With the introduction of these UE5 features in Fortnite Battle Royale, Fortnite’s Video settings have changed on PC:
“Rendering Mode” Setting
- Moved from the “Advanced Graphics” section to the “Display” section.
- DirectX 12 is now the default rendering mode on PCs with certain higher-end GPUs.
- The “Performance” rendering mode is no longer in beta and is now called “Performance – Lower Graphical Fidelity.”
“VSync” Setting
- Moved from the “Advanced Graphics” section to the “Display” section.
“Motion Blur” Setting
- Moved from the “Advanced Graphics” section to the “Graphics” section.
- Is now off by default.
- “Auto-Set Quality” in the “Graphics Quality section” will never turn this setting on, but it may turn it off on a lower-spec PC.
For PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S users, they must make sure the “120 FPS Mode” setting (in the “Graphics” section of the Video settings) is set to off.
