In almost every online game, players take note of the fps rate to make sure that their gameplay will be smooth-sailing. Having a higher fps rate will give you a more fluid movement and reaction in the game, especially if you are playing "Fortnite."
Some gamers pay attention to this because it's another indicator of victory. If you want to see your "Fortnite" FPS, here's what you need to do.

Here's how to view your FPS rate in "Fortnite."
For those unfamiliar with framerate, this simply refers to frames per second or fps. It dictates how a game will run on your computer.
If you're getting a higher fps rate, then your in-game motion will encounter no problem. However, if it tends to be lower than usual or below 30fps, then you will definitely experience "lag" where your on-screen display will be choppy.
It should be noted that detecting the FPS rate on "Fortnite" will only work for PC gamers. Those who play on Xbox or PS5 have a different setting for this option. Their fps can reach 60 fps or 120 fps.
If you have a low-end computer, you might struggle to play. The best thing you can do to avoid getting low fps is to slowly upgrade your PC to meet the game's minimum requirements.
How to See Your FPS in 'Fortnite'
If you're lagged in "Fortnite" because of the irregular jump in fps, you will have difficulty aiming at your opponent. To view your FPS, just head to the game's settings menu and search for the "video tab."
Once you're already here, continue scrolling to the bottom until you see the "Show FPS" setting. Activate it right away by turning it on.
Upon switching your FPS counter, you will see it on the bottom left of the screen. This will help you assess if your frame rate is dropping or if you can play "Fortnite" with your current fps.
Make sure you regularly check the status of your computer. Having a mid-range or high-end graphics card will solve your headache.
