GPU Usage up to 100% in lobby screen and in game.

While I'm tabbed into the game GPU usage consistently goes up to 75% - 100% and stays there. Feels almost like a crypto miner it's so bad. It makes it unbearable to stay in my room as I have a fairly powerful PC and a small room so it gets very hot, very quickly.

I see other posts from Febuary of 2019 about "GPU Usage 100%" and I wonder that if this has been an issue for more than 2 years, and replies on recent posts to just wait for a fix... How long are we supposed to wait? I think this is a serious issue and needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.

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.

@PsyhiX69 Unfortunately the fix doesn't seem to have had any effect at all, the fix mentioned, involves deleting the file folder for easy anti cheat and it's launcher in the game files for apex on steam and then verifying game files to restore them.

@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.

@CB1000XX Hi, some other steps which have reportedly helped some (though unfortunately without a 100% hit rate are:

Nvidia Shader cache clear

Spoiler
1.) 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
6.) Restart Computer
