What graphics settings are you playing on? Maybe try putting them on low to see? That will increase the FPS most likely.

I do have them on low but still only getting like 12 FPS.

Hmm, try turning your resolution down in the game settings. I know that's not ideal but just to see if it helps.
What GPU do you have?

Okay I did and got up to 16 FPS but it still kept dropping. My GPU is Intel HD Graphics 620

Hmm that's a low end graphics card you got there. It's not gonna run dead by daylight very well at all, 12-15 FPS on low settings, which you've said. If you want it to run at say 60+FPS or something like that, you would probably need to upgrade the GPU I would say.
As I said, that's not an ideal GPU to have to run DBD unfortunately.

Aww okay. Do you have any suggestions on which GPU I should get? None that'll break the bank tho lol.

GTX 1050 should be enough for dead by daylight. I personnaly have 1060 and it works fine.

If you chose Nvidia video card, make sure last digit is 50 or above. Even 950 is much better than 1040. First digit is a series, last is efficiency.

Okay thanks! But would a Nvidia 1030 be enough or no?

Thanks so much! I don't know a lot about PCs but this is very helpful :)

No. If Last digit less than xx50 this card is designed to run something with low system requirements like office software. For games you have to buy 850, 950, 1050 or above. Like 1060, 970, 880.
I know 1030 seems inexpensive but reason is this card not gonna run any demanding games like dead by daylight more than 20-30 fps.
So I think 1050 is a best choise for you. Or you may look up for Radeon video cards. I'm not familiar with Radeon but they also have some good video cards for games.
