how to turn off v sync on fortnite 2026

Turn off V-Sync in Fortnite by opening Settings from the top-right profile icon, going to the Display section, and switching V-Sync to Off. Epic’s help page also says to hit Apply after changing it, and if you want the FPS cap to change too, adjust Frame Rate Limit in the same menu.

Quick steps

1. Launch Fortnite and go to the lobby.
2. Click your Player Profile icon in the top right.
3. Open Settings.
4. Stay on the Display tab.
5. Set V-Sync to Off.
6. Click Apply.

If it seems unchanged

• Make sure you actually clicked Apply.
• Check Frame Rate Limit too, since V-Sync can affect how FPS behaves.
• Epic notes that in the lobby your FPS may still be limited depending on window and rendering mode, so test it in an actual match.

Why people disable it

Turning V-Sync off usually reduces input delay and lets Fortnite run with fewer frame restrictions, which is why many competitive players keep it off.

TL;DR: Profile icon → Settings → Display → V-Sync Off → Apply.
