Low fps regardless of settings and resolution [ Edited ]

[ThirdPARTlED]

Hi, this problem occurred to me on the 2nd of October without me changing any settings in game or on windows. Prior to this I get around 110 fps on dropship and constant 144 on the ground. Now I get ~30 fps on dropship and 60-138 fps on the ground (I capped it to 138). 

I’ve tried almost allpossible solution, but the problem still persists. I noticed when I’m looking at buildings, the fps drops, regardless the settings or resolution.I attached some screenshots below showing me running the game at 720p. 

things that I’ve tried: 

1. reinstall windows (with the delete everything option) 

2. reinstall apex on both origin and steam 

3. DDU, trying both latest and previous drivers

4. clearing dx, nvdia, and system cache 

5. running ISLC

6. upgrade to windows 11 and downgrade back to 10 

7. Tweaking all settings including video config file 

8. update all drivers and bios 

9. Tested all windows 10 settings (GPU hardware acceleration on and off, gaming mode on and off) 

10. uninstall the most recent windows update 

11. exploring all available launch option 

12. I forgot all the other small optimisations. 

running userbench showed above average results, and other games performed well. 

pc specs: 

i5 9400f, RTX2060, 16GB ram, nvme ssd 

please help. Thank you.

I managed to solve the problem by reseating my gpu. I hope this helps anyone with similar problem.

Update: run cinebench r15 to make sure cpu is not the problem. 

also tried these troubleshooting steps from 100% cpu usage thread 

• It's possible this is related to Windows Defender. These instructions may help.
• This could also be related to EasyAntiCheat. Take a look at this fix that worked for some folks.

also noticed fps is low only when looking at buildings. Anyone can explain or help please.

@ThirdPARTlED reseating means removing the graphics card from the mobo and putting in again? Sorry my english its not that great ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

[ThirdPARTlED]

Yes. Remove Gpu from mobo, (make sure the safety pin is not locked), and while you’re at it can do some quick dusting on the gpu connector and in the mobo slot, and just reinstall back the gpu. Hope this helps.
