Friend running i7 8700k @ 3.8 ghz, GTX 1070, and 16gb of ram performing terribly in video games

My friend has the specs listed in the title, and he claims that even on very low settings his Apex Legends framerate is so bad that it is “unplayable”. He games on nothing but 60hz, so it must be well below this. With these specs he should be pushing 144 FPS, so I am baffled at how this is happening. Any ideas?

​

Edit: it seems as though where he has his HDMI plugged in is fairly close to some USB ports, but picture is bad so I’m not sure if he’s connected to the motherboard yet. Will update if this is the case, as it would be pretty funny if he bought a $1300 system 3ish years ago and has been running on his iGPU the whole time.

​

Edit: Yeah he was on integrated graphics. For 3 years.
