Hey @NYK3Z

A 1060 isn't strong enough to run Apex on 1440p.

Capitol city is a know performance dropping area but the following steps should be able to reduce the fps drops.

Open Origin, click on the top bar View.
Now open Game library and click on Apex Legends.
Here you will find settings when you press that click on Game Properties.
Go to Advanced Launch Options.
Now click on the text box below Command Line Arguments:

Depending on the refresh rate of your monitor you have to change the X
Most monitors have a 60 - 120 or 144 Hz refresh rate.
Example for a 144Hz monitor:

Let me know if that solved the framerate issue.
