Apex Legends: 100% CPU and GPU usage | Season6

Hello,

just like many other users so do I suffer from high CPU and GPU usage.

During Gameplay on public servers, my usage percentage raise to 100% CPU and GPU

System overview:

  • Intel Core i5-8600K (overclocked to 4.2GHz)
  • Nvidia GTX 1070 (ASUS version)
  • 16GB DDR4 Ram (2600 MHz)
  • Thermaltake Watercooling
  • OS on a Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2

I tried various methods to solve that issue. I read most of the topics about this kind of problem here but there was still no solving answer.

Things I tried: 

  • Updated every single component on my System
  • Reinstalled the game multiple times
  • Used a clean start (almost no additional on startup programs)
  • Changed Configuration Settings In-Game
  • Changed Configuration in Nvidia System Controlpanel
  • Reduced clock rate of the CPU (which is an i5-8600K [Clocked at 4.2GHz now])

  • Hello there,

    I had the same problem for a while, then I started to make some changes on the Display Mode on Video settings and notice that if you put it on borderless window this bug stop automatically.

    Hope it helped.
