2 of the same game running at once?

[Ruben_Samich]

Ok, so me and my brother wanted to play fortnite together, but his laptop couldn't handle it. My PC can handle it with no problem, but he's not a gamer, so he just has his normal laptop. But today I thought, hey maybe I could run two instances of the game. I have 2 monitors. And when I play it, (which isn't often pubg is 10x better) I get 80-100 fps on max settings.

So I'm wondering

1. If it's possible to run it twice
and 2. could my PC handle it (even on minimum settings 30 fps)

My specs are:
core i5 2400 2nd gen
8GBs DDR3 RAM
and a GTX 1050 ti.

The only thing I'm really worrying about is my CPU as its fairly old.

No it's impossible. You'd have to run a virtualized environment for that to even be possible. Even if you could get it working, running two games in a VM drastically reduces efficiency so your frame rates will barely be playable, unless of course you get a new PC.

To add to Techy's answer, you'd also need to buy two copies of the game to be able to have you and your brother logged on at the same time. Setting up a VM on your PC and installing another copy of the game would work but that would eat up all your PC resources in a hurry as you'd basically be running two operating systems.
