@lPumpsDadl I doubt my GPU is the real issue here. No other game I play has any issue whatsoever and tooling suggest my GPU is fine.
Viewing core usage separately is a good tip! I'll keep an eye out for that.
Just removed all the shader cache and hope this evenings game session runs smoothly.
I know I don't have a top of the range system, but it should run Apex just fine.

in my case, fps, I don't have 100% drops in gpu and cpu and I have micro-stuttering, so I don't know what's going on
- 4 years ago
I've stuttering issues since July I think. (Maybe the genesis update, but i can't confirm).
It happens the most when the game starts (both BR and arenas). BR : In the ship or after the jump. In Arenas : During the countdown. But it can happen after too ....
It's a big quick FPS drop, 144 to 80 for exemple and less than 1 second.
My PC :
AMD 5900X
3080 Ti FE
32 Gb @ 3600 Mhz
WD Black 1 Tb - 4 years agoI understand if I had fps drops, but ping and fps are good, but microsstutering accompanies me in every match, and what is the problem? in every match, and what is the problem?
- 4 years agoeven to me the components don't jump to 100% cpu and gpu use, that's amazing
- 4 years ago@L4JKAN Have you expanded your task manager to show you all your cores at once instead of the default view of Total CPU usage. Every case I have seen has Total CPU usage below 100%, but one core is at 100% when their stuttering happens.
- 4 years ago@lPumpsDadl I'm not 100% used, that's not what it's about, see screenshot

gpu usage and cpu is fine, this game is a joke
- 4 years ago@Fasty07 Is that WD Black 1TB the SSD or old school spinning/mechanical disk? If you go back a page and read my post in the disk usage section, you'll see that Apex now loads the entire data off hard disk at start (around 5GB-6GB). On and SSD, that takes about a minute, so isn't a huge deal since it takes that long to get in your first match. On spinning disk, that will take 4-5 minutes, so it will affect your first match or more. Every time the game decides to read a lot of data from the drive, it will take really long for non-SSD PCs.
- 4 years ago@L4JKAN What is your "normal" FPS and what does it fluctuate at when you get stuttering/skipping?
- 4 years ago@lPumpsDadl The point is that I was playing with msi afterburner which was on all the time and nothing jumped, I do not have a typical stutter, I have microstutter, the fps in the game are good, they do not fall off, I have 165hz rtx 2070 ryzen 5 3600 16gb xmp monitor on, I play with locked fps at 165 by rivatuner, if it unlocks fps it's only worse, the game is unplayable, I have a game installed on the m2 disk, every other game runs smoothly but not this one
- 4 years ago@L4JKAN welcome to the club. Apex also used to run fine for all of us, but here we are. Ever since around Genesis, performance changed for all of us. It feels different to everybody depending on the mix of hardware they have. On a side note, for most games, especially the ones incorporating Nvidia Reflex, you will get lower input lag by having the game engine limit your FPS versus something outside the game engine like Rivatuner or Nvidia Control Panel settings. I've tested this and felt the difference in Valorant and CSGO. Even in previous versions of Apex, but right now with such bigger problems, small input delay tuning is a moot point with Apex. When Apex gets better, enable FPS limit in game, take it off Rivatuner, and enable Reflex with boost (if you have your own custom GPU OC, then just enable Reflex without the boost).
- 4 years ago@lPumpsDadl It's the SSD, nvme.
I tried to check my disk activity during the drop, but i don't think the disk is guilty.... - 4 years ago@Fasty07 You'll be fine then. On SSD or PCIe (NVMe), the game finishes loading about 1 minute after opening the game. By the time you get a server for your first match, it has been more than 1 minute. I feel sorry for people on spinning disks (mechanical).
