Fortnite benchmark on GTX 1070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Fortnite FPS with a GTX 1070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 67FPS min 54Good | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 22FPS min 20Poor |
| High | 87FPS min 71Good | 67FPS min 59Good | 29FPS min 26Poor |
| Medium | 114FPS min 93Good | 87FPS min 76Good | 38FPS min 34Acceptable |
| Low | 148FPS min 120Excellent | 113FPS min 99Good | 49FPS min 44Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 10% | GPU 18% | GPU 65% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1070. There is 23% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Fortnite at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the GTX 1070 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 67 | 84 | 97 |
| 1440p | 51 | 69 | 84 |
| 4K | 22 | 32 | 41 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1070 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the GTX 1070 has headroom to spare in Fortnite: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the GTX 1070 Enough for Fortnite?
The GTX 1070 delivers 67 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Fortnite. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 51 FPS and at 4K 22 FPS at Ultra quality.
