Apex Legends Stuttering
So, i got a problem in apex legends when i walk around or fight i get stutters of 10 fps its only for 1-2 seconds but its really annyoing and it messes up my game does anyone know a fix ? My Specs ...

This is called a frame drop rather than a stutter.
Stutters are like this:

There can be many things that drop frames in game so I will give some suggestions to improve this.
- I assume your are running the latest drivers for your GPU and motherboard, if not check the manufacturer of both and get the latest drivers.
- Frames drops can also happen when running ingame settings that are not the lowest, enable Nvidia Reflex +boost, set your vram budget to 4gb or lower, texture filtering to bilinear.
- Try the Dx12 Launcher, there should be a options/manage section in the Apex window of your launcher, find launcher options and put this in: -eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json
Then save and run tthe game. - In your Nvidia control panel find the 3D settings and check your running max performance in the power management section, and enable low latency mode to on hit apply if you need to change it.
Now how a PC works is the CPU will run the game and send frames for the GPU to draw, if the CPU were maxed out then the FPS will drop because of the rate the frames are being drawn is slower.
If the GPU were maxed out then the frames would go into a buffer which causes latency. (Enabling Nvidia reflex and low latency mode overcomes this latency a bit)
In the case of stutters, things like DPC latency and other stuff can cause a delay the frame being drawn of a frame or two.
So: you have to look for a realistic FPS target, for my RTX 3080 I can get crazy stable FPS @240 under x2 thermite stress test over 10 seconds (but I have done custom optimisations to my system so yours may vary)
Things like applications can be a big impact, say you have a million CPU cores, you would still get frame drops if everything is running one core.
Yes there are procedures for windows to sort this properly but it fails to react fast enough in time critical apps like games.
This is where custom apps come in (DM me if you wanna know)
Try disabling Hyperthreading in your BIOS, it reduces power usage and can gain performance benefits.
- @The_Tibber i have tryed that but now i got like fps drops i cant even reach 150 fps anymore and my cpu is only getting used 40% and my memory is only on 14gb of 32gb and my Gpu is on 5-10% now
Ahh I see.
Lets focus on uninstalling the GPU driver cleanly as GPU driver installs may occasionally bug out.
Follow this guide to uninstalling your GPU drivers, be sure to follow the disconnect from the internet to:
https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/DDU-Guide-TutorialOnce done, let me know how it goes.
- @The_Tibber so uninstall and then reinstall the drivers ?
- @The_Tibber Dont disable it globally but rather disable it with process lasso for a specific app.
You could, but the core's perfomance is split in half regardless of what is assigned where.
When people talk of a physical core being faster its because a single core is faster that two logical cores when split in half.
If you have a low core count then you will see benefits in hyperthreading, you will also see benefits in multitasking.
But in terms of individual core performance and low latency, physical cores come out on top.
Im not allowed to suggest third party apps on the forums. C:
