Hello fellas I have gtx 1060 6gb and I want to get myself new CPU , so my question is what is the best CPU for the best FPS in fortnite ? I want to get +200 FPS in the game 😛
 


The absolute best chip would probably be something around an i7-8700k or 9700k, or maybe even the 7700k. Problem is, I would like to know the name of the motherboard and/or chipset. I do not think you realize that is would not be easy to get +200 fps with only a GTX 1060, unless you turn down graphic settings heavily. Your GPU is going to be the main factor of your framerate, then the CPU. A more powerful CPU will not help if you have a crappy GPU and the same reversed. On 1080p, you *might* be able to get 200+ fps, but with the current rig, even with that shiny 8700k, you still would not be able to get framerates that high. If you are wanting THAT kind of fps, you would something a lot more high-end, not that a 1060 is not already that high-end. Plus, if your monitor doesn't even support a high enough refresh rate to see the benefit of 200 fps, then what is the point?

I am open to questions.

my specs are
GPU:gtx 1060 6gb
CPU:i5 2500
RAM:8gb ddr3
Motherboard is old but idk what it is
So what i need to change in my pc to get at least 200 FPS in fortniite, Thanks
 


What you have is a Sandy Bridge processor. The best processors you could most-likely upgrade to are the i7-2700k and the i7-2600. I am going to assume that your motherboard does not support overclocking because your i5 you have is non-overclockable. The i7-2600 is your best bet.

I have one question, what kind of monitor do you have? If you cannot figure out your exact model, can you at least tell me what brand and what resolution and refresh rate your monitor uses? If you can answer that, I can find a verdict on your gpu situation.

My monitor is crapy its 60hz 1080p but im willing to buy 144hz monitor with the new CPU that im asking about in here
 


i dont want to stick with my mobo ikr its very old so now what mobo and cpu should i get for the best fps in fortnite +200 or at least 200 ?
 


at this point it sounds like you are going to go for a new build. is your current computer a prebuilt PC like a dell or HP or is it a custom build?

also do you play any other games or do anything else on this PC?

 


it was a custom build
No i dont play other games i only play fortnite with friends and i dont do anything else no rendering videos or doing anything on my pc
 


in that case an intel core i5 8500 or AMD ryzen 5 build with 8GB of ram. that would meet the recommended requirements for the game plus some headroom for future games

note because of the age of your hardware you will have to get a new motherboard and ram too once you figure out what CPU you want to go with but you will still be able to use your 1060 with it

 


What do u mean by bottleneck also what is a twitch shooter ? and what do you think i should get , mobo and ram and cpu ?
 
Bottleneck as in it is the limiting factor. No matter what CPU you get the GPU will probably limit you to somewhere under 200.

Twitch shooter is something like CSGO

Honestly I think wanting 200 FPS on fortnite is stupid. High frame rates in general don’t make you a better player they just give you an advantage over those who are as good.
 




Ok guys so i have been searching a lot and i find out that the i7 6700k is a very good one , but my question is i'm i going to get a bottleneck or any problems ?
