Apex Lagging but no FPS Drop
I run Apex on all low settings, V-Sync off, texture streaming budget at very low, only item that is enabled is NVidea Reflex, which is Enabled + Boost. I keep a constant 143 FPS while in game, but ra...

@OoShellshock That makes a lot more sense. I just watched a video explaining VRAM and I think I understand it a little more. Since my second monitor is a lot bigger than my main one, I'm going to try to take off wallpaper engine on it and just put a still wallpaper instead. I'll see how this goes while playing Apex sometime, and I'll get back to you either if I see the lag happening again or no lag at all. Hopefully this resolves it, as I think this may be the issue, just to much VRAM usage on things other than Apex Legends.
@KeoniFRFX You can check the VRAM usage in task manager like I stated earlier by looking at the "Dedicated GPU memory". Check it first before even running the game to see what it says. On my system I only use about 0.5GB on the desktop with my web browser open.
- @OoShellshock Thank you, I just checked right now. So with everything that I have open whilst playing, (Discord, my two monitors with moving wallpapers, web browser, and steam,) I'm using 1.0 / 6.0 GB of VRAM. This is without opening Apex by the way. If that's the case, with the lowest option for the texture streaming budget in Apex being 2-3 GB of VRAM (If I remember correctly), isn't it strange as to why it is lagging then? Because I should still at least have a gigabyte of vram left, unless I'm thinking about the whole situation wrong.
@KeoniFRFX I would start the game and recheck VRAM when it starts lagging. Other factors can affect VRAM usage as well. Including overlays such as the NVIDIA etc. And each setting in-game will increase VRAM usage as well. Texture budget and screen resolution are just typically the two most intensive ones.
- @OoShellshock Alright, I'll get back to you when I do start playing, and I'll note down the VRAM before it lags and while it is lagging. Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. Darko said that I might be limiting my VRAM usage somehow, I wouldn't know how to do that but hopefully they get back to me and let me know on how to check if I am actually doing that.
