I logged onto Fortnite at some point in the last week and realised I had massive frame drops from a constant 160 fps to spiking 70-80 fps when looking at named places on the map (various buildings in one spot) from a distance and when looking at large amounts of player made builds. I know this is a hardware related issue as I have reinstalled Fortnite and also done a fresh start on my PC.

I also now have an issue with massive frame drops and visual lag on Fortnite when I have another app open or have a video playing on my second monitor. I have been able to watch videos in full screen and have various other apps open on my second monitor while holding a constant 160 fps (Capped) on Fortnite previous to this.

Things I've tried:
- Fresh Start PC
- Reinstall Fortnite
- Take out a piece of RAM
- Swap Ram Positions.
- Change Power points
- Taken an Intel Diagnostic Tool test and passed.
- Change my second monitor back to the Graphics Card from an Integrated Graphics setup


My Specs:

- GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU
- 16 GB Ram (Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400MHz)
- MSI B250M Gaming Pro Motherboard
- Antec Basiq VP-600P 600W Power Supply

- Cooler Master Hyper 212X CPU Cooler
- Running 144Hz at 1280x1080


Please give me any solutions or fixes I could try that could fix my pc :(

Are you on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard? You may want to pull up Resource Monitor and see what sort of numbers you're getting when the system is idle and when taxed with Fortnite. You forgot to include the make and model of your PSU. Have you also tried uninstalling and reinstalling your GPU drivers?

No matter where I am looking playing fortnite my CPU is at an average of 40-45% of usage at 4GHz and when idle (fortnite closed) around 5% usage at an average of 2.2GHz
