In summary, getting less input delay requires a "minimalist" approach: stripping away visual flair in favor of raw performance. By combining , NVIDIA Reflex , and high polling rates , you create a seamless link between your intentions and the game's execution.

The most impactful way to reduce delay is to maximize your frame rate (FPS). Higher FPS naturally lowers system latency because the engine processes inputs more frequently.

Right-click the Fortnite executable, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations."

Switch to Performance Mode (Lower Graphical Fidelity) . This is the gold standard for competitive play as it drastically reduces CPU and GPU overhead.

In the NVIDIA or AMD control panel, set "Power Management Mode" to Prefer Maximum Performance and "Low Latency Mode" to Ultra . 3. Peripheral Polling Rates and Overclocking

A 144Hz or 240Hz monitor displays frames faster than a standard 60Hz screen, reducing the gap between an input and its visual representation.

Always run Fortnite in Fullscreen , not Windowed or Windowed Fullscreen. This gives the game direct control over the display output, bypassing the Windows Desktop Window Manager.

Always turn V-Sync Off . While it prevents screen tearing, it introduces significant input lag by forcing the GPU to wait for the monitor’s refresh cycle. 2. Fine-Tuning Windows and GPU Drivers
