No, it's not your CPU.
Hello, I’m just starting out with PC builds and have been using mine for about a year. I play Fortnite, and my performance has been getting worse lately. My frames are dropping rapidly, even when I’m playing at medium settings. I’ve got a Ryzen 5 2600 with a GB/16 and an EVGA RTX 2080. I thought the issue was overheating, so I added a deepcastle 240EX, but it’s still lagging and I rarely reach above 120 frames. Could there be another factor affecting my setup?
Use HWinfo to track CPU and GPU speeds and temperatures during games. Ensure your PC isn't in power-saving mode via the control panel settings. Verify everything appears correct, then consider updating your drivers. If issues persist, use DDU for further troubleshooting.
You might also set up Msi Afterburner for system tracking. It offers a feature to show performance data on your display, allowing you to monitor events as they occur.
