No issues with ram or cpu. Just a normal usage
@xArmonx how many sticks of ram do you have?
Have you checked removing a single stick and seeing what happens?
have you re-seated all your sticks of ram? have you tried running 2 sticks in dual channel mode? single channel mode? (1 stick)

Didnt tried anything of this. My rams are running in Dual
Iam on Laptop, ill try it once on weekend when i get time. And i forget to mention that game is insanely loud, like when i put on 50 percent its still loud, than i play on 40 percent audio
Soo ive used benchmark, and everything is running in best performance, than ive downloaded even fortnite and theres no stuttering or anything else soo the problem is only in Apex, as i had also played COD where were also no problems, but than switched fully to Apex, like in season 7 when they put that train again and the game was unplayable for me ranked and casual all the way stuttering. Soo the game started to stutter after i got from one week vacation, no changes made, only updated graphic card opened Apex and holy crap you couldnt even walk.
Soo we could say that min. req. for Apex are graphic card rtx 3080 ( people with rtx 2080 cant play apex hahaha), with new gen of i7 or i9 with ram of 32 gb with over 3200 mhz, and putting all settings on low with maybe texture streaming budget 2-3 or 3 gb of ram. Cause thats the setting that pros are using soo they can normaly play apex hahaha xD
- @xArmonx Well it's not a great comparison due to apex, cod, and fortnite as you listed use different power consumption, different settings and other changes. They're not consistant between the three. Have you opened the back of your laptop and Checked for dust? Congestion can cause issues for your machine.
My significant other also uses a laptop to play apex and she sometimes has stutters consistently, which I'd like to make the assumption that it's a laptop hardware thing with drivers. Old laptops that are "outdated" are made for gaming but as games update. They require more and more processing power.
I understand you can't keep buying new laptops to keep up but depending on how old your laptop is, hardware doesn't last forever.
Here is what I can suggest as a last resort. A very last resort. Re install a fresh copy of windows. Download all chipset drivers, service drivers, graphic drivers, and then download Origin/steam for Apex Legends.
Try moving Apex Legends to your SSD instead of a harddrive. Also thoought maybe dust is somewhere, but nope, everything is clean. That last resort doesnt make a sense. I just made bad move at buying laptop as theres no laptop on this Earth which is made for gaming as i know so, and when i was buying i didnt meant that i would play this game haha xD, and now comes just problems with it. My laptop is old 2 years and thats already too much cause when you buy laptop after 3 months you can expect that you are not going to play games xD. And as i know soo my laptop has only SSD 500 gb soo yea its on SSD installed.
- @xArmonx The last option seems redundent, and in most cases, it is. However, sometimes it's just needed. If to many things get corrupt overtime, theres a chance that it effects everything else. Ideally speaking, you should only really re install windows when upgrading, but even then you would do a clean install. However it would have to be a very tail end thing when you have no other options.
However, based on what you said your laptop is 2 years old. Which isn't old concidering the specs needed for apex are at a fair spot for most modern pc's Which are as follows :
Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
OS: 64-bit Windows 7
Processor: AMD FX 4350 or Equivalent, Intel Core i3 6300 or Equivalent
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeonā¢ HD 7730, NVIDIA GeForceĀ® GT 640
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Storage: 56 GB available space
Additional Notes: ~3.8GB for 1 localized language
At which point if nothing works, it might be time to start checking hardware or upgrading your laptop if the minimum requirements aren't met. I think you havent read my first post where you can see my specs
Win 11 installed
Gtx 1650 4 gb
Ram 16 gb ( xmp activated in deafult already )
Cpu i7 9750h
Intel UHD graphics
External Display 75 hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 connected
Ultimate performance on everything
@xArmonxI did read this information, yes. However, there's more than just that is needed. Sometimes if windows gets reinstalled or depending on how old the system is, it could be a 32-bit windows OS. Unlikely if your issues are recent and have played fine before.
Further reading, i see that your GPU and or CPU is overclocked. If these overclocks are unstable, this may give off problems while gaming. Try turning down or resetting everything back to stock, including any bios changes. This also includes NVIDIA Control panelWithout overclicking it was unplayable, tried everything there is literally no fix to this game. Ive overclocked just to be able to play
AAANDDDDD the Apex is fixed. How? well today i just got an update from nvidia where they said that they repaired problems with FPS and i started the game and there was no stuttering. Soo yea its not my PC its always something else cause after every update something goes wrong, like when they updated Apex once and i got such big lag, and after that there was an update for windows .NET and after that no more lagging.
