Micro-Stutter after first few games on Apex Legends

If You want to use g-sync (and I think You should) You need to enable vsync in nvidia panel and disable vsync in game.

Your fps should be locked to -3 (below monitor refresh rate) in my case it's 141fps (because I have 144hz monitor).

I am using RivaTuner for locking fps also. When I had nvidia card I found that reflex added stuttering so I did not use that at all.

You can also add "-preload" to command line in steam/origin so maybe that will help further.

I have found that nvidia fps limiter and in-game limiter also add stuttering only RTSS smooths it out (not always tho, at the beginning of the match there is always stuttering for few seconds).

Overall if properly configured You should see something like this (flat line in MSI Afterburner for fps): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5BSSUIObzg

Please note that this video was recorded with AMD card not Nvidia.

I enabled V-Sync because of this post which looked like it helped:

My monitor is 280hz but I'm pretty sure Frostbite Engine doesn't like 190+ fps.

I believe I enabled G-Sync too because of the post.

Edit: Also disabling V-Sync made it little worse.

You can lock fps to any value You like then. Try 140 for starters and see if that helps.
