Low FPS with Ryzen & 1060

When I hop into training mode I get a solid 80-144 FPS, then when I head into a normal apex game my fps starts tanking. ALWAYS 20 FPS in the plane no matter the settings, and fluctuating FPS from 144-40 fps when I'm playing. Walking around depending on the area I might get 60-80 fps, however during gun fights my fps drops to 30-40, which makes it hard to aim since its so choppy. Comparing it to other people that have the same setup but get better fps I was wondering what could be the problem so I hope I can get an answer here.

All settings on low, and vsync off. I've reinstalled windows twice and still the same result. 

Graphic Drivers up to date, and BIOS up to date.

SPECS: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB, RYZEN 5 2600, CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR4 16GB 3000MHZ RAM.

    Cool just forwarding some checks from EA staff:

    Did you transfer your old drive to the new system instead of a new OS install?

    Are your temps okay while gaming?

    I can help you get temp info on your PC if you don't know how.

    temps fine, this pc was also gpu/cpu stress tested by the company I got it from, they are pretty professional about this stuff, no I haven't transferred the drives, can we see your dxdiag also some video records of your game play (fps on screen) while throwing a thermite grenade ( stay very close to it ) or the new containment area on the map ?!? show us your in game settings, nvidia control panel settings!

    see what we are talking about?!!? … and that is in training (if you tested that in training), imagine how is on a actual server … as there are other things which makes everything 10 times worst!

    Tried all the settings you listed, still same performance

    Heres the task manager while in game.

  • Alright, @Sp4ceb4lls  if you notice any FPS drops report it in bug report section: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/apex-legends-bug-reports-en

    Make note of where the FPS drop occured or what caused it.

    Be sure to mention that you have no issues with your system or software confilcts etc so others know everything is okay your end.

    Bug reports are issues with the game itself and technical is user issues, once done other users will post that they have the same issue.

    This will also create a refrence for staff to forward to Respawn and progress from there.

    @Rekkuuza8  @Sp4ceb4lls 

    BTW is your apex game files stored on a SSD or faster or is it a mechanical HDD?

    I have it on my SSD, however I tried both my HDD and SSD and that didn't change anything.

  • Hmm not much else i can think of.

    Post a Bug report about poor FPS drops with recent updatesand use this video as a comparison:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_0QhZY-sEs

    This video was posted on feb and the difference in your experience between updates is obvious.

    Mention your specs and forward this post so others know what fixes you have tried to avoid a repeat of this.

    This way its a issue with the game post and staff can be aware of the issue.

    It has been like this for many people lately, as of right after the last patch my game started tripping as well... It worked perfectly fine before the patch, now I am stuck on a 60-70 fps when walking/looting and on 40 fps when in fights. Whilst that used to be steady around 140-150 for me. So I do not think it has something to do with a single persons game nor computer settings at the moment, but something got messed up for people right after the latest patch.

    I've had this issue since launch, really hoping Respawn can do something about it.
