performance

Recently I've been experiencing high temperatures when running apex legends after the lost treasures event update. Even before season 5 I could run on medium settings, after the season change I had to set everything to low and mess around with config files to get smooth game play at around 70 to 85 degrees Celcius, which I was comfortable with (I play on a laptop). Now, I'm consistently in the 85 to 97 degree range, sometimes even hitting 100 degrees.

I've tried repairing game files and completely reinstalling, this did seem to make GPU frame times more consistent but the temperature is still a problem.

My specs:
Laptop: Lenovo Legion Y720p

GPU: gtx 1060 6gb

CPU: i7-7700hq

RAM: 12GB

Is there anything I can do? I really enjoy the game and just want to run it like I did back in season 4 again. ☹️

@r4pidHunter

There was a small patch on Tuesday the 7th. That might have helped with what was causing the performance drops in your case.

I've noticed a strange issue with Apex.. When you check the Challenges Screen (listing all challenges) the GPU goes crazy. From 60-80W the Wattage usage goes up to 200W in peaks. the temperature goes from normal 60 up to 108C . GPU fans do their job, to keep the GPU at abt 100C.
Thats wierd anyway... my GPU is Radeon 5700XT. and is brand new, like 1 month old. Have you noticed that?

Hi @7rYt0,

Would you mind sharing a DxDiag when you've got the chance? For more information on how to pull one up check out the EA Help website. Once you have the text file please attach it to this thread. Thanks!
