💡 Fortnite: Turn off Lumen/Nanite (the "Epic" lighting) for a big FPS jump on weaker GPUs.
🚀 Biggest free win: enable DLSS (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

At 1080p expect around 63 FPS, at 1440p about 62 FPS, and at 4K roughly 43 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is DLSS upscaling — set it to Quality.
