Intel arc a730m poor performance in fortnite

[Benjileopold]

I have an intel nuc 15 laptop with a730m graphics card, i bought this new laptop in hope that it will be much better than my previous laptop with intel 8300h processor and gtx 1060. In synthetic benchmarks it is twice as fast as my previous graphic card and it consumes more than twice as much power as gtx 1060, so basically there is no performance per watt advantage even though it has more advanced 6 nm process node and freaking 21 billion transistors. But the worst part is that this much newer arc a730m graphic card produces worse fps in fortnite (performance mod or dx12 low settings) than 8 year old graphics adapter from nvdia, plz intel do smth about it, make fortnite work faster

Hi, Benjileopold.

Thank you for posting in our Intel communities.

I'm missing some key details about your hardware and software configuration (e.g. Intel Arc graphics driver version, errors logged in the system) so please run Intel SSU (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/18377/intel-system-support-utility-for-windows.html) and share it with us.

Are you observing the low FPS exclusively on Fortnite? Benchmarking individual games can be tricky, so it is best to provide actual data for us to clearly see the issue - can you share the average FPS data you see on Arc A730M vs. GTX 1060? You could use 3rd party tools such as CapFrameX (https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-ARC-Graphics/Need-help-Reporting-a-bug-or-issue-with-Arc-GPU-PLEASE-READ-THIS/td-p/1494429) to assist in this effort.

Please check this article: (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/gaming/resources/how-to-improve-fps-in-fortnite.html) that has useful tips to improve performance on Fortnite. In addition test by going to Windows -> Settings -> System -> Power - set "Power Mode" to 'Best performance'.
