In this guide, we will provide casual, competitive and professional players with a comprehensive guide to the best settings and pro settings in Fortnite.

Optimize In-Game Settings

If you want to optimize Fortnite for high performance, there are some settings you can start tweaking right away.

First, we will go over the in-game video settings and then we will talk about choosing the right resolution.

  • Windows Mode: You want to run the game in fullscreen mode.
  • Display Resolution: Whatever fits your monitor. More info below.
  • Frame Rate Limit: Set this to your monitor refresh rate limit Example: if you monitor has 144 refresh rate (Hz), set it to 144.
  • Quality: No need to change.
  • 3D Resolution: No need to change this either.
  • View Distance: Unless you got an outdated graphics card and are looking to squeeze out every frame rate, you should set this to EPIC or FAR. You want to be able to see enemies far away.
  • Shadows: Shadows can distract you and reduce frame rates, set this to OFF.
  • Anti-aliasing: Turn this setting OFF as well for more FPS.
  • Textures: Now for maximum FPS this should be set to LOW, but as with View Distance, there can be an advantage to settings it to HIGH or even EPIC. Having it set to HIGH, will make it easier to spot enemies further away. Our recommendation is that you set it to HIGH unless you have an outdated graphics card, in this case, set it to a LOW or MEDIUM.
  • Effects: Set this to LOW. Effects are for example wind in threes and smaller effects. It will only distract you and have a minor impact on FPS.
  • Post Processing: Set to LOW. Post Processing will make things further away look blurry and will degrade performance (FPS).
  • Vsync: If you have Nvidia G-sync enabled, you should also enable Vsync in order to minimize input lag. Otherwise, turn it OFF.
  • Motion Blur: Turn it OFF. Motion Blur is really bad in competitive scenarios.
  • Show FPS: Up to you, we find it useful to see the FPS in-game.

What is the best resolution for Fortnite?

For a long time pro players used stretched resolution. It seems that most have now moved to 1920x1080.
