[SOLVED] Apex Legends FPS drops

[FergyBoi]

Hello. I just upgraded my PC a few days ago, Ryzen 5 1600, ASrock b450m pro4, 16gb 3200mhz ram, Asus Strix Radeon RX 570

I was running apex completely fine, at 60-144 FPS. And then earlier today I got on, and my frames were 10-144, my frames were dropping every 2-3 seconds. Making it completely unplayable, and super frusterating. I have no idea why this is happening, my CPU, GPU, and RAM were all running below 50%, and the highest temps I was seeing for all of these were 55c.

Thank You!

The Ryzen 1600 is a slow CPU by modern standards with an older architecture, low clock speeds, and low IPC. It's fine for 1080p at 60 fps in many games, but try to hit frame rates above 60 fps consistently and it'll hold you back.

Ideally, you want a Ryzen 5600X, although a Ryzen 3600 should provide a solid boost as well.

SOLVED! I reinstalled the game in the meantime while waiting for someone to respond, and I'm getting 60+ at all times!

Thank You anyway.
