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 because of the 144hz it looks and feels amazing...... however..... every few minutes the game stutters for just 1-2 seconds. while in battle this is ofcourse very annoying and is making the game quite unplayable. Now as far as my brain can tell is that 144hz will make the game stutter when the fps goes under 90? but the fps stays between 140-90 on the drop ship the game has 50-60 fps..... how do i get rid of the stutter?? do i need to find a way to get more fps? or get it stable? in that case how?? all settings are already low. v-sync is off in game and in control panel. The monitor itself has Adaptive Sync.. yet this is turned off. Hope anyone can help.. [CM - cleaned up formatting]

@Heli0sH00KI 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.

@Heli0sH00K, To activate Freesync, you have to change the color profile of your monitor to "Gaming-FreeSync" (press the third buttom from the left of the Monitor twice). After that you need to activate g sync compatible mode in nvidia graphics settings.Like I said, level 5 makes fast scenarios like gaming blury because its to much overshot, I recommend level 4 or lower. It is probably also due to this setting that other resolutions and Hz rates look blurry.

@Heli0sH00K Is your screen connected via displayport? Try the "Gaming" mode, only then will the option appear in the graphics card settings to enable freesync.

@Heli0sH00K Well, that's something.It is not the best, but it should be sufficient for this application area. I would buy it just longer than half a meter, however.The cables are specified in such a way that the Hz number of the maximum resolution can be seen. This means that with a lower resolution, more bandwidth is available and a higher Hz number can be set. Displayport 1.2 usually supports a refresh rate of up to 240 Hz in Full HD.

Hi @Heli0sH00K, Have you noticed any of the in-game performance icons popping up around the time the game is stuttering? /Kent

It happens to me as well and I'm on PC. I've tried even changing priority by hand (first to above normal then below after) and I still get the same stutter. I get the packet loss emblem (3 stagger-stacked squares with the middle one having a dotted line) one I rubber band

@Sick1ClickNo i'm using hdmi. I found a way to get the stutter reduced to a small hickup every few minutes.... by putting the hz down to 100hz.
So i need a displayport to make the most out of this screen?

I found a cable i can get deliverd to me in 2 days. But there are many differant versions. Is in this pic below a good one to buy?
Edit: i cant find any 144hz ones. Only the resolution goes up. As does the price😛
