700K with 32GB of RAM. He asked whether upgrading the i7-9700K would improve his FPS.
Both participants should complete UserBenchmark and share their results. The process is quick, taking under five minutes to download and execute.
These are the recognized standards for that card. I believe the results you're observing are typical. Most modern low to mid-range hardware can handle 1080p at 60 hz, though high-frequency performance still requires top-tier components. My son was very excited about a 360hz monitor. Benchmarks vary widely but remain trustworthy, especially for 360 fps across all titles on a 1080p display. Hardware capable of consistently delivering this frame rate on such displays is quite impressive.
It's accurate. Still, I believe an i9-10900K paired with an ASUS RTX 3090 and FPS improvements might achieve the best results. But I'm choosing to stick with ACER 240Hz.
