Re: Apex Legends using way too much CPU - Stutter + Framedrops

I also have a 6600k and 1070, although my game is saved on a 7200RPM HDD. I thought initially it might be due to streaming issues with getting uncompressed audio off the HDD, but since you have an SSD and are experiencing the exact same problem I think I can rule that out.

Does everyone have their game installed on an SSD? We're seeing some others experience no issues when installed on an HDD, but as soon as it's launched from an SSD the CPU Usage climbs and FPS drops.
