    Thanks for posting, interested to hear what kind of impact this driver set has on Apex.


    i turned off vsync in nvidia 3d settings and the game video settings, set rivatuner to 144 fps, and used 720p resolution for my desktop and game borderless window.

    i got 144 fps a lot in the game. its pretty much always 144 fps now.

    my pc rig; ryzen 5 3600x using overclocking in the bios, 16 GB ram ddr 4 3000 cl 15, ssd for windows and game, gtx 1060 6GB.

    its really nice. Thanks Nvidia and Apex Legends team! i will go back to using 60fps since thats my monitor resolution and it helps in oculus rift to have a lower fps when playing apex legends in virtual desktop.

  • @gg123xyz no need to even O/C that rig in the bios for this game. I would bet it runs better if you didn't. Just my 2 cents worth.

    for overclocking my 3600x i did this;

    -enabled precision boost overdrive

    - set a-xmp to profile 1

    thats it. a-xmp sets my memory to its actual speed, and precion boost overdrive allows the cpu to ramp up its speed.

    i did some tests and found it does increase my fps in apex legends.

    heres the video showing what i did, at 1:40 mark or so;
