    I assume you are talking about HD graphics and nothing more than that?


    I'd try and get a second hand 960 or 1060 max. Anything better than that and the 9-year old mid-level processor will bottleneck things for you. Also, given the prices of graphics cards these days, I would just get the minimum you need.


    Fortnite minimum requirements

    • Memory: 4 GB
    • Graphics Card: Intel HD 4000
    • CPU: Intel Core i3-3225
    • File Size: 15 GB
    • OS: Windows 7/8/10 64-bit

    Fortnite recommended requirements

    • Memory: 8 GB
    • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
    • CPU: Intel Core i5-7300U
    • File Size: 15 GB
    • OS: Windows 7/8/10/11 64-bit
