So I dusted off my old PC to play some Apex with friends, and I'm running into the same issue I had last time with this setup: everything performs horribly despite my system specs comfortably exceeding what would be needed to run something like Apex.
System specs:
- Intel Core i7 2600K @3.40GHz, Sandy Bridge 32nm
- 16GB DDR3 RAM @665MHz
- Gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3 (not sure how relevant this is at all, but I have absolutely no idea where to even begin troubleshooting so idk)
- Windforce GTX 970
- Samsung 850 PRO SSD
I'm running the game at 1080p, low-medium settings (although putting everything on low doesn't make it notably better). I get 15-17 FPS in the drop, and 20-29 on foot. If I turn off v-sync completely it'll bounce wildly between 20-60, usually staying in the 25-40 window. It's so stuttery and unplayable.
I've completely wiped this machine, restored the SSD and reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 10. The only software on it is Origin, Chrome and Apex. I have no idea where to even start to fix this; the GPU drivers are up to date, temps look good. Everything seems fine?
