Why not 300+ fps?
Hello, I have the following PC components: Case
(1x) Lian Li O11DX Dynamic Midi Tower, Tempered Glass – black motherboard
(1x) Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Master, Intel Z590 motherboard – Socket 1200 processor
(1x) Intel Core i9-10900K 3.70 GHz (Comet Lake) Socket 1200 – boxed processor cooler
(1x) NZXT Kraken Z73 Complete Water Cooling System – 360mm, Black RAM
(1x) Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro black, DDR4-3600, CL18 – 32 GB Quad Kit graphics card
(1x) Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Gaming OC 12G LHR, 12288 MB GDDR6X SSD (M.2, NVMe)
(1x) Western Digital Blue SN550 NVMe, PCIe M.2 Type 2280 – 1 TB additional SSD (M.2, NVMe)
(1x) Western Digital Blue SN550 NVMe, PCIe M.2 Type 2280 – 1 TB
My main game is Fortnite, and I need 300 fps because I have a 280 Hz monitor. I have all settings on low, and practically every website says I should have over 300 fps. But I only get between 180 and 260 fps, with occasional drops… Therefore, I overclocked both my GPU and CPU. Neither is even at 50% capacity while I'm playing…
What am I doing wrong??

These benchmarks are only a rough benchmark for “optimal” functioning systems, and you also have to pay attention to the date of creation to publish these results.
Between 2018 and 2024, in Fortnite alone, the (unavoidable) ingame updates here and there can have been a little worsened again and again. In addition, the benchmark only forms a small scene from the gameplay, and not all possible worst cases.
If your monitor supports Nvidia G-Sync or AMD Freesync to your RTX 3080Ti, I would try it with a frame limiter for then at least uniform frametimes.
Otherwise, this game can’t even begin to convert the 10 physical cores / 20 logic threads of your CPU profitably into FPS. In addition, in this scenario, SMT or HT act as a brake.
Therefore try SMT or Switch HT to the processor in the BIOS or via software/register hack. (There are instructions on the web)
On what should the frame limiter be set and with what program?
And does that mean in principle that my CPU is too weak? I just don’t understand why it’s not 100% loaded?
According to your FPS range (160 to 280 FPS), you should limit the whole time to 120 or 144 FPS.
Here is a video (2023 of me unrecognized), how you can “cappen” the FPS in Fortnite.
Otherwise, I already wrote that the i9-10900K(f) has 10 Cores/20 Threads, which Fortnite has not in all places Loads can. Most games have about 3-4 main threads, of which alkes others depend on in the so-called helper threads even in multicore processors.
Games are programmed and even 2024 are only very limited “optimal” to X CPU cores as desired parallelizable. For more FPS in the CPU-Limit, only a more modern CPU with significantly more computing power per core and Mhz will actually help you.
If I understand the right I need processor, mainbpard as well as ram upgrade and the Graka is still enough for a while and is actually too good for FN? What’s wrong or what?
Just try it out with the framecap so that you don’t see any “Rucklers” in your actions even when it comes to forwarding or aiming.
Otherwise, you need a much more modern basis for competetives at prize money, even in FN @ Low. CPU, RAM and board. The so-called “IPC” had never significantly increased Intel between Core i 6000 to 10000. 11th. Gen. on LGA 1200 certainly brought a noticeably higher IPC, but compared to 12th. Gen. and LGA 1700 together with DDR5 is 11th. Gene for LGA 1200 still significantly closer to 10th. Gen. as at 12th. Gen. per Core & Mhz.
Or alternatively AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 7000(x3D) together with AM5 board as a new base. The RTX 3080Ti remained in 1080p @ Combat mode in the settings still rather bored at FN.
High FPS are not better if your graphics card just packs 300 FPS, you notice the frustration of the graphics card when it gets more intense.
I have a 280hz monitor and play Fortnite competitive, also have money gains so I need so high fps….
You don’t need 1000 FPS for this game, but only possible uniform frametimes between the individual images. The rest of the so-called “input layer” between input on the keyboard or the HID to the reaction reduces a fast system otherwise next to input to the response on the screen.
The slowest element in itself You Over 100 FPS with stable frametimes even then.
Ah also I have done HT, has not really shown a difference
144FPS to limit is bad I need between 240-280 that is possible?
Did you even have a TFT/monitor of the 300HZ etc? Otherwise it is not worth going to 300FPS, if possible.
What are you doing 300FPS? NOT, except increased power consumption.
Overclocking a Graka and CPU doesn’t bring you anything except 2-5FPS.
The new OC is the undervoltage today.
But you know that you’d only have a little bit white about it.
Graka at 30% load and already 55 degrees? then I don’t want to know how warm it gets at 50 or 70% off, then you don’t need to be surprised if there are some picture questions or the CPU gets throttled(sich down) because it becomes too warm.
A non-cleaned system does the rest.
And again:
You don’t need 300(380) FPS to be good in FN.
So I don’t have so much ahnunh in the subject area, but that’s not a reason to go so directly… 1. I need 300fps I have a 280hz monitor and if you would know a little about competetive fortnite you need that to play do up (bin top 2500 europas) 2.Why is my Graka so hot? Explanation would be nice because you see that I don’t assault with components. 3. What are the possibilities to elevate more fps? A Pc reset?

I’m not driving you, I’m just very direct.
Your message isn’t true.
If you would have watched some good YT videos or had watched some competitions at twitch, almost all have played with a 27-inch TFT, with 144HZ and are one of the best players in the world.
FPS not equal to ms
What you need is a gaming TFT with Max 2ms and G-sync or Freesync.
And you don’t need more than 144HZ etc.
Ninja, one of the best Fortnite players. Have you ever looked at his settings? He doesn’t play with 300FPS or more. His current TFT is a Curved and plays only with 144HZ and that has its reasons.
There are enough UV videos at YT. It describes how to do this and what it brings.
Here you have a video of many:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg6Z_uO2Iy0
It doesn’t give you any advantages if your ridge is only loaded at 30 or 50%.
Another question can a restart the pc or reset temporarily generate better FPS?
So keep graphics card to upgrade CPU? What are the possibilities?
It should be a clearly better CPU, the Graka could still be good.
If you also exchange a Graka, then at least one 4070S.
These people you mention but also have a setting, there are 240-300+ FPS also no problem. Their hardware even left so much buffer….
They also have a $2,000 grams in it and and and you don’t.
Hey, everything was just a little surprised. Yes that with the 144hz may be but that has been a long time ago.. At times when Ninja has still been a world leader, the mechanics of people have not yet been as advanced as today and when you are building/editing, etc. You want to keep a very high refresh rate AND little ms input delay, as I know a lot of pros, 1-2 also personally. Today’s world leaders are people like Peterbot,Vadeal,Rezon, Vico etc. all play on 240-360hz monitors. So Ninja has long been a world leader in Fortnite with constructions.
Is Undervolting what can bring me more FPS or do I have to upgrade to a better Cpu?
The lowest setting is not the highest FPS. Go to the CPU, and you just don’t have the strongest.
Yes, but what I don’t understand why it doesn’t appear to me as 100% overloaded when it’s on the CPU it’s always loaded between 40-55%.
Fortnite can’t use all cores/threads of current CPUs by far. At 8 threads is over. More are simply not used and therefore the utilization is never at 90-100%.
Maybe a bottleneck?
How is the utilisation on highest settings.
What resolution do you have?
Maybe your CPU is in the limit. Take a look at the individual core loads.
She has a 40-50% load, isn’t it far from the limit?
It depends on the individual core utilization. If a core is at 100% and the others at 10%, then, of course, the total utilization is not at 100%, but far lower.
