Fortnite Performance Mode Launching Today for Low End PCs
Dec 15, 2020 04:46 EST
Epic Games announced the availability of a Fortnite Performance Mode starting today on PC. This mode, currently in Alpha, has been designed to deliver a smoother experience on lower-powered configurations.
The developer is promising 'significant performance gains', though of course, it'll be a tradeoff for lowered visual quality. Fortnite Performance Mode currently only supports Battle Royale and Creative Mode, which means you won't be able to use it in the Save the World mode for the time being.
In order to enable Performance Mode, selecting it under the Video Settings, then Rendering Mode. Additionally, players will now be able to opt out of installing high-resolution textures on PC through the following procedure; this will save about 14GB, bringing the total Fortnite install size to just 17GB.
