GTX 1050 and Core i5-2400 and but graphical issues and long loading times

[rtm05]

I have a core i5-2400 and a GTX 1050 by MSI, occasionaly while in games like fortnite, buildings do not fully render in until 2 or 3 minutes after the game has started and loading times have sometimes exceeded 10 minutes. Is this caused by bottlenecking?

It could be, but I wonder if the bottleneck is your harddrive (ssd?). Do you have a harddrive activity light? Is it flashing constantly?

The OP reports that light is not blinking continuously. The problem sounds like textures are slow to load into graphics memory. When you pull up the resource monitor during loading of the game, which resources are running at 100%?

Sounds normal for,2GB of VRAM

But your frame rates don't drop? Sounds like a hard drive issue or other driver issue. I agree with Anotherdrew, check to see what if CPU or HD is being maxed out.

Also run Crystalinfo (or whatever SMART utility) to see.if there are any problems. If it's a mechanical hard drive, make sure you don't need a good old fashion defragging.

Fortnite ain't that VRAM intensive.
