I've seen other similar posts, was wondering if there was a problem, my brother is not being able to run the game on an RX 580 8GB, I'm going to test my RTX 2080 as soon as it downloads.

Exactly same specs here 1080ti, i7700, 16gb ddr4 and windows 10

Attached is a screenshot of my GPU while idle in the menus in the training screen with all graphics settings set to the lowest, sits at 100% utilization constantly.

There is something very wrong here, running every other game at highest settings with no issues and this game stutters and lags on the lowest.

Hey, @ArchfiendNZ  @OldManSkillsTV @SrAbsolution 

Can try to do a clean boot to see if there any programs messing with Apex and turn off any overlay programs for example Discord or Nvidia experience.

Try running a CCleaner to remove old temp files and cache.

Let me know if this works or not for you.

i dont have discord or nvidia experiences installed and im using CCleaner everytime i boot doesnt change anything and i doubt any of this has anything to do with extreamly high gpu usage

Same issue for me, i tried to activate the game on Nvidia control panel but no effect and the game is running on low settings when I should be able to run it on ultra

it's not normal, badly optimized

I turned off a few additional taskbar programs, they were:

- Roboform

- Plex

- Steam Launcher

- Epic Games Launcher

One of those services was the culprit, it had been so long I'd had a game be interfered with like that (by other programs) that I'd forgotten to do this.

However, although my performance is better in game the GPU usage remains at 100% consistently.

I'm also getting the same issue, my GPU is at 97-100% usage and I get fluctuating FPS from 50-60 to 90+ depending on where I'm looking or what's happening. I'm running at 2560x1440p 

My rig:

1080Ti

i7 8700k @ 4.2Ghz

32GB DDR 4 RAM 3000Mhz

I've tried going down to 1080p and my fps does improve but it still fluctuates a lot.
