Same. Changing the texture filtering to bilinear, worked. no more dropping frames in open grassy fields. waterfalls however remains an fps and audio mess.
regardless, waiting on that perf patch.

Yea, this one setting (Texture Filtering) is the issue, but turning it down only helps in the grassy areas. Waterfalls is still very bad no matter what setting, even at lowest Bilinear. I got mine to be ok at Anisotropic 2x without issue, so i'll leave it at that until Respawn fixes the problem.

I see they have the audio issues on the dev tracker. The FPS issues however are still not mentioned on the dev tracker. Doesn't mean they aren't aware of it. I hope they are as I can't imagine the devs themselves haven't encountered these issues while playing the new season post release.

Really want to be able to play it without these FPS drops (going to test next with bilinear, haven't tested that yet though I think I already have everything on lowest including texture filtering and still having the FPS drops but need to double check)

As I mentioned earlier game combined with the graphics drivers is responsible for the FPS issues. It is hard to mitigate this problem, but this is what I found so far:
Side note: since 456.71, Nvidia added Reflex SDK support as a beta and Apex since October’s 12th patch has it implemented and enabled by default. Reflex replaces well known “Low Latency” setting from Nvidia Control Panel, so if you decide to use it, then make sure that Low Latency is set to “off” there. Reflex also enables driver-based FPS cap, which can be only disabled through Nvidia Profile Inspector. If you want to use FPS cap, the best choice for the most stable frame pacing is to use RTSS cap (avoid using in-game cap as well!)
Side note 2: You cannot disable Reflex by game’s command line option. It does not work. I have measured game’s latency having +gfx_nvnUseLowLatency on and off and nothing has changed. Latency is is the same down to 0.1 ms of difference (measurement error).
This is what you can do for now to achieve most smooth game play before game’s engine gets a proper optimization patch and Nvidia fixes their Reflex implementation too.

If you disable this software, does that have any effect? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Any map and any zone. In the firing range or the lobby screen, my gpu works fine at 100% and +300 fps.
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Just playing
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? A lot
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? The problem that I have exactly is that while I'm in the lobby or firing range, the graphics works at 100%, at 1700mhz + - and everything seems to be going well, but when I start playing a normal game, the use of the gpu drops to 50%, 70% or less, and also the mhz of the graph clock also drops even to 400mhz, which causes me brutal fps drops in some cases and stuttering in others, in which even having 140fps, all caused by these drops in use and mhz. The other games work perfectly, only happens in Apex
What should be happening instead? Just smooth gameplay i guess
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I dont know, Im only having issues at Apex

Troubleshooting:
I have tried to adjust the frequencies from adrenalin and it does not help, even if I set them fixed it still lowers the use and frequency of the GPU. I have tried to lock and unlock the fps at 144 and everything remains the same, to use the drivers without the adrenalin suite and nothing

Before I explain my issue I want to tell you guys what i've done to try and fix it
I've reinstalled, both on the origin launcher and now steam launcher. (Also verified files as well when on steam)
Turned every single graphical option to it's lowest, even though my computer can perfectly handle it at it's highest
Turned both wifi and computer off and on multiple times to try and see if that'll help and I'm not going to factory reset my pc just for this game
My PC specs are
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
AMD Ryzen 5 3500X 6-Core Processor
32 gigs of ram and both latest updates of windows 10 and Geforce
The Issue
My game a majority of the time, especially in the main menu lobby and it's hard to move around with this visual bug, I've tried everything to fix it (as seen above) and it's not fixing.
Along with that I've also been kicked out of most matches due to Code Shoe. Sometimes I get lucky and have a few matches where it doesn't happen, but the match before writing this had the disconnection error happen more then 5 times in a single match, rejoining as soon as I can to help my teammates only to be booted out once again and everywhere I look people say the Texture streaming budget is the reason why this happens, so I have that completely off! and it worked for a while.. until last game :c
I don't know how to fix this, when looking around i can't find fixes unless it involves stuff i've already tried, and I want to play this game, I really do but how can I with this?
