I just upgraded my GTX 970 for an RTX 2060 so I could play warzone because there were constant fps drops with the 970. To my surprise when I installed the RTX 2060 I still had the same FPS for Fortnite and warzone also still have FPS drops. I have an i7-6700K and also just completely reset my computer. I think my i7 is damaged.
Heres the results from my user benchmark : https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/26488206

You have a single 8GB memory module? That's where you biggest problem is likely at. Not only do you lack enough memory for consistent performance but you are running in single channel with only a single DIMM, AND you are running very slow memory on top of that.

Your CPU is the same as mine, and mine runs perfectly fine with my RTX 2060 Super. I don't think your CPU is damaged at all. I think you have a lousy memory configuration and your CPU is underperforming because of it. You have only 8GB of 2400mhz memory, which is only running at 2133mhz so it's not properly configured in the BIOS anyhow, and it's running in single channel since you only have one DIMM rather than pair, which means you are running at half the memory bandwidth that...

Ram will definitely help. The difference between single channel and dual channel is pretty large. While you may not see massive gains in max fps, the lows will be much better. Leading to less drops and stutters. Going to 16 from 8 will also help if you're using anywhere close to 8 currently.

Your cpu doesn't seem like its performing poorly, but I think it should be boosting higher. The 6700 boosts to 4.0, iirc.

Do you have a z series board? You could try to enable mce to lock the cores at boost speed. It may help. But having only 8gb in single channel is still going to hurt you, especially if its using all of it, and have to page swap with a slow hdd.

Ram is still relatively affordable right now. With a 16gb kit of 3000 or 3200 going for 60ish to 75ish dollars.

What is your motherboard model?

Bumping graphics cards up doesn't automatically raise fps. Common mistake. Fps is set by the cpu and if it lacks ram or bandwidth or storage speeds, it'll have low fps to send to the gpu. Gpu can't put on screen any more frames than the cpu gives it. Fix the cpu issues and you'll see higher fps.

thanks to everyone that helped I am new to this pc thing but I'm pretty sure my motherboard can't do dual channel ram as I only have 2 things to connect ram into I think. I mentioned the motherboard model above if anything ill do 2 single ones if that makes any sense at all lol

That board is a poor choice for that CPU. It's a very low end motherboard that has a very weak VRM configuration, no heatsinks on the motherboard VRMs AND only supports up to 2400mhz memory, which is much slower than what I'd recommend for use with that CPU. You should be using a 2 x4GB 3000mhz memory kit, minimum, and 2 x8GB 3200mhz would probably be the best recommendation if you want to see optimal performance from that CPU. However, seeing what board you are using it is probable that you are also seeing VRM throttling of the CPU under high load conditions, especially if used for extended periods of high loads.

There's just no way that board can handle that CPU adequately for gaming or demanding applications. And further, but of less importance, it obviously can't be overclocked on that board either. You want a Z board, or at the very least an H board with a much better VRM setup. Obviously, finding these boards these days is not a particularly easy task and they are much more expensive than they were when the platform was current, so that might take some doing and might not even be WORTH doing.

At the very least, I'd try to find another memory module exactly like the one you currently have, same exact model, speed, timings, etc., and install that, and then go into the BIOS and set the XMP profile. For now, until you do that, it would be prudent to go into the BIOS and enable the XMP profile for the module that you DO have installed, and to make sure that it is installed in the DIMM slot closest to the CPU.

Also, what cooler are you using? The 6700k did not come with a CPU cooler, so what are you using to cool it?

Those won't run at anything over 2400mhz so aside from having them down the road for a newer system, in which case it's wise, at least for use in THIS system, you've wasted your money by buying much more expensive sticks than you could likely have gotten away with.

There is ZERO chance of getting them to run at anything over 2400mhz on that motherboard. You need a Z series board to use faster than 2400mhz on 6th Generation platforms, and I said that already but either you didn't pay attention OR you decided to buy faster RAM so that if you upgrade the motherboard or the whole platform later you won't have to buy different memory at that time.
