Hi -
Just can't figure out whats going on with my computer. I bought a brand new, quite high end computer in September/October '21, and while playing games like COD etc. the performance is great; once I play Fortnite its terrible.
I have updated drivers, I have tried all different setups in settings like changing DirectX Mode etc.
It seems to be a CPU issue as while in task manager (or equivalent for monitoring) its at 100%, mostly used by Fortnite.
Setup is:
Intel i9-11900
RTX 3080 Phoenix
Corsair DDR4 2666mhz 32GB ram
1TB Kingston A2000 NVMe M.2 SSD
750W PSU
While I first got the PC performance in all games where great; including Fortnite. Now, its not anymore. FPS drops from 140 to 60-70 in "high stress situations" etc. Mostly very unstable and the game is quite unplayable - which sucks as its the only game I now play with my son.
Thanks for all help, and I came here because I see a lot of the posts I get in my Google searches are from here Hope you guys can help out figure it out, as it makes no sense to me. But I am also quite the beginner.
Thanks, and if you have any questions - go ahead - I'll answer as swiftly & concisely as possible
