Fortnite

Epic Games' free-to-play battle royale on Unreal Engine 5 with Nanite, Lumen and hardware ray tracing, continuously updated since 2017. Fortnite scales from competitive Performance Mode at well over 500 FPS to maxed-out cinematic settings — and it's the easiest way to see UE5's full rendering stack in a live game.

How demanding is Fortnite?

Fortnite supports software and hardware Lumen, hardware ray-traced shadows, reflections and global illumination, plus DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation and AMD FSR. Competitive Performance Mode strips visuals entirely for esports frame rates; the maxed-out 'Epic' preset with hardware RT and Lumen is one of the more demanding UE5 setups in any current game.

What GPU do you need for Fortnite?

On Performance settings, our estimates put even an RTX 5060 above 500 FPS at 1080p. With high settings the RTX 5070 or Radeon RX 9070 XT holds 600+ FPS at 1440p. Native 4K at maxed visuals sits around 450–520 FPS across the RTX 50 stack. Any current EMARQUE gaming PC will easily saturate a 240 Hz panel; budget toward the CPU and display.
