Budget 240fps fortnite performance

[Wonggoruar]

I played fortnite, with all settings low except for viewing distance(epic) , on my campus gaming computer, with i7 8700k, 1080ti. It handles a stable 240fps, on the 244hz monitor.

Can I still reach the same performance with lower tier cpu and gpu such as the i5's and anything below 1080ti.

[Arika]

given that an i7 8700k and 1080ti capped at 240fps, then, no, anything less than one or both of these will not hit the same performance

1600x and Vega 56 can pin FPS at 240 with those settings.

[Wonggoruar]

Thanks for replying but, by "stable" I mean the computer generates the fps well over 240, so there is no lag in gaming, since it's paired with 240hz monitor.

Would the i5 9600k does the job as well, with its boost clock at 4.6 GHz, even with no hyper threading.

 

[glenalz81]

if a 1600x can do it i'd say the 9600k can also do it.

 

I use the same settings when i play and have the fps capped to 240, where it stays pretty much all the time.

Budget and Country? I can put together a build list that should achieve this if the budget allows for it.

i mean... fortnite is quite cpu intensive from my experience

 

but 240hz/fps is useless for 99,99%

I'm not trying to be rude in any way, but Luke is right. 240hz is pretty much useless. Linus even did a video with one of his employees who was a high level CSGO player. They both said they couldn't see a visual difference. 144hz looks the same and is as smooth.

 

You can hit high frames with lower tier parts, but If I was being practical I would say sell the monitor and get a decent 144hz one so you can get better parts.

I feel like imma have to stick with intel processor & nvidia GPUs cuz they are the more I am familar with. I just think if maybe my campus computers are a little overkill, that I could have a more budget friendly option.

I am going more towards the competetive settings. For example, with the shadow off, the fps improve significantly. 

 

And for me, yes, 240fps does make a big different when It comes to fortnite competetive.

I've tried it, and its hard to go back.

I mean if you think it helps you or you're seeing a difference thats cool I guess.

 

intel and budget shouldn't usually be in the same sentence unless it's saying that Intel doesn't have good budget options compared to AMD.

 

Stick with Ryzen CPUs right now. The nvidia GPU pricing isn't terrible right now but for sure if you want to save then stick with AMD.

 

I'm not as familiar with the new Zen 2 CPUs right now, but the other people in this thread can definitely help you make the right choices when it comes to what parts you want to pick.

You didn't give me a budget or country so here's this. (Like I said I can do a more budget oriented build if you give it to me.)

Ryzen is the best way to go right now, the Ryzen 5 3600 is pretty much on par with the 8700k and is $160 less. Ryzen 3000 is incredible and that's coming from someone who was an Intel guy up until  Zen+ dropped. If I didn't have a good build an was looking to build one right now, I would 100% go Ryzen, Intel just can't beat it with it's price to performance.
