We have you covered if you want the best settings for the popular Battle Royale game. Here are the best PC settings to improve FPS, performance, and visibility in Fortnite. You will also find the best Keybinds for Fortnite Chapter 5.

Best Fortnite Chapter 5 PC Settings

It’s important to know that to access and adjust all the settings mentioned in this Fortnite guide, you must ensure your Rendering Mode is set to Direct X11. Once you enter all the settings in this guide, you will switch Rendering Mode to Performance.

If you didn’t have Direct X11 selected in the first place, select it under ‘Display’ and then restart your game. Once you are back into Fortnite, adjust the settings to match below for the highest boost in performance, visibility, and FPS for Fortnite.

Display Settings

  • Window Mode: Fullscreen
  • Resolution: Set to your monitor’s native resolution.
  • Vsync: Off
  • Frame Rate Limit: 240 FPS
  • Rendering Mode: Performance (save for last)

Graphics Settings

  • Brightness: 130%
  • User Interface Contrast: 1x
  • Color Blind Mode: Tritanope
  • Color Blind Strength: 5
  • Motion Blur: Off

Graphics Quality Settings

  • Graphics Quality: Auto-Set
  • Quality Presets: Custom
  • Anti-Aliasing and Super Resolution: Off
  • Temporal Super Resolution: Native
  • 3D Resolution: 100%
  • Dynamic 3D Resolution: Off
  • Nanite Virtualized Geometry: Off
  • Shadows: Off
  • Global Illumination: Off
  • Reflections: Off
  • View Distance: Medium
  • Textures: Medium
  • Effects: Low

Advanced Graphics Settings

  • Show FPS: On
  • Use GPU Crash Debugging: Off
  • Latency Markers: Off
  • NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: On (On+Boost if you have a high-end PC)
  • Report Performance Stats: Disabled

After adjusting all those settings, switch Rendering Mode to Performance and hit Apply. This will then restart your game, giving you a massive boost in performance, visibility, and FPS!

After switching to performance rendering mode, you will notice a new section under Graphics Quality called ‘Meshes.’ I recommend you turn this off to increase visibility a bit, although it’s not mandatory to improve overall performance and FPS.
