How quality settings affect this build โ€” Fortnite at 1080p

Dropping settings only helps while the GPU is the limit. Once the label reads CPU, lowering quality stops buying frames on this pairing.

Bottleneck by resolution

Raising resolution shifts load from the CPU to the GPU, so the balance of this pairing changes with the display it drives. Note this measures imbalance, not speed โ€” the lowest figure is usually the lowest resolution, which is not the one to play at. Read it alongside the limiting part.
