Re: Apex Legends is Forcing A Power Cycle of my CPU

Some games are more demanding than other in more ways than one, which is why stress testing a CPU would not work with only one type of stress test. (For overclocking)

Same can be said for GPU stress testing.

The combined power draw of Apex maybe greater than your previous games.

For example:

High GPU usage game but low CPU usage, = mild power draw.

Low GPU usage game but high CPU usage, = mild power draw.

Apex being High GPU usage combined with High CPU usage, resulting in a higher wattage draw from the PSU.

I hope this explains your issue. 🙂

Game clearly has some performance problems. CPU usage constantly spikes from 60 percent to 100 in matter of seconds and game starts to stutter along with the audio some people have complete opposite and game is not utilizing their CPUs power at all. Sometimes if you launch the game its using 100 percent of CPU all the time even in menus sometimes it works okay. Also presumably Memory Leaks because after you play for like one hour game will use all of your RAM no matter if you have 8GB or 32GB lmao no to mention weird GPU Engine Errors. I can play newest titles without any problems and ive never seen something like that before in my more than 20 years of playing on PC. I read posts here constantly and I am not the only one with these problems. I already uninstalled the game and will wait for patches because I rather prefer to not play game than have my hardware butchered.
