I have a AMD 3600x and Rtx 2070 I had stutter problems to, heres some things that i have done to COMPLETLEY FIX this issue (well atleast 85-95%). I have made it so that the fixes that are most likely to fix stuttering to be on the top part of the list :
if you like high shadows you can save some performance by setting post processing to medium/low. and effects on medium/low. setting view distance to medium. I Reccomend Medium or High textures. I will reconsider higher settings once fortnite has been patched to fix performance issues.
setting nvidia reflex to on instead of on+boost, you can also try off (i use off)!, my theory is that some processors need a larger buffer to work without stutters on fortnite particularly ryzen but also intel. i have read many cases on this. I used to reccomend setting fortnite to high priority in taskmanager, however its been patched out which is very sad, it would have given 1-10 fps, but i do reccomend downloading process lasso which should gain you like 1-5fps, more details later in guide.

find easy anti cheat in c/programs/easyanticheat and run the repair, this can make a huge difference.
disable fullscreen optimizations in c/pograms/epicgames/fortnite.exe
in nvidia(i m unsure for amd), set shader cache size to unlimited or 100gb, the default size is 4gb which is really small!!! shader cache is when the computer tries to store instructions on how to render the game. Most stutters in games occur under shader caching. This one can make a huge difference.
get the program in this link and make sure to run it everytime you reboot, just use it to make sure that it is 1ms, 0,500ms can stutter a bit but has highest performance, if its not at 1ms youtube search "disable hpet cmd", try both settings and see what you like!

Anti virus like kaspersky, norton and bitdefender have game modes that offfer tiny fps boosts 0.5-10fps, kaspersky being most efficent, but if you like Windows Defender just use Windows defender. Be aware that kaspersky will corrupt mining crypto mining software if you have it. in one test CS GO at low settings, they managed 360fps with kaspersky, and 350fps with windows defender.
Limit the fortnite fps to 60 or 120+, you can make a custom config in %appdata%local/fortnite, I reccomend trying 60, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 110, 115fps as your limit. RivaTuner has better frametimes/less stutters however it ads 11ms lag at 120fps which is not that much if your optimized good otherwise !!You should limit your fps in someway to reduce stutters!! make sure it reaches the frame limit 90% of the time or better for minimal stutter!!!! recently i have been having black screen bugs with my 4790k gtx 1060 rig, and the only solution for me was to limit 85fps in riva tuner, cant do it in fortnite config file as it caused black screen, but worked DAYS AGO (update, i have fixed the black screen issue by disabling auto turn off screen after 15 minutes in battery/power settings, it caused an issue in my windows build making it black screen in games after first activation).

experiment by putting your mouse in a different usb, usually the usbs right next to the ps/2 plug are configured to be faster but really just try different plugs (google ps/2 port), some people say setting your mouse to 500hz can make a difference on stutters but it did not for me. Right now i m experimenting with having the mouse usb plugged closest to the ps/2 usb hub, and my keyboard on a seperate to avoid keyboard from affecting the same usb hub that the mouse is being used on, i have no idea if it is improving anything.
google fortnite dx12 exploit protection fix, (common fix for dx12 games)
keep performance monitors like afterburner off as it can take 1-3fps however you want to make sure that your settings apply with windows startup.
get chipset drivers for cpu (its basically your cpu driver)
dlss scaling can gain you a fair amount of performance on rtx cards, and looks particularly good in 1440p 50-66%, 1080p 66% also looks decent.
disable high resolution textures in epic games launcher fortnite settings, however i prefer it on, but if you want minimal stutters this one can make a huge difference on like a gt1030 or gtx 660 system
remember to use DDU for every nvidia or amd gpu driver you install, your gonna want to do this in offline mode and plug ur ethernet out, to prevent pc from auto installing a crappy driver before you install the driver your gonna actually use
get drivers for SSD if possible
enable process lasso smart trim, performance mode and probalance, exclude games like fortnite from probalance, do this by right clicking fortnite in process lasso and a menu should pop up
disable high precision event timer in device manager and in bios if possible (not possible on asus motherboards) in bios its called Hpet, youtube search "disable hpet cmd" as well
install a lite version of windows 11>10 or tinker manually for 2 days with a windows debloat/optimizing guide, you can also get razer cortex and the program will basically do it for you but you will get slighly more fps from a custom lite OS (1-9fps maybe?).

make a custom nvidia profile for fortnite with very high performance modifications (google a guide or if your experienced u can just tinker yourself)
make sure nvidia scaling is set to Display>Gpu as it will make the game have slightly less input lag, newer cards do have excellent gpu scaling though (good for playing 900p scaled to 1080p for an example but it wont affect dsr scaling). Also image scaling (which requires gpu scaling) goes very well with temporal aliasing. For me though i just use fast anti aliasing, it makes 1080p look very sharp. Also reccomend DLSS for best performance if you dont have any problems with the look, it can looks slightly blurry at 1080p 66% but 1440p 50% looks great.
reset modem, router and other internet devices, can impact online games.
In power management set pc power to process lasso bitsum highest performance, if you experience more stutters roll back to ryzen highest performance or high performance for Intel CPUS. Experiment with what works best. Heck even try
update to latest bios
follow a bios debloat/optimizing guide
disable steam while playing fortnite as it take some minor performance (1-2fps), you can also disable it from auto turning on in task manager in startup options
getting fastest possible ram for your settup ( i have heard some stutter removal success stories from this)
keep in mind that fortnite needs to shader cache a lot so it will stutter a lot the first 10 games you do after a fortnite patch or fresh install. you can mitigate this somewhat by landing in somewhat the same area
