Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: How To Find & Defeat Ares

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: Myths & Mortals introduces Ares, a new boss for players to defeat!

Epic Games has done an incredible job keeping Fortnite fresh for its players, so it’s no surprise that several new players install the multiplayer title each season. So, if you finally installed Fortnite to find out if it’s really as fun as advertised, it’s best that you choose the best graphics settings before launching your first game on PC.

We tested these settings on our system with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core 3.40 GHz Processor, 32 GB RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti GPU. The below graphics settings helped us achieve around 280 FPS in Fortnite, which sometimes dropped between 240 and 250.

Fortnite Minimum And Recommended System Requirements

Before you install Fortnite, it’s crucial that you review its Minimum and Recommended system requirements. If your system is somewhere between Minimum and Recommended, the graphics settings that we tested will work wonders. That being said, if you have a high-end system that puts Fortnite’s recommended settings to shame, you can very well opt for higher-quality settings without compromising too much on the FPS.

GPU	Intel HD 4000 on PC; AMD Radeon Vega 8	GPU	Nvidia GTX 960, AMD R9 280, or equivalent DX11 GPU (2 GB VRAM)	GPU	Nvidia RTX 3070, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, or equivalent GPU (8 GB VRAM or higher)

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2: All Weapon Bunker Locations

Weapon Bunkers are the best way to acquire lots of loot in Fortnite Myths & Mortals. Here are all the Weapon Bunker locations for this season!

Best PC Settings For Fortnite

Window	Fullscreen	Works best in almost every game.
Resolution	1920*1080 or above	1080P works best, but you can also *go higher (25601440) if that’s the native resolution of your monitor. If you have a low-end system, it’s best to go with 1280720* to get better FPS.
Vsync	Off	Vsync limits your FPS at your monitor refresh rate. It’s best to turn this off because it causes input lag.
Frame Rate Limit	Unlimited or match it to monitor’s refresh rate.	Set it to Unlimited if you have a high-end monitor with a refresh rate of 144Hz or higher. However, you can also set a limit to match the Maximum FPS with your Monitor’s refresh rate. There’s no point getting 300 FPS if your monitor can’t process more than 144 Frames per second.
Rendering Mode	Performance or DirectX 12	Both Performance and DirectX 12 deliver better performance than DirectX 11
Motion Blur	Off	It doesn’t improve your gameplay and negatively affects performance, so it’s best to turn it off.
Anti-aliasing and super-resolution	Nvidia DLSS or TAA	DLSS will be available if you have an NVIDIA GPU. If not, then it’s best to go with TAA.
Temporal Super Resolution/NVIDIA DLSS	Balanced for NVIDIA DLSS and Performance for the rest	The Balanced Performance delivers good FPS while not compromising too much on quality.
3D Resolution	50-60%	If you use the above settings for Temporal Super Resolution/NVIDIA DLSS, it will automatically be set between 50% and 60%.
View Distance	Far	Determines how far you can spot objects or enemies. Lowering it too much will affect your gameplay, as you will have difficulty seeing enemies.
Shadows	Off	A quality setting that makes the game look pretty but significantly affects performance.
Global Illumination	Off	A quality setting that makes the game look pretty but significantly affects performance.
Textures	Low	A quality setting that makes the game look pretty but significantly affects performance.
Effects	Low	A quality setting that makes the game look pretty but significantly affects performance.
Post Processing	Low	A quality setting that makes the game look pretty but significantly affects performance.
Hardware Ray Tracing	Off	It significantly improves the visuals but is not worth it because it comes at a hefty FPS cost.
Nvidia Reflex Low Latency	On+Boost	On+Boost reduces latency, but the setting is only available for NVIDIA GPUs. If you don’t see it despite having an NVIDIA GPU, update your graphics drivers to the latest version.
