The GPU isn't functioning properly.
The GPU isn't functioning properly.
While playing Fortnite my CPU usage is around 60%, RAM usage is at 80% and the GPU is only 0-15%. I can't see the CPU temperature, but I suspect it overheated due to the high load. The graphics card is a Radeon, so it might be using that during the game. I haven’t changed the cooling liquid in a year—I’m not sure how to fix it. Your PC specs are: GPU Gigabyte 3060 Ti, CPU 55,600 with Radeon graphics, 16 GB RAM.
Use a tool such as HWMonitor or CoreTemp to monitor your PC's temperature. If it stays above 80°C, there could be an issue. Look for dust buildup on the fan and clean it gently with compressed air or a soft brush. Replace it if it hasn't been done in over a year. Follow your device's manual for safe cleaning steps. Avoid doing this alone—seek help if needed. If your GPU isn’t being used heavily, lower the game resolution to test and confirm the card is working properly. Your setup includes a 3060 Ti with an integrated GPU; you can adjust settings in the Nvidia Control Panel to ensure Fortnite runs on the better GPU.
In the NVIDIA control panel, look for the "GPU Usage" or "Performance" section to see Fortnite's GPU activity.
Before starting, check your Fortnite game settings and make sure your thermal management is set correctly to avoid overheating.
I've got top configurations and I verified the temperatures—both GPU and CPU are hovering around 65-70°C during a full build session.
