A NVIDIA RTX 3060 paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D lands around 132 fps in Fortnite at 1080p with Medium textures, Low shadows and no upscaling. Ray tracing is left off on this pairing. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.
Based on benchmark data and community reports for this hardware combination — treat as an estimate, not a guarantee. How we calculate this.
Your GPU is limiting FPS here
NVIDIA RTX 3060 is holding back your AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at 1080p in Fortnite. A better GPU could get you closer to ~178 fps at these settings.
Estimate only — based on a 35% uplift for a severe GPU bottleneck, not a measured benchmark.

Fortnite is effectively two different games from a hardware perspective. Performance mode uses a stripped-down renderer that hits very high frame rates on old hardware; the Unreal Engine 5 path with Lumen and Nanite is one of the most demanding configurations in any free-to-play title.
Pick one and commit. Mixing the two goals — UE5 lighting with competitive frame rates — produces a setup that neither looks good nor plays well, and building duels punish input latency more than they reward visual fidelity.
Separates the Performance mode renderer from the Unreal Engine 5 Lumen/Nanite path, which have very different hardware requirements.
