Question Getting as low as 60fps on Apex Legends with my rig :/

[Ruhward]

While landing at the beginning I go as low as 50fps, then when I land I'm NEVER above 100fps, unless I'm in a deserted area, or looking up in the sky. In gunfights it'll go down to 60-80ish. This guy has a lower rig than me and he's getting almost 180fps...

I have everything in game on the lowest settings and I'm struggling more than him when I doubt he has everything on low too. He looks like a casual player and casuals usually never care about performance. They're more on the quality side, rather than the performance.

Yes I downloaded the latest drivers.

I'm not that smart when it comes to PC equipment, but this does not seem right. Even on CSGO I barely hit over 200fps (not that I care that much about that). I've had this PC for almost 4 years just saying, but I don't believe it's because my PC is old, because that's not that old.

My rig is almost the same as the guy in the youtube vid :

GPU - GTX 1070
CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3401 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
RAM - (no idea what its called sorry) 1 stick of 16 GB RAM
Motherboard - no idea lol
System Model - Alienware Aurora R5

Hey! Check your temps? Download an application such as HWInfo and check your temperatures while in game, and post a screenshot here of both your CPU temps and your GPU temps

I had no idea how to screenshot it when I had the game running at fullscreen. So I played an entire game in windows mode and every time I looked at the CPU it was at 64-65% and the GPU was at 69-70%.

No, no, no, mate.
You need to fix this first. The capacity does not make up for the missing memory bandwidth the cpu needs from dual channel.

I'm assuming you're telling me to buy another RAM stick? Cause what you just said sounded confusing

That, or a 2x 8GB kit. I can't guarantee that simply adding another stick won't be issue free though; memory is tested & certified to work as sold.

Temperatures, not usage. Keep HWinfo open in the background alt tab and take a screenshot

I didn't mean to say percent. I meant to say 64-65C and the GPU was at 68-70C*
