Fortnite benchmark on RX 470: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Fortnite FPS with a RX 470 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 40FPS min 35Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor | 8FPS min 7Unplayable |
| High | 51FPS min 45Acceptable | 32FPS min 28Acceptable | 10FPS min 9Unplayable |
| Medium | 67FPS min 59Good | 42FPS min 37Acceptable | 13FPS min 12Unplayable |
| Low | 87FPS min 77Good | 54FPS min 48Acceptable | 17FPS min 15Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 37% | GPU 61% | GPU 87% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 470. There is 8% 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 RX 470 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 40 | 50 | 58 |
| 1440p | 25 | 34 | 41 |
| 4K | 8 | 12 | 15 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 470 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 RX 470 is what caps the frame rate in Fortnite. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX 470 Enough for Fortnite?
The RX 470 delivers 40 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Fortnite. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 25 FPS and at 4K 8 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
