However, since the game puts almost a hundred players on the same giant map, the low spec PCs may face some FPS drop.Epic Games has now come up with a solution. They now have a performance mode you can turn on through the game settings. The performance mode is ideal for those who do not want to sacrifice precious FPS.The mode is focused on players with low spec PC, hence only available on the PC version of the game.
Performance Mode on Fortnite
In layman’s terms, performance mode decreases the load on your computer (GPU and CPU) and gives you more FPS. You can also delete high-resolution files to make space on your PC and not affect your game, thanks to the performance mode.The mode decreases or turns off the textures and other graphics-stressing features in the game. Even if you are running the game in low settings, turning on the performance mode can give you a slightly higher FPS.
Turning on the Performance Mode on Fortnite
You can easily go to the settings and turn on the performance mode on Fortnite.Turning on the performance mode can dramatically enhance your FPS. For instance, a PC with an i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, and Intel UHD Graphics 620 gives an average of 24 FPS without the performance mode. But the FPS increases to an average of 61 FPS with the setting turned on.Hence, turning on the performance mode can be beneficial even though it sacrifices some of the textures for a higher FPS.
Delete High-Resolution Textures in Fortnite
You can also delete the high-resolution texture files after turning on the performance mode to save space on your system.Doing so can save up a lot of space as the texture files take up closely half of the total storage allocated to Fortnite. Hopefully, you can now turn on the performance mode on Fortnite and run the game on higher FPS.
