specs:
a6-6400k @3.9ghz (yes i know this is quite a big bottleneck...)
asus 1060 3gb single fan
4gb ddr3 1600 ram
windows 10 home edition 64 bit
500W B evga
7200RPM 160gb hard drive
avg idle cpu temp: 38C
i recently got into Fortnite and I was (surprisingly) hitting an average 65 fps at low settings (except for anti aliasing). however i would get frequent frame drops and lag spikes ranging from .5 to 2 seconds. sometimes the game would freeze with no way to close it without task manager and sometimes a message pops up saying i ran out of video memory when trying to allocate a texture that closes my game once i close the popup. could my low system ram or graphics card ram amount be causing the spikes?
