Rtx 2080 stutter

So I bought a new rtx 2080 and overwatch/divison 2 works great haven't tried other games other then apex legends. Which does not work great its throttling my cpu and pushing it to 100% and causing a stutter every time it does. My gpu stays at around 97%-99% untill the cpu goes 100% then it drops to 80%. It's not constant just random times cpu hits 100% then a stutter. At first I thought it was the card because I saw other people complaining about rtx 2080. So last night I downloaded overwatch and division 2 just to check and both of those games work flawlessly. On my gtx 970 I was getting no stutters at all in this game. So just wondering is anyone else dealing with this? If so do you know of a fix? Or maybe EA is acknowledged it and is fixing how it works with rtx cards. Like I said other 2 games work great, this one not so much and it sucks I wanna play this game! Also all drivers are up to date and I've tried reinstalling everything with ddu. Also happens in anthem.

Specs: I7 9700k 

Rtx 2080 zotac amp 

z390 msi mobo

860 evo 1tb ssd

1000watt corsair rm psu

asus 1080p 144hz monitor

    Hi there,

    Are you running any other programs along side

    Apex?

    If you are then I would suggest looking into task manager

    and finding what's hogging your CPU other than Apex.

    you could attempt to use this -high in the advanced launch

    options, command line arguments to try to force Apex

    to High CPU priority.

  • Common stutter fix that works is to locate your game files then right click the r5apex.exe file.

    In properties go to the compatability tab, then tick the disable fullscreen optimisations box.

    apply and test in game.
