I updated my Macbook Pro to High Sierra so I could play Fortnite Battle Royale and because I thought an update would be nice. I get like 10-20 FPS in Fortnite with frequent 1-3 second lag spikes. Then I check my Minecraft to see if it is just my graphics card not being able to handle Fortnite. It turns out, my Minecraft is running at 30 to at most 50 fps. Before the update I was getting over 250 fps if I turn off my FPS cap, and I am pretty sure I could get upwards of 500 fps on Singleplayer with low settings. But after the update that all changed. It is not a hard drive problem, as I have about 500 gigs remaining. I have a feeling it is my ram. Is there anything about the update that changes ram allocation, or a setting, or anything that would cause a performance change and make my gaming experience crap?
Just so you know, it is a 2012 Macbook Pro with 2.9ghz (really 3.6 since the mac turbo boost by default) Intel i7 processor, 8 gigs of ram, and the only bad thing really, an Intel 4000 graphics card.
*Also note that I checked Activity Monitor and I have plenty of spare ram and CPU is fine.
