Bad performance/FPS?

[connora869]

Hello!

So my PC meets minimum requirements easily, however I still get horrendous FPS lag and drops? I've attached my DxDiag, any help would be great!

Check your video settings and reduce the Texture streaming budget to 2GB

Im doing some research into effective setting changes with Apex so let me know if it helps you

[connora869]

I've got everything on low. Literally lowest of all settings. I've also used Nvidia to optimise the game with minor effect.

Okay something you can tweak to lower the settings:

Open Nvidia control panel and go to 3D settings.

then in global settings turn ambient occlusion to performance.

Now go to the Program setting tab.

Find or add the progam Apex legends, it should look like this:

Apply settings like so, you may not have all these settings:

In game options:

and the rest off.

Be sure to reduce your resolution from the native resolution.

If you have 1920x1080 try 1280 720 for example.

Just wanted to do a check list makesure your not just turning everything off without knowing what improves performance.

So that seems to have sorted it. However - when I lower the resolution the brightness is really bad and therefore hard to play. But if I dont use a lower resolution it lags. Any idea?

[The_Tibber]

I dont know why the brightness of the monitor would be affected.

Maybe switch between full screen and boardered?

[connora869]

No change sadly.

My screen brightness also changes with resolution or FPS settings, such a weird game, lol.

But for me, geforce experience has been causing big frame drops in many games, so I uninstalled it and can easily lock to between 100-120 FPS in games like fortnite or overwatch.

In this game I had to lock at half my monitors refresh (72FPS) in order to stop the constant frame drops.

Id say post a bug report and let the Dev's look into this and be sure to forward this post so others know what you have tried
