Intel i5-7300HQ constantly at 100% usage in game

Hello,

I know the Intel i5-7300HQ isn't a great CPU, but I have been able to run other games on it suck as BF5 and Destiny 2 Forsaken. Is there something I am missing to lower the usage? I have everything on low or disabled that runs the CPU more in the settings. Even put it on 720p to see if it made a difference. 

Thanks for any info.

    Hey, @TheWarMonkeyX, make sure that all drivers for windows and your gpu drivers are up to date. 
     
    You can also try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with Apex and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.
     
    Try running a CCleaner to remove old temp files and cache.
     
    Let me know if this works or not for you. 🙂
