Hi, so i have a pretty good PC: intel core i3 9100F gtx 1650 8gb RAM but in Apex even on very low graphic settings I have terrible FPS drop in bigger gunfights or during Gibraltars airstrikes. It...

@Sick1Click I really think that before recommending literally everyone your "guide" you should mention the side effects of using it. First of all you force triple buffering, which introduces a ton of input lag, which is so undesirable for FPS games. Second of all setting adaptive FPS target to 100 won't work as intended on all machines. On slower GPUs it will make the image insanely blurry. Furthermore there is no need to limit the game to 4 threads, as it only decreases the performance. And while well yes, it may work for you, it may make the game play "smoother" on your config, it's certainly not a solution for competitive gaming nor for everybody.

    @MirageMatt,

    I think you really dont know what you're talking about. Vsync gives you much better frame times. My guide is working very well for many people, testet it on different setups. To limit the game to four threads will relieve your cpu to handle backround stuff better - he has anyway just a 4 core cpu 🙂

    I dont know why you so mad, let people talk about it who understand something about it - he already replied that it brought him something.

      @Sick1Click You are confusing stuff my boy. I love VSync - that's true it gives consistent frame times. But I would never ever use it in FPS shooter. I was talking about INPUT LAG, and not frametimes. Input lag skyrockets when using VSync. Btw, shouldn't you know that double buffered VSync provides better (more consistent) frame times? 😉 Please refer to tests made my Battle(non)sense on YouTube. That's a person who "knows what he is talking about" as you like to categorize people.

        @MirageMatt  You sure I'm a boy? I guess you live in youtube. Many youtube videos are correct and and can help you, but find out things on your own bring you much more to learn instead of just retell things. Double/tripple buffer - it depends on the game and situation.

        He use just one RAM stick, what about it? That's the main reason for his performance loss by the way - settings are second important here.
