If you want to be extra safe, then use the default skin with no back bling and the default pickaxe. So the best thing you can do to protect your FPS is to only use basic skins, back bling, and pickaxes. Unfortunately, there are literally millions of different outfit combinations and it would take me forever to test everything.īut we know for sure that using certain skin combinations can dramatically lower your FPS. Now I don’t know if it’s the skins themselves, or if it’s the combination of back bling and pickaxe that is causing the change in FPS. I’ll admit, when I first saw the Tweet, I thought it was bait to get more impressions.īut it turns out that your skin choice in Fortnite really does matter more than for just aesthetic reasons or to create more space on your screen. The fact is that the skin you use in Fortnite can significantly affect your FPS and this discovery is still mindblowing to me. Why does using low settings have a greater impact on the FPS difference between skins than high settings? Conclusion ![]() This was surprising and made me even more confused. You can see that this time the average FPS, 1% low FPS, and 0.1% low FPS are almost the same. Here are the results when the tests were run using Epic settings: I knew that using higher settings would reduce my FPS, and I thought it would have a greater impact on the Calamity skin because of the animations. So I tested the default skin against the Calamity skin combination again. I was interested to find out what would happen to my FPS when using higher settings. But simple skins (like the default skin) can give you better FPS. So skins with a lot of visuals could lower your FPS because there are more animations to render. The theory is that the FPS loss with certain skins may have something to do with the way animations are rendered with Unreal Engine’s Chaos Physics System. These results honestly shocked me and I couldn’t believe them.īut I had the same results each time. Using the Calamity skin combination made my average FPS drop by more than 140 in comparison to the default skin.Īlso, the 1% low and 0.1% low FPS were significantly less. You can see that the default skin does get the highest average FPS.Īnd the Calamity skin combination had by far the lowest FPS.
