Fortnite was released in 2018. We list 16 published FPS results for it from Notebookcheck, covering 8 graphics cards. Steam lists Intel HD Graphics 4000 as the minimum graphics card, about what integrated graphics deliver today. Against those results our estimate landed within ±30% 12 of 16 times.

Frame rate cap: none on record. We have no record of an engine frame limit for Fortnite, so our estimates assume it runs uncapped. V-Sync, an in-game limiter or your monitor's refresh rate can still hold it lower.
