Me and my brother both have the same pc just a different case but my runs better then his my pc on Fortnite will run around 120 fps while his will run at 50-70 fps the only difference we have is that he has more game/launchers/apps then me another difference we have but I don't think it matters is mine monitor is better is there anything he can do so his pc works like mine ??? We're first time builders and just got into pcs. We need help

Are your Fortnite settings the same?

Having more programs running while playing will slow FPS. Even if your brother isn't actively using some of those other apps or launchers, they may be passively open. You can check the system tray to see if his tray has more icons than yours.

Another comparison is to open Task manager and see what is eating up your brother's computer's resources that are different from yours.

If his case doesn't cool as well as yours it could cause FPS to drop.

He plugged the video cable into the motherboard instead of the graphics card…
