Epic Games announced that they added Microsoft DirectX 12 for better performance when playing Fortnite on Windows PC.As noted in a blog post, Fortnite will get DirectX 12 support to allow PC players with higher-end GPUs to possibly experience a higher and more consistent frame rate.
At the moment, playing Fortnite on Windows PC requires a GPU capable of running Microsoft DirectX 11. Fortnite Battle Royale update v11.20 will add the capability to run DirectX 12 on Windows PC.
“By using DX12, PC players with high-end GPUs may experience a higher and steadier frame rate. This is because DX12 delivers better CPU performance and allows for the distribution of rendering jobs across multiple cores.
In the future, we plan on adding features to Fortnite that are made possible by DX12. Allowing players to opt into DX12 before these features are added will give us valuable information in our development efforts and help us shake out any bugs.”
In order to use DirectX 12, you need to change your Advanced Graphics settings, which can be found in the Video settings.
