extreme FPS drops during play. help

Random FPS Drops


my fps goes from 50 to like 10-20 when in gunfights. it makes it almost impossible to even aim,

i know my PC is a bit outdated however even on the lowest settings and tweaked nvidia control panel settings it doesnt run well.

pc specs:

gtx 1050 Ti
intel core i5 3550 @ 3.30ghz
32gb of DDR3 (outdated, yes)
samsung 870 evo SSD

all settings on low, apex is set to "High Performance" under Windows Graphics settings

ive been unable to enjoy the game lately because of this reason.
i dont have the option to set my "preferred GPU" in the nvidia control panel, and ive looked through multiple other things to try and fix this.
i am 100% certain its running off of my 1050Ti, since whenever i get into the game it kicks itself up to 99% usage

    @lxostt Last gen consoles are getting hit hard with these same issues as well due to the latest update. Its unbearable.

    I'm having the exact same issue. Sometimes during gunfights I experience massive fps drops. The framerate gets back to normal after a while. I'm also using an Nvidia 1050 Ti.

    I have the same issue. I contacted Help Center, and they said various things. One adviser suggested that it was a DNS issue? Never heard of DNS being the cause for FPS drops.
    Another was more on point, suggesting some lowering of video settings which were already low as I did try that..... Id did change a grand total of 0 as a result of tweaking with settings, because FPS are IMO related to how the game is optimized.
    I have a high end machine, but still experience wild FPS changes in the range of 120+ frames drops.
    This has impact on gunfights, and makes the game even more frustrating to play beyond what other issues are there already.
