Discord lowering FPS in games?

[salmonboyak]

So recently I’ve been noticing that whenever I’m playing games with friends, my FPS drops quite a bit. One game in particular is Fortnite, in which the FPS drops 20-30 frames from my usual 90 FPS when I’m playing alone. No matter what I do, turned down the graphics; no difference, reinstalled discord; no difference, updated drivers; still nothing, checked my GPU temperature; seems to be fine.

If anyone could give me any advice on what to do that would be really nice.

My specs are: PNY GTX 1050, i5 7500, 8gb of ram.

I have i3-2100 cpu and it only takes 5% of it's power. 8gb ram is plentiful because discord only take like 50mb. Discord doesn't use your graphics card.
