Fortnite benchmark on RTX 3090: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Fortnite FPS with a RTX 3090 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 319FPS min 159Excellent | 267FPS min 142Excellent | 166FPS min 107Excellent |
| High | 415FPS min 207Excellent | 347FPS min 185Excellent | 216FPS min 139Excellent |
| Medium | 500FPS min 249Excellent | 454FPS min 242Excellent | 282FPS min 182Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 249Excellent | 500FPS min 267Excellent | 365FPS min 235Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 64% | CPU 58% | CPU 39% |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3090. There is 6% 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 3090 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 319 | 399 | 463 |
| 1440p | 267 | 360 | 441 |
| 4K | 166 | 241 | 307 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3090 does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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 RTX 3090 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.
Is the RTX 3090 Enough for Fortnite?
The RTX 3090 delivers 319 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Fortnite. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 267 FPS and at 4K 166 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
