Fortnite benchmark on R9 380: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Fortnite FPS with a R9 380 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 30FPS min 27Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor | 6FPS min 5Unplayable |
| High | 39FPS min 35Acceptable | 24FPS min 21Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| Medium | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 31FPS min 28Acceptable | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| Low | 67FPS min 59Good | 41FPS min 37Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 52% | GPU 71% | GPU 90% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
Almost any modern CPU performs the same here: there is only 0% between the slowest and the fastest in the table. If you were wondering whether to upgrade your processor for Fortnite, it is not worth it. 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 R9 380 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 30 | 38 | 44 |
| 1440p | 18 | 24 | 30 |
| 4K | 6 | 9 | 11 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The R9 380 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the R9 380 is what caps the frame rate in Fortnite. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the R9 380 Enough for Fortnite?
The R9 380 delivers 30 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Fortnite. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 18 FPS and at 4K 6 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
