weird frame drops in fortnite

[Airpewdiepie]

i was playing fortnite and noticed an AWFUL frame drops, from 20 fps to 4 and it lasts about a minute

My specs:

Intel celeron N2840 2c/2t

Intel HD

4gb of ddr3 ram 1300 mhz

windows 7 pro (installed 3 days ago( not activated tho))

please someone help me diagnose what could be causing it

Play at a lower resolution and/or lower settings. Change your power plan to high performance and see what happens.

 

Don't expect much with Intel HD Graphics tbh.

Intel HD Graphics is the reason

Does it happen when you jump out of the battle bus?

Your PC isn't powerful enough for Fortnite, that's what's happening. Random FPS drops wouldn't surprise me in a rig like that. You might be overheating or it might just be that the components aren't powerful enough.

I don't think it's possible for a Celeron to overheat unless you don't have a cooler attached to it. Dual core with no HT? And HD graphics? Recipe for disaster.

@Airpewdiepie surely you could get a GTX 750 off eBay for like $40

Fortnite's minimum requirements are an i3 2.4 GHz, 4 GBs of RAM and an Intel HD 4000. Your Celeron N2840 isn't enough and gaming on an iGPU isn't a good idea to begin with. The minimum requirements aren't for optimal performance, they're exactly what the name means, "minimum".

I'm not sure what any of this means, but you can just slap a 750 into any system, it's super low power.

A GDC EXP is an externel GPU dock for laptops. OP probably has a laptop.
