Massive FPS drop Season 8

FPS drops, all over the map. It has certain areas where it's totally fine, I can maintain 144 FPS, then I look in another way, and FPS drops down even to 90. No matter what settings I use, Ultra or Low, all settings turned down, FPS drops are STILL A VERY HUGE PROBLEM! It started with World's Edge, first when that map came in, it was perfect, then in a few seasons they made it unplayable, especially in the city part, where all the big buildings was, King's Kanyon was fine until now, the performance got much worse with this season.

what I have tried to solve it: Literally everything during the seasons since S4, nothing helped, it's the optimisation of the game. So please, Dev team, optimise the game for AMD card users too, I know it runs much better on Nvidia cards, but I can't believe I have 100 fps with a 5700xt on Low settings... And all of my AMD card user friends have this problem too. Thank you for reading this.

Yes, I am using Rivatuner, yes I am using ISLC, yes I reinstalled windows, yes I am using all kind of commands to make the game better, yes, I literally tried every possible solution, as I told you.

    I bought 3200mhz frames because I thought that there was a problem with my stutter, because ryzen needs fast frames and I had 2133mhz but that's not the problem, stutter is always in every game ...

    it is impossible that you have good fps in the game and the game stutters anyway

    For those with Nvidia cards, does rolling back to a previous Windows 10 update help?

    Nvidia Support relayed this suggestion in their official forums: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/448105/geforce-46611-grd-feedback-thread-released-41421/3055155/

    If you are experiencing FPS drops, let us know the following:

    • Your system specs by attaching a DxDiag to your reply.
    • Where do you experience your FPS drops in game? Do you see a pattern or is it completely random?
    • Are you running any programs in the background such as overlays or recording software?

    How to gather DxDiag information

    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/

    This is very basic but a good way to find out if it's a program running in the background causing your FPS to drop is to perform a Clean Boot and then immediately launch Apex Legends upon restarting the PC. Play for a bit and if you don't notice any FPS drop, try opening up 1 program at a time that you normally have running to see if there's any correlation. 

    How to Clean Boot your PC

    https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/how-to-clean-boot-your-pc/

    We want to make sure you have a great experience out there, Legends. We'll see if we can all band together to find common solutions and at the least, gather technical info and feedback to pass along to Respawn so they're aware.

    Thank you!

    @EA_Blueberry Hello, I am sending DxDiag, my problem started when season 7 came out, then the game performance problems started, fps in the game is not dropping but there are stuttering in the game all the time, I tried everything, clean windows installation, turning off unnecessary applications, trying to change graphics settings to the lowest, different configs, nvidia driver changes, and other things, as I say in season 6 it was ok, since season 7 came out there were problems with the game in my case, in every game I have screen stuttering and it cannot be fixed, and I will add that I am not the only person who has problems with it, people with much better hardware than me have the same problem.

    Everything from the DxDiag looks fine. I know some players have had success lowering the Texture Streaming Budget, have you tried that?
     
    What kind of monitor do you have?

    @EA_Blueberry my graphics settings are at the lowest that can be achieved in this game, I tried to play with the settings and I do not give it anything, there is stuttering all the time, I have tried literally everything for real, my monitor is Acer GN246HL, without gsync and freesync, as I say in season 6 everything worked fine, it must be the game's fault

    @L4JKAN

    Do you have more than one monitor and when FPS drops is it when there's a lot of stuff happening in a battle?

    @EA_Blueberry I have only one monitor, my fps are good, I don't have drops, but I have constant stuttering / tearing of the image, the game stutters at good fps, for example I set the limit of 144fps, the game stutters, I set 170fps, the game stutters innocent, I tried everything, nothing helps, various tutorials from the internet, game optimization, changed graphics settings in the game / nvidia, deleting config, various launch options, moving the game to ssd, disabling full-screen options, literally everything, and nothing, I'm sorry, I am not the only one who has this problem because it is many more people with the same problem come on this forum, as I said in season 6, the game ran smoothly, since season 7 started performance problems, I have GTX 1070ti Ryzen 5 3600 16gb 3200mhz framework, temperatures are good, I tried to turn off / turning on the xmp profile does not help, we have been waiting for a solution to this problem for several months because it is a lot and nothing like and no one can help us
