Improve Fortnite's refresh rate on your Mac
Everyone needs to accept it right away, Fortnite on Mac doesn’t have a good graphic rendering compared to Windows, consoles, and even mobile devices. This is mainly because the majority of Mac has an inbuilt chip in the motherboard, and the motherboard has less power than a graphics card.
Either recently launched or high-end, Macs come with stand-alone GPUs and can provide a very good Fortnite gaming experience.
Get to know that Epic Games doesn’t focus on the macOS environment. Some players have encountered some problems related to textures (images plastered on a surface), bugs, frame rates, etc.
If you are one of them, then try uninstalling the old version and reinstalling Fortnite on your Mac.
Here are our two tips to improve the graphics rendering of Fortnite in your mac and avoid any slowdown.
Change graphics settings
We recommend that you set all your graphics settings to the Low option on your Mac. To do this go to Settings.
In the Graphics tab, select Low for Textures, Post-Processing, Effects, and set Maximum Refresh Rate to Unlimited.
In this way, you can optimize your frame rate manually, but you will be sacrificing visuals quality slightly. Fortnite is one of the few games that remain decent, even with reduced graphics
Stop the execution of other programs
To play smoothly, we recommend that you close all the background applications.
This allows your Mac to get more power for running Fortnite, rather than being drained by programs like Google Chrome.
