Very inconsistent frametimes in fortnite regardless of my computers ability to run the game well

420amag

When I put game on epic settings I only am able to get 60 frames and I experience extreme spikes in frametimes (70 ms) but when I put the game on low settings and run it at 144hz the problem is reduced (50 ms spikes) but still prevalent and I am ignorant as to how to fix it so if someone would like to help me that would be greatly appricated

 

Amd fx 8350

Rx 480

M5A97R2.0 mobo

Msi 144hz 1080p curved screen

 

If any other components matter I would have to look so please inform me

 

Thank you in advance I'm new to the forums

What's your hard drive? Could be that the assets can't be loaded in time.

Great fix that worked for me... uninstall.

 

Being serious though update your graphic drivers see if that helps.

Drivers, using a HDD, having a low range GPU.

 

Your frame rates are expected with the FX 8350 and the RX 480.

hi.

it's a one terabyte disk drive that runs at 7200 rpm I can't remember or seem to find the brand but it isnt the fastest thing, and this is the first game I've had this problem in

Shadows low ,medium textures, low anti aliasing ,100 for the resolution percent play with the view distance oh yeah and take of the freesync in your settings on that monitor,  Card is downclocking and stuttering because monitor is geared to run a 144mhz which is 144fps when realistically you can change it to 100  and not have the freesync trying to downclock your card on you.  Also, try fullscreen windowed mode.

Yeah, enable freesync through the AMD Catalyst Control Center. Your CPU is also holding you back a bit. Although the GPU should be more than enough considering I can run 1440p 144hz on my own RX480

You could be running to many applications in the backround for your CPU, causing stuttering. I know this was an issue for me back when I had my laptop with a 960m and 6700HQ. To many apps in the backround will cause stuttering and frame spikes, like you said.

Please quote me or @ me in your response so I get a notification.                                                                       I really really really really like small text.

How much RAM do you have? It could be swapping, I'd check in Task Manager.

Oh that’s heaps. I’d probably run some benchmarks to see if the problem occurs elsewhere, and check the health of your hard drive.

 

Fortnite is still a pretty new game, so I’d send them a support ticket if you can and see what they say. It could just be buggy.

What programs are they? That could be your issue as your CPU is old and could be bottlenecking the GPU hard when it is at full load.

 

For example - If steam is taking 20%, application X is taking 35% and the game ideally needs 50% or more of the CPU, it would bottleneck the GPU and cause major stuttering.
