Thank you! I’ll see if this fixes my problem, but if I downloaded GEFORce experience the drivers have updates :/ should I do it ?

Not for now, lets see how clean install affected fps first. I hope you had internet off when you installed these gpu drivers. Now turn all performance settings high again and try playing , any better or same?

It's a laptop. By default they ALWAYS clock down to save on battery. This is by design.

Should I just u install the drivers and update them to the latest ones?

Never game on just the battery, none of the things i said apply if your running only on battery.,

EDIT: if you still get drops in fortnite only after using power cable change the Directx option in fortnite settings and restart, that might help.

So should I just run games while plugged in?

Yes, even high end gaming laptops downclock when not plugged in.
