Resolve Micro Stuttering Issues in Apex Legends
Resolve Micro Stuttering Issues in Apex Legends
I currently use an Intel Core i5-4670k processor with 16GB of DDR3 RAM, an NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card, and a 600-watt power supply, running Windows 7. My drivers are all the latest versions. I’m investigating whether replacing the CPU would eliminate instances of stuttering.
Not really, but still not.
A solid cooling solution is necessary for that, and it’s a worthwhile investment.
You’re letting that CPU’s capabilities go unused by not overclocking it.

You’re letting your processor’s capabilities go unused by failing to overclock it.
You can perform some diagnostics:
download MSI Afterburner alongside the performance monitor and observe CPU and GPU utilization while gaming.
It’s likely that the CPU will reach its maximum capacity due to having only 4 cores/4 threads and it being relatively underpowered for this graphics card at standard speeds.
What is your average frame rate in the game? Perhaps adjusting the fps cap to 60 might reveal a discernible improvement? At what resolution are you playing?
Frame rates fluctuate significantly, ranging from 115 to 190 on minimal configurations. Implementing a fixed 60 frames per second last night appears to improve stability and has eliminated the crashes. I'm considering upgrading the processor; a Ryzen 2600 or Ryzen 7 2700 would be suitable options.
