Posting in case anyone else encounters this issue.
Nothing would get my FPS up past 60 again. I had to uninstall APEX, run ccleaner to clean the registry of any left over game regkeys. Then reinstall APEX.
I ran APEX anew with no apps or via Origin commands to cap the fps. FPS ran as high as 140 but as I suspected the game crashes within seconds of me landing from the initial drop. GPU showed as hitting 100% via MSI/Riva app.
Capped the FPS at 72 with the "+fps_max 72" command via Origin then launched the game again. Ran at 72fps out of match, but as soon as I went into a match the fps peaked at 60fps and wouldn't go a frame higher. Removed the +fps_max 72 command but game still maxes out at 60fps. Even tried +fps_max unlimited, +fps_max 0" but no change. FPS capped at 60. Uninstalled APEX Again! and fps runs normally up to low 140's but of course it crashes in a match very soon after landing.
So it's as if their is some setting/registrykey/whoknowswhat that remains in the settings of the game locking fps to a max of 60 no matter what I set the FPS limit to. Even after removing said artificial limit.
