What form factor/size is your 9020?

Fortnite only requires Intel HD 4000 graphics.  If you have an i7-4790, you already have HD 4600.  A couple of screengrabs below:

Are you having trouble running Fortnite and what is your 9020's configuration?  While Fortnite only requires 4GB RAM, 8GB is much more ideal for Win10.

If you're interested in any graphics cards, I can't suggest any without knowing form factor.

The Fortnite system requirements for the best performance:

  • Core i5 2.8 GHz processor
  • 8GB of system RAM
  • Nvidia GTX 660 or AMD Radeon HD 7870 equivalent DX11 GPU
  • 2 GB VRAM

    I suggest msi GTX 1050 2GB, low profile, with optional full height or half height bracket so it can be used in either 9020 MT or SFF.  This card does not need psu upgrade (Recommended PSU Wattage: 237 W, stock 255w psu enough for this card) and it is faster than gtx 660 by 28%. redxps630_1-1663051799752.jpeg

What @redxps630 gave is recommended system requirements vs. the minimum system requirements that I gave.  I missed the little bold print saying "minimum."

If you have a USFF or micro, there's no expansion slots for GPU cards.
