Ever since Chapter 2 came out, Fortnite had been witnessing a steady decline in its user base. This trend is finally eroding away owing to the astounding success of the Marvel-themed season and Chapter 2 Season 5. While the former facilitated the return of many veterans, the latter has continued the momentum successfully.

It is safe to assume that the Fortnite community now comprises a lot of new players and returning players who had quit the game some time ago. Naturally, these players would require the best in-game settings to kick things off with a bang.

YouTuber itsJerian talked about the same in a recent video:

Is ray tracing any good on Fortnite?

Even though ray tracing is one of the most sought after features in this generation of gaming, it does not help a lot in Fortnite. The game significantly enhances details, but the FPS drops drastically. So much so, even an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 would deliver 60 FPS with ray tracing enabled.
