There are a lot of apex legend performance and FPS optimization guides, this one is a bit different. Many people have tinkered with max fps and V-sync, but not many have really went further to minimize stuttering, FPS spikes, drops and input lag, all these things can be very important especially for those who want that competitive edge and become the apex predator.

Apex has a problem with anisotropic filtering, even trilinear. Only happens in very heavy grass areas like in olympus. If you are using a monster of a graphic card, well, you will get a fps hit but not very noticeable, but for those hanging around 100 most of the time, turning the filtering to bilineal makes a huge difernece (it is the only ever game where i have found this diference).

Dear Ottr, I am a seasoned apex vet with about 500hrs on controller early in the games life and more recently 1300+hrs on PC from season 9 until now. I am a small time twitch streamer that started in January after buying a whole new setup. For all the hours I've put in this game I always feel like I just am not as good as I should be, until following this guide. I LITERALLY did not know that although my monitor is 200hz, windows had been capping that to 60hz by default and thus apex has been capping my game to 60fps. I just got off a 8hr shift at my normal job and it's 3am for me now so usually my apex games at this time would be pretty mediocre as I'm tired as hell. Literally my first game after following this guide and now maintaining a steady 197fps instead of 60, I shredded through a pubs lobby like butter with the easiest 12 kill 2.5k dmg game of my life. The game feels smooth as butter and I genuinely think changing these settings was the missing piece in my apex career. Thank you for elevating my game and sincerely changing my life. -ttv Symbioticl

[@DavidJasonHarper]

@@thomasraymond6146 not sure if @SteliMan is referencing micro stutters, but that issue has since been fixed for a few months now. I reccomend setting your fps and refresh rate in RTTS to match your screen refresh rate. Lowering it gives no advantage unless your hardware is struggling. Good luck shredding gamers!

[@pitchatan]

Depending on GPU you might want to either turn off anistropic filtering or setting it to 2x at most if you are running a higher texture budget. Filtering higher resolution textures is taxing as all hell, so might want to turn it down for a bit more performance (this wasn't a problem in older games, but the more pixels per texture you are filtering the more it takes.. just saying). Another thing that might be worth looking into is how stable frametimes affect recoil.. this might be completely anecdotal or down to placebo but i feel like capping your framerate properly via RTSS somehow makes recoil smoothing easier (i have 240+ fps regardless in any situation, but capping at my monitors 165hz refresh rate with RTSS somehow made this feel better overall). Think this might be down to how recoil works as it uses frametime to interpolate toward the intended "push value" when you shoot.

Capping your frames to 165, when you can push higher frames, just gives you more input delay.

[@machinchouette5233]

@@Petrixxxxxxx Yeah but having too much frames over ur refresh rate is making the frame queue longer thus increasing input lag. So there a sweet spot of fps for each specific framerate.

[@LeSkinner]

anisotropic filtering is one of the settings that have a minimal impact on performance between turned off an 16x. I don't know what ancient device you should be running the game on to where AF would cost you even 1-2 frames, but at that point you have bigger issues than AF. It's not usually taxing at all. You might be confusing it with antialiasing which is hella taxing on GPUs.

[@angelqueme4688]

Ty Ottr This was what I needed

[@sightseeer1349]

"Prefer maximum performance" can cause stutter, when the GPU runs into the power limit, which creates a framedrop when the driver is then downclocking the GPU speed while the CPU is still requesting the same GPU render work. You can use this if you keep your GPU under the power limit for example by limiting FPS etc.

[@hypeisboomboom543]

for those running on laptop keep it charged/wired for the fps

[@Affablegames]

G-sync is amazing for those who struggle to hit their refresh rate, but if u can hit it consistently then having it off is prob more beneficial, either way personally I like to look at my frame times using RTSS and try to keep it linear for the best smoothness. If your fps is unstable jumping across 180 up to 300 you will have inconsistency in your inputs due to frame time variance. At the end of the day it is personal preference. Also if ur PC pulls 300 or 400+ fps on Apex u def don't need to worry about framtimes since the frame time variance is near or less than a few milliseconds that may not affect you. only downside of having a consistent frame time is for the times that u would normally exceed ur frame cap you would be missing out on newer info since the frame times are lower at a higher fps, I choose consistency over higher fps because I feel like it is better for muscle memory

[@irazak48]

When i activate g-sync does i Need to use fast sync aswell or I can let The vsync option off

[@karolkonieczka]

I have the same concern. The only thing i can recommend you to either change is capping fps with Steam/origin command or using reflex ON or boost so it auto capps with gsync and vsync on; do not use RTSS (it adds significant input lag in order to provide perfect stability. With ingame cap its still super stable and you dont get like extra ~20ms of input lag dependly on your refresh rate. So in the end if you cant hit your monitors refresh rate or you can but you still prefer stability turn on Gsync + NVCP Vsync + Reflex On or Boost. On the other hand if you can mantain your monitors refresh ALWAYS, and you can use motion blur reduction (ULMB or DyAc +) if your monitor suppor it( remeber you cant use MBR and VRR at the same time) consider using it as it makes your image so much clearer but for some people can cause headache or eyestrain. I dont recommend other BFI / MBR technologies then the 2 i mentioned. 3rd option is when you can run game on much higher fps so you dont use gsync and vsync and frame cap but you should use reflex (it wont autocap since not using gsync)

If you have Anisotropic filtering on with 8x, 16x the game looks so sharpened up, and on most of map it's pretty distracting specially on Olympus, I use 8x with Anisotropic on even tho people say its blurry, it's not that bad just imagine something like FXAA or Nvidia DLSS, that's what you call blurry stuff, All depends on your monitor and your likings ofc but Anisotropic with 8x is pretty good if you have mid pc

[@IIHydraII]

6:14 Interesting, it's pretty well documented from numerous sources that RTSS has more input lag, but more stable frametimes than engine FPS limits (and vice versa).

Some of this tips will only be noticed by some depending on your hardware

Alright. I'm not a big fan of you ottr but credit is due where it's due. These tweaks has helped somewhat make my game consistent fps wise. For context, i have a low-end gaming laptop with 8 gigs of ram, i5 8th gen and a 1050 4g. The game can't run at 60 fps consistently, heck there are times when I'm playing at 45 fps and drops even further to 30 when I'm at the waterfall in Olympus. After i tried these tweaks and changed my res to 1440x900, i have a consistent 52-57 fps as i have limited the frame rates using rtss to 57. Ngl i fucking dropped a 4k first game, which is by the way my very first since i was hardstuck 3k. With that in mind, I'm happy these settings and tweaks worked for me. Also, if anyone wants to try them on a low end pc, make sure everything is set to low in apex's settings. Thanks Ottr. This wasn't a clickbait. I'm happy I clicked on the video and watched it unbiasedly. I can't wait for the day I get a real desktop gaming PC as I'm sure playing on med/high end setup will increase my in-game skills and performance. Btw just as a side note, my current gaming rig didn't stop me from trying my best. Last split i got masters, rn d4. Just for anyone out there like me, we'll be beasts one day when we get our dream PCs. Cheers!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

Yeah, if settings are already at minimum and you're still limited by your GPU, reducing resolution further is pretty much the only thing left. Also might be worth setting up a resolution that is scaled by a full integer to your native res. Which might end up very low, but should give performance.

I would really recommend turning on antialiasing because without it jitter lines can crawl across your screen like the grass panels in Olympus and be distracting or look like bullet trails. Also effects details on low makes thermite grenades harder to see through. And make sure to turn impact marks to high if you are trying to practice recoil control as it allows more bullet holes to be visible. I would recommend turning vsync on only if you are experience highly distracting screen tear, otherwise keep it off.

[@Yurgen_S]

How i deal with input delay in low-end GPUs (RX 570 and i5 10400f) (edit: full focus on input lag. If you want a super smooth experience, follow ottr's RTSS tips): it's basically the ingame FPS cap: bold, i know, but i've tested many solutions, and it works - because it makes sense. I cap my FPS to my monitors refresh rate (75fps, 75hz) using the *launch command* : +fps_max 75. Driver or RTSS's caps may introduce some amount of delay because they are injected/artificial caps, defeating the effort - though Riva's Scanline Sync is so damn good and smooth, great alternative to vsync on non competitive games, or just the RTSS cap itself, really smooth. I run the game at very min settings @1080p native, just to make sure i can hit 75fps at all times. Tearing can be a problem in some days, messing the "smooth feel", but there are days where it doesnt seem to matter: maybe servers, maybe background tasks. Moving from Steam to Origin seems to have helped a bit (grain of salt). To any one interested, just look up "Battlenonsense input lag" on youtube: the dude made scientific-ish videos exploring AMD Anti-Lag, Nvidia Low Latency and Nvidia Reflex, trying to understand how they work, but also how (ingame and external) FPS caps are helpful in reducing input lag. TLDR about the guy's work: the reason capping FPS lowers input lag is because when the GPU is not at 100%, frames produced by the CPU will be rendered as soon as possible (because GPU is available), reducing delay/input lag. I probably wouldn't cap it at 120fps (if it was my minimum), the fluctuation wouldn't be so bad (for me). But it's really worth it at lower framerates: you get rid of the fluctuation without losing much responsivity, *shockingly* . If I had an Nvidia card I'd enable Reflex and not cap it, since it basically keeps the GPU just below 98%-ish at any framerate, giving the same effect. Having reflex+boost basically forces the GPU to "work hard" on max clocks, as to mitigate the 2% loss in GPU power. I don't have an Nvidia card, so idk, maybe capping would still be worth due to the consistency of frametimes and muscle memory. Since I game on an AMD card, I enable Anti-Lag: it improves input lag when the GPU is at 100%, meaning the drops below 75fps fell less jarring (they still feel noticeably worse, even when it hits just 74fps, because GPU would be at 100%). It's low-end, but it doesnt have to be jarring.

[@Adam-my8qx]

Without anti-aliasing I was getting artifacts at a distance around bridges and steep vertical objects. Sniping would be a challenge with the target playing around these artifacts. Only have a 2060 super but seems to be getting a consistent ~158fps now using 95% of what ottr showed in this video.

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

I think Apex without AA looks like arse. I turn it on and then also turn on sharpening in the drivers (otherwise it's too soft). That gives the best results by far. Works for both Radeon and GeForce cards. This turn everything to the lowest possible settings until it looks like a low-res version of the Simpsons just doesn't do it for me.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

@@jasonhurdlow6607 Yeah, AA is highly subjective. Depends on the person and the game. Some are really sensitive to the jaggies, others don't notice it. Some games will become incredibly smooth, others don't change much at all. In some games it blurs stuff in the distance, making it harder to see things, in others it clears the difference and make things easier to see.

[@jasonhurdlow6607]

I should note that NVidia recently changed their sharpening. The old sharpening that I like is now hidden and you have to edit the registry to enable it. The new one is mixed in with the upscaling feature and has issues. I don't know why they did this, but it's highly annoying.

I was feeling myself like neo from matrix I saw exactly how my enemies were moving and it was easy for me to track them, my tracking was on another level ngl.. i knew that i was more better player than i'am with my home pc, but... Unfortunately i have dogshit pc and it's limits me so bad. no fps drops on gibby ult or bangalore smoke or termite nade... That was just unbelievable for me in club, on every situation tracking was good with out input lag and etc etc. Sorry if i have grammar mistakes guys. P.s i also feel sad when i realise, that sometimes i have to fight against 240fps predator monsters with my 58-60fps 😅😅😅

[@vago5425]

i have almost the same spec as yours ( i have gtx 1050ti ) and i dont know how 240 fps on 240hz monitor feels like. I'm a hardstuck D4 playing on 60hz monitor. i always wonder can i even hit master with 60 fps average and you answered my question xD

[@theforzed9861]

@@vago5425 to be honest, if u have 2 friends who playing apex, its very easy to get master (im playing always in fullstack). If u dont trust me, u can add me in steam and i show you everything. In solo ofc it will be harder, but i have solo experience and i only got d2 (bad teammates bad loot, lovely battleroyale things ☺️☺️. Harder but still possible

Thank youuu!!!

[@k0bain]

There‘s an actual misinformation in regard of that g-sync and vsync topic in that video. Basically v-sync is needed for g-sync to work as intended - that is correct - but if you force v sync on on the driver level it keeps your frame rate below your max. refresh rate at all times. So there‘s no need for an external tool like rtss and or any kind of additional cap on the driver side anymore. So if you‘re using G-Sync + V-Sync and turn on reflex ingame, your framerate will always be around 138 (on 144Hz Screens) or 224/225 on 240Hz Screens.

[@p3gasussaint775]

so is it better to turn on gsync or turning it off ? cuz im playing with a 144hz monitor and my fps is automatically capped at 138fps after this video tutorial. Was wondering if I will still get the privileges' of the 144hz even having 138 fps capped

[@k0bain]

@@p3gasussaint775 Technically speaking, I'd recommend to turn off G-Sync and V-Sync if your rig is capable to hold a high frame rate at all times. Especially if you're playing competitive first person shooters. You may benefit from a g-sync + v-sync scenario in a single player game like Tomb Raider or Cyberpunk, when you max out everything but the game is having a bad time to reach lets say 80 Frames constantly on a 144Hz-Monitor. Then it's totally fine to enable both.

[@p3gasussaint775]

ive tried both with and without gsync, I noticed theres a huge graphic tear without gsync in the game while with the gsync on theres no tear at all (at least thats what i noticed)

[@k0bain]

@@p3gasussaint775 that makes sense. With G-Sync on on the other hand you‘ll notice a slight delay or lag when it comes to mouse movement. Your shots will not land correctly on a wide range, too. It‘s up to you if you want to have a clear image or success in your fights.

i have a $11k pc I've been messing with settings a lot of setting to try and get a stable 300fps setup with minimal tearing and motion blur i have a 360hz monitor but apex caps out at 300 sadly its been a struggle tuning apex with the servers being so inconsonant i had most of the setting you showed already set up on my global setting in NVidia control panel but changet the gsync from full screen only to both and set up all the setting in r5apex to be set and not say same as global setting the game became more stable so thank you for the excellent explanations

A .zip file is just a compression (makes the file smaller.) You need to unzip it to unload the program Think of it like taking groceries out of your car. You pack them into a small trunk, and to eat them you need to unpack it and load it into your pantry or fridge!

Also don't let people bring you down about buying a pre built pc.

[@kmm8527]

If your PC can run Apex faster than your monitor refresh rate for example 190fps on 144hz monitor i wouldn't use g sync and u shouldn't use RTSS for limiting fps because in Apex it increases latency (always use built in game fps limiter if it's necessary) check Optimum tech and Hardware unboxed benchmarks if u don't believe me, in Apex more fps = lower input lag

[@xenen9797]

*lower perceived input lag.

[@k0bain]

You actually cannot use G-Sync with a frame rate higher than your monitor refresh rate.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

in most games more fps gives you lower input lag because the frames are just rendered quicker. But there isn't only input lag for each individual frame, but also frame consistency. rock solid consistent 120 fps will feel better than fluctuations between 150 and 190

[@DaangerrMW3]

Quite a few elements are wrong here! If you benchmark against Fr33thy's config for example you will see a difference.

[@youn65imba38]

Hey man! I did tons of testing with the videocfg and autoexec files. While you can change specific things like gamma (brightness) and shadows on/off, settings like those aren't specifically labeled, and are likely a combo of a bunch of other small settings. I reccomend deleting the videocfg file contents, saving that, un-check read only, and set all the in game settings you want. Then close the game and copy the newly edited videocfg. Make changes that you know and are labeled like the gamma and turning off shadows, then save and check read-only. Hope this helped! Lmk if you have any more questions!

Can anyone elaborate on what issues Low Latency Mode on Ultra causes? The nvidia control panel says it minimizes latency when both V-sync and G-sync are enabled so I always thought it was good to have. TIA

[@shamba4406]

It doesn't even do anything In Apex If you can use Reflex beacause Reflex will override low latency mode

[@solononforever]

WARNING: This video is clickbait - My fps def dropped with these settings. Also you cant use gsync with borderless window mode as it causes major fps drop + screen tearing

[@Imposure]

personally I feel like Freesync really messes with Apex, try Low-latency set to ON Vsync Disabled, Reflex Enabled in game, Sunshadow coverage Enabled, Shadow detail disabled, volumetric lighting & dynamic spot shadows disabled, impact marks high, ragdolls, effects, low, model detail medium or low.
