So im playing fortnite on low settings 1600x900 and im having fps problems.
My specs:
Gpu - Amd nitro rx 580 blue edition 8gb
Cpu - Amd fx 9590 4 GHZ 8 cores
RAM - Kingston 2x 4gb
SSD - Hyper x 250 gb
MBO - I forgot which one it is but i.know its quite good

I had nvidia gtx 560 and got up to 90 fps then i upgraded to nitro rx and i had 120 consistent and suddenly it droped to 100 110 with lots of sttuter. I know 100 fps is good but it feels like im playing on 30 or 40 fps ..Does anyone has the fix for it or it cant be fixed .. Coz i think with this specs i should have around 140 fps solid..

If you were doing well and subsequently got a drop in performance,

What changed?

Has, perhaps the cooler gotten dirty or the fan stopped working?

Try taking the case covers off and direct a house fan at the innards and see if that helps.

Your CPU is notorious for heat and power issues. Performance can be significantly impacted when the system (particularly the CPU and GPU) has to manage heat/power.

What are your CPU and GPU operating temperatures at idle and under load?

Also, what is the make/model of your power supply (PSU)?
 


And 8 GB of Ram is not a lot for Fortnite. Just to mention.
I currently run my System with 8GB and if i have like 2-3 Chrome Tabs open i also have some sttuter Ingame every now and then with a 120+FPS.
 


Monitor your temps closely of both the board and cpu. That fx 9590 is a known troublesome cpu and has major cooling issues and can cause boards to overheat.
