i'm somebody completely different, but i have the same issues. i can run cod cold war at max settings at 20% gpu usage but apex stays at 100%. no other game has this issue. my pc has no issues with it, i've tried reinstalling the game, verifying integrity, clearing cache, etc. literally haven't been able to play apex since the summer update. can we get a fix or an actual solution to this please? i want to be able to actually *play the game* with my friends.

There's already a 100% CPU usage issue since 2 months ago and no fix, and now there's 100% GPU usage? Come on Apex...

@EA_Illium Hi, sorry for the long response time. I shared the DXdiag through a screen capture I took and posted it with the other message but I guess it didn't post properly? Anyway I'll share the txt file with this message and hope it works this time. Also on the front of that fix I'm attempting it now and I'll let you know how it turns out.

@EA_Illium My mistake about not posting the Dx.Diag file before, sorted that with the last post, hopefully it's of some help towards solving this issue. Please get back to me if you have any progress on the issue or maybe a fix, thanks.

Nvidia Shader cache clearSpoiler1.) Install latest drivers - for this example these were NVidia drivers
2.) Disable Shader Cache in the NVidia control panel
3.) Hit apply
4.) Enable shader cache
5.) Hit apply
