Re: Apex Legends using way too much CPU - Stutter + Framedrops

This is insane... EA this game shouldn't be so greedy. Many of us are able to run much heavier games without issues.

Find a way to reduce CPU load and a hotfix patch.

I'm on an OC i5-7600k running steady 4.6ghz and a 1080ti and getting micro stutters every minute in random places where there are no fights or enemies.

And in a place with huge fight and explosions it doesn't necessarily stutter.

Totally illogical.

Work on this issue please.

The solution must not be to upgrade CPU for 80% of the 4core processor users.

    So what you meant was the game developer has to make it possible using less thread cpu? Why not also demanded them to still use 1 thread cpu, or even further Pentium 1 cpu? we can dream but reality still coming.

    For me, its almost reverse. Software developer is very (very) slow in adapting using multi thread. We already have a good 8 thread from i7-2700K since 2011, but it was only getting more useful after Battlefield 1 in 2016 that using 6 threads (but you can modify user.cfg to use 12 threads) which cause 4 threads user complained a lot. Even now, not all game can optimally use all the threads. 

    The era of 4 threads is over, just accept it and it will make things easier for you.
