Why can't my Gtx 1050ti play games?

[bensaint03]

I have GTX1050ti and even though the can i run it website says I should be able to run fortnite on recommended settings, I can't. The same goes for Overwatch. I'm on windows 10, have 12 gb ram and an i5-6400 gpu. Can anyone help? Oh and when I installed the card I removed the drivers I think and have used the DDU app to remove them too but does anyone know a way that I can check if they are removed as I know that's another problem, thanks

Who said you need to remove drivers? You only use DDU if you want no corrupted files when installing a newer driver version or when you install a different GPU card. For full performance it's recommend to use the latest Nvidia drivers.

Your monitor is connected to the card not the motherboard?

No it was because I recently updated the graphics card with a gtx 1050ti

I think that it's connected to the GPU. Should it be?

To the GPU is correct, the motherboard connection is for the built in HD on the CPU.

So what should I do, or what should I upgrade? As my GPU is good for it, so is my RAM and my core i5 so..?

It should run fine on the latest drivers for the card, your specs are more than satisfactory for the game.
