gtx 1060 discrete functioning apex legends
HI,,
been playing apex from a month. unfortunately, after updating to season 6 game is acting weird , dropping frame rates in lobbies is literally killing off the mood to play,, tried different methods like changing compatibility and even lowered settings to 720p but the problem continues ,,suddenly, from 80 fps i experience 20 to 30 fps .. please suggest me a solution ,, My laptop is predator helios 300 i7 8th gen and 1060 6gb ..here is the picture I took in predator sense and its showing sudden decrease of usage of gpu ( the spikes region )

It's the map optimization. even high end systems drop frames.. limiting your frames a bit below your maximum with rivaturner makes it a bit more stable as these dips are not as steep but thats about it. i drop from 140-160 to 80fps when entering capital from epicenter so your's is just the same but with lower end system. around 50fps drops.
I would also not recommend trying to go as deep as changing your thermal paste.
You can reduce some excess load in your apex legends by opening
Videoconfic.exe at Respawn>apex>local
Open it with text editor and change "setting.csm_enabled" "1" to "setting.csm_enabled" "0"
then save the text file and right click the videoconfic, go to properties and set it to read only so apex wont reset this when you play.. it will disable shadows from the game reducing your load quite a bit.
CPU clock will periodically drop while gaming due to the motherboard VRMs overheating causing your GPU usage and framerates to drop. Monitor your CPU clockspeed while gaming, if you see the CPU clockspeed drop while in game, but your CPU temps are fine, it's probably VRM throttling. Undervolting will help with this issue to some extent or just taking off your overclock
