Hello,
I’m fairly new to Windows. I got a decent gaming laptop and I was hoping to get some help on how to run this game at a steady fps. Every once in a while my fps drops to 10-15.
Here are my specs:
intel i7-7700HQ @ 2.8GHz
geforce gtx1060
16gb ram
I’ve tried virtually everything I’ve seen in these forums ☹️
What graphical settings are you using?
Do you have the latest gpu and cpu drivers?
Are you using vsync?
Are you using supersampling (I think Apex calls it adaptive resolution or something)?
What graphical settings are you using?
Lowest on everything, even lowered my screen resolution.
Do you have the latest gpu and cpu drivers?
Yes.
Are you using vsync?
No.
Are you using supersampling (I think Apex calls it adaptive resolution or something)?
No.
I presume that means texture streaming is also at 0gb?
Does your laptop feel hot when running apex?
Try monitoring your system temps and see if they correlate with drops in clock speeds in a program like msi afterburner.
It does get hot, what can I do about this.
It's normal for it to feel warm, but if it is feeling hot on minimum settings at lower resolutions, there's a good chance you have a cooling issue. It could be dust, bad thermal paste, or a busted fan. In which case I would take it to a computer professional (unless you feel comfortable yourself) and have them examine the laptop's cooling capabilities.
The only other thing I can think of would be to cap your fps at 60 by opening the game's properties in origin, going to advanced launch options and pasting this in:
+fps_max 60
After checking temperatures, it appears to go to 88 degrees up to 90 degrees while Apex is open.
That's a bit high, the fps cap trick I mentioned earlier might work to keep temps down as a temporary solution, but I would recommend getting your laptop checked out.
