Stutter/fps
Hi all. I installed apex on my old pc for my son to play on. the game ran perfectly fine 144-90 fps on medium settings.
today i bought him a 144hz gaming monitor.
the game still runs smooth and ...
Hey @Heli0sH00K,
What kind of monitor is that exactly? Adaptive sync can be useful when the fps are not stable and keep dropping below the frame rate, too.
I could type a lot of letters here, but just have a look here:
Nevertheless, it sounds strange that the game keeps stuttering for 1-2 seconds, so other causes could also come into question. Nevertheless, I would now first follow the approaches in the article before considering too much at once.
Basically, the FPS should not be undercut on a monitor with a fixed update rate, as this then leads to stuttering.
Another possibility would be to set the monitor to 90hz, for example, if the FPS in the game are on average around this value (if adaptive sync is undesirable for any reason).
The most freesync/gsync monitors have an option in the screen menu to enable/disable vrr.
By the way, I recommond CRU tool to setup a custom resolution:
I have the larger version, the 27xq, at home and use it as a second screen. With this model I can safely say that the Freesync option can be found in the monitor settings.
The response time should not exceed "Level 4" in the monitor settings, otherwise there will be relatively heavy ghosting.
Well, every game is different, based in part on a different engine, etc. However, I agree that Apex Legends could be better optimized ... but it was worse in past. In order to be able to enjoy the 144 Hertz without losses, you need quite fast hardware for this game.
however, I think you should be able to use the above to get the game up and running properly.
