@xkarqkarqxare there one ore two RAM modules in your pc?
- 6 years ago
@xkarqkarqxyou should definitely buy a second one! With two RAM sticks it runs in dual channel, in single channel mode you lose ~40% fps, depends on the application.

UPDATED #SEASSON 15:
First things first:
- Disable vsync
- Disable gsync/freesync (also in your monitor settings if it is aviable)
- Disable Windows Game Mode
- If you have a AMD card, don't use enthance snyc and AMD antilag, leave all that stuff disabled
- NVIDIA: Set low latency mode: OFF, threaded optimization: OFF
- Set Nvidia Reflex in Apex Legends to: Enable
- Preverred update rate: max avaiable
- Disable fullscreen optimization for Apex (right click the r5apex.exe, r5apex_dx12.exe and EasyAntiCheat_launcher.exe at C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex)
- Let Origin /EA App start as admin like this
- You need to unlock your FPS in apex legends by adding this argument to the start options in Origin or Steam (right click the game in library): +fps_max 0
- Also use these start commands: -high -preload
- If you like to skip the intro use: -novid
- You may need to lower you grafic settings to get more/stable fps (dont worry, apex lookes well on low settings. All pros use low settings: https://prosettings.net/apex-legends/ ) With a RTX 3070 I personally use low settings, 2-3GB texture streaming budget. if you really want more fps, set this to none.
- You need RTSS (riva tuner statistic server), download it from guru3d.com
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After installing RTSS, you have to setup a few things there:
- Hit Add left in the corner und choose r5apex.exe (default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Apex Legends)
- Also Add r5apex_DX12.exe
- Application detection level medium
- On-Screen Display support on
- Show own statistic on
- At Setup enable "2 bars" with the Frame Color Indicator
- Disable the On-Screen Display support and the Frame Color Indicator when you're done.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now tweak it:
|1| You need to go into your game, preferably to shooting range (Don't worry, it doesn't run smoothly yet)
|2| Recognize tearing by looking up and down. The Frame Color Indicator will help you at this point as well. Disable it when you're done.
|3| By changing the value at RTSS "Scanline sync" to a nagativ number you can eliminate tearing. In my case I need just -60, you may need -100 or -200 etc. (From now on it's smooth!)
|4| If you don't want to use Scanline sync, you can now simply limit the FPS without touching the scnaline sync value (0). The pre-configuration as I have described it here is still essential, even if you only want to limit the FPS
It might be useful to define a custom Hz for your PC in the settings of your graphics card, since Scanline sync requires a lot of power, especially at high frame rates. E.g. 190Hz usually works very well with 240Hz monitors. If your FPS fluctuates too much, it will have a negative effect.
And thats it! It gives you a smooth gameplay without tearing, without VSYNC ingame and with low frame times! I recommend activating the autostart option in RTSS. So it will work everytime.Best regards and good luck! =)

@Sick1ClickWell now you are getting somewhere my friend, I have heard of scanline sync. The negative value you put there must be callibrated on per game/user basis - there are guides on guru3d forums. Also the game must render more frames than the monitor refresh rate for it to work properly (about 120 FPS for 60 Hz monitor). I personally have never used it, but I have heard good opinions. It provides tear-less gameplay without introducing input lag. The thing with RTSS frame cap is that it introduces 0-1 frames of input lag, so it's a bit worse than in-game frame limiters. However, what I found to make my game work much better are two things: reducing mouse polling rate to 500 Hz (or 250 Hz for slower processors) and excluding the whole Apex Legends folder from Windows Defender (I do not know how this works with other antivirus softwares). This made my CPU usage considerably lower and made the game fell and play much smoother.
All-in-all I doubt there is a perfect solution without using an Adaptive Sync display, like GSync.
