HAVING LOW GPU AND CPU USAGE

Im having low cpu and gpu usage while playing duo trio or ranked in apex legends but when it comes to other mods my cpu and gpu usage is all normal and high usage.

i asked ea player help services but we couldnt figure it out.

im having this problem for last few hours and i changed no setting before having this problem or after either on windows or apex. checked it for sure.

like in other mods such as gun run and those things my fps is between  150 and 200 and gpu cpu usage is between 75%-99%.

but in duos trios and ranked leagues usage is between 40%-60% and fps is between 50-100

like i tried almost everything and nothing works.

i would be happy if you guys help.

  • I have exactly the same problem. 
    After the last update I have a dramatic FPS drop.
    - GPU utilization does not go above 30%.
    - Video card power consumption does not go above 80w. 
    - I don't have any problems with other games. 
    - Benchmark tests (dx12) show the system without any problems.
    - Before the update, I could get 160hz with ultra settings without any problem. 
    - The game can't use GPU or fallback is activated.

    I think it's related to the latest graphics update.

  • Me too. I just got a new rig; i5 14600k, 32 ddr5 and RTX 5070. In ranked, my CPU and GPU are both 30% give or take my my FPS lies steady on 120. I have no lags or micro stutters other than when I get server sided prediction error so it isnt really a problem but it feels bad to have a good rig and not get those 200+ frames =). I get considerably more frames in other modes, like 200+ in firing range and 150-180 in pubs.

    What a bit strange is that I went from an older i5 8600k and RTX 2070 which landed my on a 100% CPU usage and I could quite much micro stutterings but my fps was slightly higher, like 140 in ranked hrmm
