[SOLVED] FPS Stability

[Tekarzik]

Hi! I recently reinstalled my Windows 10 and installed all the drivers I need to play games. My games are running at a high fps and are very stable, but my frames in Fortnite aren't that stable as they used to be after reinstalling the Windows and sometimes graphics would take time to load even though that normally never happens. Anyways after playing 2 matches my fps seemed to get more stable, but still not that good as usual and graphics still take more than usual to load. I tried to reinstall the game and some drivers and I also optimized my system. What should I do?

This is more info about my system if it helps:

More ram will help. You are very possibly running out of ram with only 8gbs system ram there. Once it maxes out it starts to stutter, with dropped FPS.

Is your ram 1 x8 gb, or 2 x 4gb? Either way, you should consider 2 x 8gb matched kit which should solve your issue.

I am using 1 x8 gb, but besides this problem there are two weird things that I noticed that I didn't had before reinstalling my Windows and I reinstalled it quite often in 3 years and I heard that my HDD could be broke because of this. One time I tried running the game I got a black screen that wasn't coming off and I had to force restart my PC to solve it and the other thing is that sometimes when playing CS:GO there is a weird lag that takes a second, but it's not a framedrop. Someone told me that my HDD could be failing, but I did some tests and everything seems fine.

I just saw that I'm using only 5.90gb of ram out of 8gb. I assume that is the problem. Here is a screenshot:

Yes, additionally, some of your ram is reserved for hardware. So if you check Task Manager, it will tell you how much ram is reserved. That leaves you with very little ram. If you happen to have a few tabs of chrome open at the same time, you will use up the remaining ram, and then you get the stutters, fps drops, or lag.
