Hey @Rubber_Ducky122,
is your screen gsync/freesync ready? If no, have a look here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/need-help-low-fps-in-Apex-Legends/m-p/9216992/highlight/true#M76263
Gsync has been working very well since season 6. In combination with vsync you get a very smooth gameplay.
For GYSNC/FREESYNC:
- Use studio driver
- Enable GYSNC/FREESNYC. Nvidia: make sure point 3. in control panel show specific settings is enabled (look at the picture down here)
- Set in control panel (nvidia); Preverred update rate: max avaiable; Latency Mode: ultra; Vsync: FAST
- Radeon settings (amd); Radeon Enhanced Sync: ON
- Set in Apex; Vsync: OFF
- You may need to lower you grafic settings to get more/stable fps (dont worry, apex lookes well on low settings. All pros use low settings: https://prosettings.net/best-apex-legends-settings-options-guide/ ) If you really want more fps, set texture streaming budget to none.
- Disable windows game mode, enable hardware accelerated gpu planning, enable variable update rate (you'll need the latest windows updates for these options)
- Disable fullscreen optimization for Apex (right click the r5apex.exe at C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex)
- Make sure you installed your monitor driver
- You need to run your game at fullscreen mode
- You need to unlock your fps in by adding this argument (origin library, right click on apex legends, game features, start options): +fps_max unlimited +exec autoexec
- Make a autoexec.cfg at C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex\cfg and put in: cl_forcepreload 1 mat_compressedtextures 1 cl_ragdoll_collide 0 (make sure that you can see and change file extensions)
- Now cap your framerate with RTSS (download RTSS at guru3d.com) to 138 if you have a 144Hz Monitor. For 240Hz Monitors try 170,180 ore 190. ('Don't use Scanline Sync' here)
Greetings 🐱
PS.: On some systems it works great with disabled gsync/freesync, too.
