Apex Legends PC stuck at 30fps

Hello. I´ve been playing Apex on PS4 and now I'm giving it a shot on PC. I have a Lenovo Yoga with an i7-8550U and a GTX1050 4Gb. It seems that I can't get more than 30-34 fps whatever configuration ...

Hi @PelukoYo. 

When you have a chance can you check something for me? Open the NVIDIA Control Panel on your PC and click on Manage 3D settings over on the left side. On the Global Settings tab look to see if you have an option there for Preferred graphics processor. If so, be sure that your NVIDIA GPU is selected in that drop down menu. 

See if you notice any improved performance in Apex Legends after that. Let me know how it goes when you can. Thanks!

    Hello @EA_Kent

    Yes, the NVIDIA is the preferred GPU and I've ensured that it is the GPU Apex is using.

    But finally I found what was the problem. I had the second monitor active. If I deactivate the second screen then it runs at full speed.

    Now I have another problem I'm investigating. I have a good +- 60fps, but I got some stuttering. I think that it manifest mainly when I'm firing, but I've not tested it fully. It's very uncomfortable because it breaks my aim.

    Thanks.

      @PelukoYo 

      Thanks for following up!

      Are you noticing any of the red performance icons coming up in-game when the stuttering happens?

        No @EA_Kent , I haven't noticed any red icon. What annoys me is that Windows 10 task manager reports that the GPU (GTX 1050) is around 45% - 55 % maximum use, and the CPU (i7-8550U) arount 35%, while playing. So I think that the computer has much more to offer than what I'm getting.

        Regards.
