Bad FPS

[cakez]

I've always had pretty good frame rate in Games(Overwatch, Fortnite). I don't remember the exact frame rate but it was always smooth, there were no drops, and it was all good. However last week, fortnite was experiencing heavy frame drops, down from 60 to 10. I updated drivers for my 1050, and it was all good again. Constant 60fps at all times. This week when I was playing overwatch, I was having pretty bad frames drops to 20, and I was averaging 40 fps. I checked fortnite in case it was a game issue,  but fortnite was having frame drops too. I can't find a  solution. All temps are fine. haven't changed settings. Haven't installed anything other than drivers since then. Did malware scan. Any ideas?

This guy's running EPIC settings and has constant 60FPS. I'm running high at 40

Maybe try cleaning out your pc from dust, because if its dropping a lot it could be because of thermal throttling.

Both GPU and CPU are at 50 degrees. I'll try cleaning it though. Haven't in a while.
