Re: need help, low fps in Apex Legends

how do you do number 6? You need to unlock your fps in apex legends by adding this argument to the start options: +fps_max unlimited?

I followed what you said here and it helped some but not completely. Im on 2080ti i9-10900. 240HZ..

yet I can run in this game I stutter

    Hey @SayMOB4life 

    I'll update this post from time to time. It's important to use studio drivers. For some reason, the basic game ready driver workes incorrect with un-caped fps ins apex legends.

    Add this start option in origin -> library -> right click on apex -> start options

    Greetings

    Hey @Krunal-Vasani,

    I already know him :D (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technische-Fragen/Apex-laggt-trotz-neuem-High-End-PC/m-p/9336735/highlight/true#M4113)

    By the way, my guide about setting up RTSS is identical to this guys video :D

    His guide is good for pc newbies, too. But the thing is, if you use RTSS without optimized graficcard settings, you'll get lags when FPS are dropping. With a RTX 2080ti and a i9 9900k that doesn't concern you :D

    I found a very good way to use RTSS without lags while FPS are dropping a litte.

    Unfortunately, so far I've only found a way with NVIDIA graphics cards. I am now adapting the instructions.

    nothing works on a 5700xt and 3600x combo. 16 gigs, dual channel.

    fps is so poor in this game, they said "World’s Edge received performance improvements, especially around The Tree, The Dome and Skyhook, looking towards the center of the map." yet the game is worse than in season 5. I have tried every possible solution, but as I see the devs just give a flying f**k about AMD cards. Contacted AMD support, they couldn't say anything helpful, contacted the Devs here, usually no answer, I spent more than 100$ on this game already, and I can't play the game on 144fps even on low settings.. pathetic

  • @nospaferr 

    What is your screen resolution and RAM speed? Is your screen Freesync ready? I've two more systems to test, a i5 4690k+vega56 and 2700x+5700xt, I'll shar my results with you.

    Use 1usmus powerplan guide for the 3600x and the latest BIOS update with latest agesa version.

    What did you try to resolve the problem?


    Never mind, I found your post:

    https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Still-very-poor-FPS-on-Gaming-PC-after-update/m-p/9418336#M81843 

    So just notice the question; Is your screen Freesync ready and what resolution u are using?

    I just updated my mobo bios last night, runs even worse than before. Playing on 1080p, 3200 ram speed, it's unstable at 3600mhz. My screen is freesync ready, but I'm not using it due to input lag.

  • @nospaferr 

    2700x+5700xt runs at 1440p (144hz), i5-4690k+vega56 at 1080p (144hz) both with RTSS and freesync off at low settings.

    There must be a problem with your setup, 1080p is not a problem for this hardware.

    Did you enabled d.o.c.p for 3200mhz?

    For 3600mhz, try to increase SOC voltage to 1.15v-1.2v (for fclk), DRAM to 1.5v-1.6v and maybe you need to change the DRAM timings, like command rate to T2.

    @Sick1ClickHey, just wanted to thank you for the guide you wrote on 2nd page, it's working and I can finally enjoy the game, the stuttering was unbearable.

    edit: actually, just capping the FPS in RTSS fixes the stuttering, but getting rid of tearing is wonderful to see too.

  • @Azaanis 

    Hey nice to hear that it helped you. You'll get the best result by just cap the framerate a little below your nativ Hz number - for 144Hz take 138 for example.

  • My line is moving all the time in 2 bars crap, no matter if i move the mouse or not.

    Have Alienware 240hz, went down to 144hz bcz of this game, with 3700x and 1070ti.

    All low in game, frame limited to 144.

    If fps max is 0, its terrible, tried to -400 and nothing.

    Hey @Troll_Anarkiii 

    did you setup the video config like in the linked manual at 9.? 

    #EDIT

    Don't use scanline sync and RTSS frame limiter at the same time, just use your monitor at 144hz and adjust scanline sync

  • Yes, and it doesnt work for me, lagging like crap in fights and while i shoot, and i have optic fiber, so its not net. Did everything as you said.

    Only awy i can play is locked 144, and even then it lags during fights.

    @Troll_Anarkiii 

    Your hardware is not ideal for 240Hz in Apex legends with RTSS, but 144hz should work fine. Are you sure that you created the video config correctly?

    I would recommend leaving the monitor at 144 Hz and only using +fps_max 138, i.e. not using RTSS/scanline sync. In addition, I noticed that the servers in the EU are anything but smooth.. everything is jerky for me too right now.

  • I know its not ideal for 240hz. I wanted to buy 6800xt and 5900x, but gave up when i couldnt get 6800xt for less then 1000e.

    The point is that it was working fine 190 locked before, and now it doesnt.

    Its just that with every patch, they screw up something.

  • Not only AMD. We, owners of RTX have the same issues. Try to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete in lobby - Game crash. You're in game, you got random lags. Replicator textures are not loading, it looks like 144p video from youtube. Same as holosprays. Sometimes they look great, and sometimes like pixelart made in MS Paint. Come on! Everything was ok for me, before the launched Genesis Update. I've got great hope this time when I've seen - " Fix patch"  - after this new event "Thrillseekers" game is even worse. Sometimes unplayable with FPS drops in random moments, Lobby generating 100% CPU usage (I got 30% CPU usage playing Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt on high quality, clicking "shooting range makes stutter  Apex for 30s - its f*cking disaster. Now I feel bad for wasting my money for Revenant Heirloom. It wasn't worth that money. I tried every solution, even looking problem on Windows Defender Antivirus. But the whole time it was Respawn patch fault.
    There's 2 options. I've talk with many people, and errors like these occur in case of owning RTX card or Intel CPU.

    I have r5 3600 and rtx 2060 super, even tho i get good fps, game feels really stuttery. But when i use rivatuner it makes my GPU load jump down to 50%, while without rivatuner its like 95%
