Re: i7-8750H + GTX 1080 Max-Q = 15 FPS (Apex Legends)

Hey @Aidan1160 

Thanks for the information, let's dive deeper into the troubleshooting then.

Now that I think about it, your intel chip (CPU) has integrated Processor Graphics.
Can you check it Apex is using your GPU?

Go to your desktop and right-click where there are no icons.

Then select NVIDIA Control Panel and a new window will pop-up.

You see a tab 3D settings, click here on Manage 3D settings.
Then select Program settings and you will see a drop-down menu.
Find Apex legends in this list, if it's not in the list, go to the installation folder and copy the address of the program called r5apex.exe.
Now that is selected, scroll down in the list of options until you see OpenGL rendering GPU.

Now select your 1080 MaxQ and that should be done.

If this is a bit complicated, here is a video on how to do this.

Now test again and let me know if this was the issue.
