Agreed, I have been having the same issue especially since the DX12 and the NVIDIA driver update, I noticed that my GPU isn't fully utilized in Apex anymore, and I don't know if this has to do with shader cache but I have been noticing that Apex always tends to load the game assets whenever I go to legends character select or in-game store, leading to really high CPU temps reaching 95c despite of me having a decent perfectly-working 240mm AIO cooler with newly reapplied thermal paste, no other games do this, only in Apex. I even play RDR2 Online with ultra settings and my CPU temp only gets to 50-65c ish.
Now everytime I'm loading Apex, my CPU temp will rapidly rise to 80-90c in a matter of minutes, especially after browsing through the in-game store. I have been wanting to play the game normally but just couldn't due to the CPU temp reason.
Also for those who might be wondering, I also do undervolting, I set my curve optimization to -25 on all cores, even then I edited my power plan to power efficiency mode just for Apex in hope to reduce the CPU temps but nope, the temps still spike to 95ish. I hope Respawn can resolve this issue, I need to grind my Apex rank so bad~
