Optimal Hardware Suggestions

Fortnite system requirements are quite basic. Utilizing the unreal engine as well as choosing to use more ‘animated’ graphics than that of its competitors helps keep the barriers to entry quite low. To run Fortnite smoothly, you will need Windows 7 64-bit or higher, and the CPU should be at least an Intel Core i3 processor with 4GB RAM or an AMD equivalent being a Ryzen 1st generation CPU or a Ryzen APU. On the GPU front, a simple integrated GPU would suffice such as Intel HD 4000 or Vega 8 or 11 graphics. Otherwise, a GPU which has at least 2GB VRAM, so GPUs such as the RX570 or 1050TI are more than capable of running Fortnite, however, you would need to lower the video settings in-game.
