Hi

I just recently got a new PC... specs:
intel i7-3770
8gb ram
128gb ssd
Radeon HD 8490 (temporary graphics card, getting gtx 1050 low profile next week)

Fortnite lags big time on my pc atm. I'm not sure why, surely I can run it on at least 1080p low at 60fps? I feel like the game is using the integrated graphics card (hd 4000) rather than my radeon 8490. If I am wrong, correct me please.

Any help is appreciated!

HD 8490 is a OEM card meant for basic business tasks, it's horrible at gaming and is slower than the IGPU "HD 4000" you have on your CPU. With the HD4000 you might be able to run Fortnight @ 720p low settings and be somewhat playable but still nothing enjoyable.

"Synthetic Benchmark"
HD 8490 Passmark 381
HD 4000 Passmark 451

With a 1050 you want mixed settings to do 1080p and max out the FPS and reaction speed.

Shadows= Off
Textures= High
View Distance= Far to Epic
Effects/Post Processing= Medium
AA= Medium
Vsync=Off
Frame Limit= Unlimited
Motion Blur=Off
Show Grass=Off

In-game Mouse Sensitivity Settings
Mouse Sensitivity 0.03 - 0.5 "default this is set far too high"
Mouse ADS Sensitivity 0.40 - 0.50 "sensitivity when aiming down...

So the low graphics is mainly due to the shit graphics card. Is that what you mean?

Thanks.

Mouse ADS Sensitivity 0.40 - 0.50 "sensitivity when aiming down sights, Any higher and your mouse will start flitting around the screen when under heavy load"
Mouse Scope Sensitivity Play with this one should be above 0.50 it controls when your viewing scoped in.

Mouse DPI. 600-1000, To fast and it makes it harder to control since you're overreacting.


Under NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Manage 3D Settings
Set Maximum pre-rendered frames to 1
Set Multi-Display/Mixed GPU Acceleration to Single display performance mode.
Set Power Management Mode to Prefer maximum performance
Turn Vertical Sync off
Enable Threaded Optimisation
