Your configuration features an Asus B450 motherboard with the 1080ti Mini AMD Ryzen 7 2700x, a 500W PSU, and storage devices including a 250GB SSD and a 1TB HD drive. Running Fortnite at 240 FPS seems challenging despite your monitors; consider upgrading to a monitor with a higher refresh rate (240Hz) if possible.

Opt for 1080p resolution and avoid pushing everything to its absolute limit. For the highest possible FPS, Intel (10600K-10900K) is recommended. If you already have this setup, you can use frame counter tools to verify if you're reaching around 240 FPS.

The maximum performance will be at least 1080 Ti. Even with an i5/i7/i9, the frame rate won't increase because the GPU cooler becomes the limiting factor.

It might occasionally drop under 240, based on your configuration. The smaller the settings, the more it drains your CPU's capacity. For a 3700x model, that shouldn't be an issue.

Even a small cooler doesn't change the fact that a 1080 Ti remains a 1080 Ti. The Zotac Mini cooler won't bring performance down to 1080 levels. For top gaming needs like Fortnite, the second generation Ryzen processor is the real issue.

He won't reach maximum performance if he's aiming for 240 fps, meaning the CPU would become the limiting factor instead of the GPU.

It's not that Fortnite doesn't use a lot of GPU power.

He’d need to be playing in 720p; Fortnite’s adjustments aren’t great, but a CPU upgrade doesn’t seem necessary.
