Re: APEX LEGENDS 100% CPU | LAG/STUTTER

Same here, it has to do with Nvidia/Windows and obviously their need to get those 4-core processor obsolete.

I even changed my RAM, MB and Graphic card but none of that seems to be related with that problem 😞

Changing my screen setting to 100Hz has been the only workaround for me, and gosh believe me I tried them all...

Hey @N🤭rg_topmodeLL

Have you already tried to do a clean boot and see if that changed anything?
Sometimes background programs can interfere with Apex Legends and reduce the performance.

Can you attach a DxDiag file to your post so I have a bit more information about your system?

@Zeelmaekers I tried to do a clean boot, it helped quite a bit, game is running better, almost as it used to before the CPU usage went crazy. Still want some things turned on like nVidia. I'd say it's working like 90% as it should, thanks! It's better than nothing.

And I also use GPU Tweak II to close "unnecessary" programs that are running in the background, without using it I have HUGE input lag on mouse/crosshair/cursor in-game.

System is:

• GPU: GTX 1060 6GB ASUS ROG STRIX
• CPU: Intel i5-6600k | 3.50GHz (4CPUs) ~3.5GHz
• 16GB RAM
• Swapping File/Paging File: 7418 MB using, 14280 MB available (tried to translate whatever it is to english)
• DirectX 12

@Zeelmaekers The clean boot worked for 2 days, now it's unfortunately back to 100% CPU usage and the game is pretty much unplayable ☹️
