Massive fps drop season 7
Hello, here is my problem: My apex always runs in full 60 FPS on all maps, but when I go to Olympus, there are areas that are filled with grass which make me go to 40 FPS and it's very annoying ... ...

hey guys i had this problem, the whole game was messing up for me, i thought it was bc of the new map. I started changing every setting possible, tried everything! I then switched from Origin to Steam where i had to download a FRESH new copy of Apex Legends and that fixed it!!! So my suggestion to all is to uninstall and reinstall Apex.
My Specs
9900k
64GB 3200 MHZ
Radeon VII
- @yajusdead Nah, this is not the case. Did the same, twice. No matter if on Origin's game launcher, or Steam - FPS drops are connected with bad in-game optimization. Just notice that going from bilinear texture's filtering to 16x this increases GPU usage by 20%! It is insane, because I am on RTX 3090...
- @yajusdead Not for me, i have already tried
I have also been getting strange framedrops. In skull canyon my fps never dropped below 70. Here theres some specific grassy fields that are dropping me to 45 fps. I've tried dropping my settings to medium but I still cant get a stable 60 in these grassy fields, and I have a 1660 super so I dont think I should be having a problem. Thing costs more than an xbox one s on its own, It should run a free to play competitive shooter game at at least 60 fps. Point being, I get 80 fps 90% of the time, but in this grass I lose frames. It sucks.

- @yajusdead Really? No more FPS drop?
It helped what really ended it was i had to enable freesync which ive never had to use before!
Friends,
Something is really bad with game’s optimization and/or nvidia’s drivers. I play at 3440x1440 at 200 Hz with i9-9900k (all-core@5.1 GHz) and RTX 3090 (also OC’ed and running stable across whole game at 2100 MHz, 21.5 Gbps memory). All in-game settings max’ed out. FPS cap at 190. Conclusions:
- at this resolution I am GPU-limited, that’s obvious however having 90% of the GPU usage in lobby is not fair as graphics shall not be as much demanding,
- without a grass I can see 70-85% of the GPU usage in average, 190 FPS locked; on the grass it goes 100% with FPS down to 120!
- Moreover, taking a grassy example from above, changing only the texture filtering down from 16x to bilinear reduces GPU usage by 20%! Something is really wrong because TF shall not be so heavy nowadays...
- Sun shadows - in Titanfall 2 I can set shadows to 2048 resolution without noticeable impact on performance, in Apex changing from Low (512) to High (1024) is another 10 FPS drop. Very strange.
- when in Lobby you may notice much higher GPU usage (by around 15%) after the match than before - changing view to legend’s details view while in Lobby and switching back to Lobby again eliminates this 15% increase. It looks like performance leakage to me.
- comics - why the heck this blurry smoke takes 100% of the 3090? Comics pages makes my GPU to sweat.
- Nvidia Reflex - another nice thing to introduce micro-stuttering. The best driver was 452.06, whole 456.xx and 457.xx stutters due to bad (?) reflex implementation (in driver and/or in-game). And btw. +gfx_nvnUseLowLatency is *, it does not change anything latency-wise no matter if it is on or off (system’s latency is the same and equal to Low Latency Mode = Ultra). It seems that Reflex is permanently turned on and cannot be turned off (therefore it is stuttering all the time?)
Uff, have a lot more of such examples. I am sure nobody from Respawn is going to invest their time to read this post. But more or less feedback is clear: since World’s Edge you should focus on performance improvements!
All the best.
