Mid to high end pc- micro stuttering, lag, random fps drops, and texture issues

I have what I would consider a high end pc, but in apex I have occasional micro stuttering, lag, fps drops, and pop in textures

Hello, I've been looking for some help with graphical settings for apex legends. I've been having issues with a balance between fps and visibility. I have also noticed annoying stutter/lag, random fps drops (going from 180 down to 130 at times), and textures not loaded in fully right in front of me (texture pop in). I would ideally like to run stable 180 fps with lowest input lag and latency while still keeping the game looking decent. Since I have a mid to high end pc I believe it is achievable just with the right settings. I currently run everything on low besides TSAA, Texture streaming budget very high, and antistrophic filtering 4x. I have tried auto exec, launch options, repairing the game and watched many YouTube vides but still have these issues, please help it would be greatly appreciated 🙂!

Specs: 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8- core

GPU: RTX 2070 Super 

Motherboard: ROG STRIX B550 -F 

RAM : 16 GB 

144hz monitor (native 2560 x 1440) g-sync

Ethernet cable

    @GendochiAppend that to your startup options: -dev -novid +fps_max unlimited 

    Nvidia crontrol panel: Enable gsync. Deactivate vsync global, but enable it especially for apex legends. Don't use Low Latency Mode, leave that disabled.

    Don't enable vsync in Apex Legends. I recommend going no more than 2-3 Gb with the texture streaming budget or it will costs more performance. I would deactivate anti aliasing, it is no longer necessary for wqhd.

    Optional use that videoconfig settings (C:\Users\*username*\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local), replace the content completely, save, right click and set read only;

    "setting.gamma" "1.000000"

    "setting.modeldecals_forceAllowed" "-1"
    }

    Apex Legends should now run smoothly. I don't have a solution to the texture problem, but everyone struggles with it including all of the streamers I watch.

    Quick question before I do this, isn’t apex not reccomeded to go above 180 frames as the engine cannot support it, by uncapping fps wouldn’t this cause issues?

    @Gendochi Since gsync and vsync are on, no. In combination with this, Nvidia Reflex, which is active by default, ensures that it runs with an extremely low latency.

    So what should I do about nvidia reflex in Apex Legends should I enable it or disable it ?
