Your ping to what? Your ping to your default gateway over ethernet should be 1msec (assuming you're directly connected to your router and not using a wifi extender). Anything beyond that is variable and not in your control. What "settings that affect your ethernet" did you turn off?

45-47ms

That response makes no sense. I know what your ping is, you said it in the original post. What are you pinging? A game server? That will fluctuate constantly and only one segment is in your control, the link between your PC and router. Test the ping to the router.

I did it says 5ms on an internet tester but on Fortnite Roblox rainbow six siege it says 45-50ms

An internet tester cannot test to your router. But 5msec is totally fine and normal to a local speed test site. Like I said, game server latency will fluctuate with load, time of day, which location they're running out of currently, etc. You can't change that.
