Fortnites using alot of cpu and 1% of gpu

[Loozher]

I know alot of people dont like fortnite, but i really dont want to search on youtube for 4 hours because nothing seems to work

 

I recently got a new asus vg279qm 280hz  monitor.. and my games having problems running, the camera stutters and i literally cant play.. I dont know if its even my hardware or just a setting, im stuck..

 

So, do i need to upgrade anything?   Or is there a way to make the game more gpu dependant??

Heres the specs of my pc

ASrock z270 extreme4

Intel core i5-7600k

Nvidia 1070

16GB RAM

Samsung 240gb SSD

2TB HDD

 

Im willing to upgrade if i need to.. I just really need help

Do you have your video cables plugged into your motherboard or gpu

Into my graphics card, using Displayport

Double check to make sure.....

Verify game files, maybe you have a frame rate cap for some reason that’s config level so try deleting the config file which should be in the app data folder if you go back one and go to Local then FortniteGame.

Try disabling windows game bar and DVR, it can use a lot of CPU resources while it tries to record your gameplay and try DX12.

 

One weird fix that might work is downgrading your graphics drivers, a lot of people are having issues since they added raytracing and reflex.

Did you get a new cable?

 

Should be DP 1.4.

Went into the config and the cap was set to 240hz, which is what i want it to be.. Game bar is already off and dx12 is already on

Cables don’t even matter if it’s plugged into the graphics card.

Are you getting low frame rates or seeing low framerates?
Check the in game counter, I’ve had issues with HDMI cables causing stuttering (in that case it actually affected the host device but it was an Android TV and I’m not sure if this is applicable.)

wrong... Display Port cables that come with monitors are usually bottom barrel quality and can cause lots of issues. 

 

Try using a different Display Port cable and see.

Change it to HDMI and see if it changes,,,

 

Might be a bad cable.

Using the ingame fps counter, im getting around 220-240fps in creative and 200-240fps in a match..

Exactly, never use the ones that come with the monitor...

That makes sense for your graphics card, so you’re just getting stutters?

You’re definitely using more than 1% of your graphics card because you would be getting 2FPS if you were and you’re obviously not using integrated graphics.

Try reinstalling your graphics drivers and clearing the CMOS on your board, maybe you changed a setting ?

I dont think i have a spare display port cable but would a hdmi to display adapter work?

I wouldn’t be surprised. He should try with a different monitor since this one is new he should have a spare unless he sold it.

Best to not use adaptors.

You won’t get the full refresh rate but it should be fine for testing.

So should i try to hdmi it came with? or what should i do?

Definitely a ram or CPU issue then, I have never gotten GPU related stutters and I’ve owned like 5 graphics cards.

If the Monitor has a HDMI connection.

then sounds like you're CPU bottlenecked. Check your CPU usage.
