Question 1

How does the AMD RYZEN 9 5900XT perform with AM4 platforms?

Accepted Answer

I echo the previous answers that this will play Fortnite without a problem and that you'll need a video card as well, but will include that if you are upgrading an existing motherboard (or even MB you are purchasing), make sure that motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT processor. If it is supported, it may need to be updated to the latest BIOS, BEFORE you swap in the new processor. So do your research beforehand so you don't get disappointed if it doesn't work.
