Yes
~84 FPS at 1080p with optimized settings

The NVIDIA RTX 3060 (12GB) is a mainstream 1080p card with 12GB of VRAM, and Fortnite is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU it averages about 84 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 85 FPS with everything on High.

💡 Fortnite: Turn off Lumen/Nanite (the "Epic" lighting) for a big FPS jump on weaker GPUs.

At 1080p expect around 84 FPS, at 1440p about 68 FPS, and at 4K roughly 61 FPS with optimized settings. Fortnite doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
