fortnite using 100% gpu usage
When i play fortnite it randomly jumps to around 100% like 92-96 and 100% then goes back down to my normal gpu usage like 40-60 sometimes and my fps goes down to around 30 but my normal fps averages like 170-240 ive tried everything to fix this i have no clue what the issue is its only fortnite that has this issue my specs are
System Model GF63 Thin 11SC
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H @ 2.70GHz, 2688 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

You want your GPU to be 98% ~ 100%, it's the CPU you don't want at 100%.

GPU pushing frames = fps.
Cpu limit cap of frames.

If GPU is 100% it means it working to it fullest, giving max frames it can give you.

If the GPU is lower than 100% then not working to fullest, example you said 40 - 60 that means you only get half the performance let say at 100% get you 100 fps, at 50% you be 50 fps. Now there couple reasons why it not being at 100%, either A) game not optimize well to having unstable performance, B) Certain parts of the game does not need much performance such as game menu, and etc which it limits, and remove limit when get into the actual game match, C) If your CPU hitting 100% then means game too demanding for your CPU to process things so can't make full use of your GPU as you need turn processing settings down like shadows, reflection, or etc...

I’ve experienced similar issues with Fortnite on my laptop. One thing that helped me was lowering the graphics settings, even if my system could theoretically handle higher settings. Keeping them at medium to high, instead of ultra, significantly reduced those random GPU usage spikes.

Another trick is to make sure your drivers are up-to-date and to close any background applications that might be hogging resources. It also wouldn't hurt to check your system's temperature; sometimes overheating can cause these performance drops. As a last resort, I tried using an HWID spoofer for some additional stability, and it surprisingly helped.

You can find it here [lol-script.com] if you’re interested. It was pretty straightforward to use, and I noticed fewer performance issues afterward.

Try turning v-sync on.

He doesn't. Apparently OP doesn't realize that Fortnite has its own forums (and Fortnite itself does not exist on Steam).
