Birblover offered a helpful idea. If you're okay with disassembling your laptop, consider swapping out the thermal paste—it could be outdated and affecting performance. After that, try boosting the GPU settings to see if medium performance is achievable. By the way, I wasn't criticizing your laptop; it's a solid machine that may still perform well for some time. I just wanted to mention it might be challenging to improve Fortnite results. Apologies if this came across negatively. Wishing you success and good luck!
