    tps://store.acer.com/en-ie/acer-swift-3-pro-ultra-thin-laptop-sf313-53-silver

    Intel® Core™ i5-1135G7 processor Quad-core 2.40 GHz

    34.3 cm (13.5") QHD (2256 x 1504) 3:2 IPS

    16 GB, LPDDR4X

    512 GB SSD

    Intel® Iris Xe Graphics shared memory

    I've been playing fortnite for years. When it originally came out, it played great on my 6th gen intel with hd620 GPU. I bought the above 11th gen laptop when my 6th gen started struggling. However the 11th gen doesn't feel like an upgrade - at all. Despite, newer CPU, double the RAM and several generations increase in GPU. where am I going wrong?

    Could it be drivers? Are you running the latest ones?

    "Low-power Iris Xe integrated graphics

    Like Intel's integrated GPU lineup, Xe LP cannot run the latest AAA titles at an acceptable resolution and playable framerate. Thus, if gamers are looking at a device powered by an Xe LP chip, they should know that it won't be capable of playing anything more than PS2-era games."

    Some from this I think its the GPU causing issues for you.

    Fortnite ran fine on Intel hd620 five years when I first got my older laptop. That is why I'm surprised it is running worse now on Intel Xe which is allegedly twice as fast as Intel hd620

    New screen is much higher resolution than your old laptop I'd say is the main reason. Assume it was 1080P? that 78% more pixels to shift. You may have had settings turned down or optimised also on old laptop.
