Poor frame rate often relates to insufficient GPU and CPU power.
Poor frame rate often relates to insufficient GPU and CPU power.
Hey there, I’m still figuring things out about PC builds. It seems my games, especially Fortnite, often show shaky FPS around 110-165 during normal battles and about 100 on bigger maps. My GPU reports usage between 10-20% while my CPU is around 40-65%. I think my CPU might be limiting the GPU, but 165 FPS shouldn’t be too bad. I’ve tried tweaking things: capped FPS at 165, set graphics to ultra-low performance mode, turned off shadows, adjusted my Nvidia settings for high performance, cleared the shader cache and increased it to 10 GB. I also made sure my driver is up to date. It feels like my PC could handle more, but maybe I’m misunderstanding something. I’d really appreciate any advice and am sorry for the English. Also, is this question about the right group? Thanks a lot!
Fortnite has its own quirks, that's just the way it works. Perhaps try capping at 60fps? P.S.: It seems like a CPU issue might be present, so you probably won't hit 165fps consistently either. Still, it's better to stick to a more stable frame rate like 60 or 90fps.
