Epic says a PC at the minimum specification should run the game, but probably not at the highest settings.
Performance Mode, Nanite, Lumen, live events, and match conditions are outside GamePerfHub's current estimate dimensions.
Can my PC run it?
Check the whole requirement, not one part
- Open Windows System Information and note your exact CPU, installed RAM, and OS.
- Open Task Manager or your GPU control panel and note the exact GPU and dedicated VRAM.
- Confirm free storage, required graphics API support, and any platform-specific security requirement.
- Compare every field with one official tier. A stronger GPU does not compensate for an unsupported OS or CPU instruction set.
- After compatibility is confirmed, use the FPS Calculator for a supported GPU-side performance reference.
Read the tiers correctly
Requirements are not an FPS guarantee
Meeting minimum requirements answers whether the game has a supported starting point. It does not establish 60, 144, or 240 FPS.
For a target-FPS check, confirm every requirement first, then use the Fortnite FPS Calculator for a supported GPU, resolution, and preset.
