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 ... ...

I see they have the audio issues on the dev tracker. The FPS issues however are still not mentioned on the dev tracker. Doesn't mean they aren't aware of it. I hope they are as I can't imagine the devs themselves haven't encountered these issues while playing the new season post release.

Really want to be able to play it without these FPS drops (going to test next with bilinear, haven't tested that yet though I think I already have everything on lowest including texture filtering and still having the FPS drops but need to double check)
i9 9900K + RTX 2080
As I mentioned earlier game combined with the graphics drivers is responsible for the FPS issues. It is hard to mitigate this problem, but this is what I found so far:
- for those with RTX 20 series and older GPUs - use 452.06 driver version
- for those with RTX 30 series - use 456.71 (or 456.98 hot fix release, especially if you encounter screen flickering of your G-Sync monitor)
- for all on Windows 10 - check if you have HAGS enabled in Graphics Settings, if so - disable it for less scattered frame times (means more fluent game play)
- for all - avoid using 457.09 and 457.30 as those drivers have worse performance and impacts Apex with the stuttering the most
Side note: since 456.71, Nvidia added Reflex SDK support as a beta and Apex since October’s 12th patch has it implemented and enabled by default. Reflex replaces well known “Low Latency” setting from Nvidia Control Panel, so if you decide to use it, then make sure that Low Latency is set to “off” there. Reflex also enables driver-based FPS cap, which can be only disabled through Nvidia Profile Inspector. If you want to use FPS cap, the best choice for the most stable frame pacing is to use RTSS cap (avoid using in-game cap as well!)
Side note 2: You cannot disable Reflex by game’s command line option. It does not work. I have measured game’s latency having +gfx_nvnUseLowLatency on and off and nothing has changed. Latency is is the same down to 0.1 ms of difference (measurement error).
This is what you can do for now to achieve most smooth game play before game’s engine gets a proper optimization patch and Nvidia fixes their Reflex implementation too.
guys it's good to try to find solutions, but it's still better if there is a patch to fix the problem.
I started having this weird issue after the new season started. I normally play with 80+ fps on my laptop, but sometimes the game randomly freezes and starts stuttering at a fixed 10 frames per seconds. What I noticed is during this one minute of stuttering the "IN" value on the performance counter goes up to 60+ while the "OUT" value is stuck at 0. After roughly a minute, everything goes back to normal. This makes the game literally unplayable.
