Ultimate Guide to Maximize FPS & Fix Lag in Apex Legends on Low End PCs

Is Apex Legends plagued by stuttering, freezing, and low FPS on your low-end or aging PC? Are lag and performance issues negatively impacting your experience and gameplay? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

In this comprehensive guide, I’ll show you every trick in the book to dramatically boost your FPS and fix lag in Apex Legends, even if you have an extremely weak or potato PC. While low-spec systems may struggle to run Apex Legends smoothly, there are many tweaks and optimizations you can leverage to enhance performance and playability.

These tips allowed me to double my FPS and eliminate constant stuttering on my Intel integrated graphics laptop. They can help you achieve buttery smooth gameplay even if your system doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements for Apex Legends.

Let’s dive right into all the best methods for running Apex Legends smoothly on low end PCs!

1. Use Optimal In-Game Video Settings

The most impactful way to boost FPS in Apex Legends is by using the best in-game video and graphics settings suited for weak PCs. This involves minimizing the load on your GPU and CPU by...

• Lowering resolutions to 720p or 900p if needed
• Using all low graphic quality presets
• Disabling taxing settings like ambient occlusion, anti-aliasing
• Capping your FPS to your monitor's refresh rate
• Disabling VSync to reduce input lag

Experiment to find the right balance of settings that maximize FPS while retaining playable visual quality. This will form the base of your optimization and offer the biggest FPS improvement.

2. Update Your Graphics Drivers

Keeping your GPU drivers fully updated is key to ensuring peak gaming performance in any title, including Apex Legends. Outdated drivers can heavily cripple FPS and cause glitches or crashes.

Visit the website for your graphics card brand such as NVIDIA or AMD and download the latest drivers. Use their auto-detect software if you're not sure what GPU model you have. Perform clean installs to completely replace old drivers.

3. Close Background Apps and Processes

Windows and other apps running unnecessary background processes can consume CPU cycles and RAM needed by Apex Legends, resulting in worse performance. Freeing up these resources allocates them fully to your game.

Use Task Manager to view and end background tasks and processes not critical for your PC. Disable startup programs you don't need. Shut down apps like web browsers when playing.

4. Disable Game DVR and Overlays

Windows 10 includes built-in Game DVR and Game Bar features that can reduce FPS in games. Disabling them prevents performance impact from background recording and overlays.

Head to Settings > Gaming > Game DVR and disable record game clips and screenshots. Also disable the Xbox Game Bar.

5. Adjust CPU Priority and Affinity

You can optimize CPU usage for Apex Legends by increasing its process priority and affinity. This dedicates more CPU power towards the game rather than other tasks.

Use Task Manager or a third party program to set ApexLegends.exe priority to High or Above Normal. You can also set CPU affinity to limit it to 2-4 of your cores.

6. Set Nvidia Control Panel Settings

If you have an Nvidia GPU, optimizing settings in Nvidia Control Panel can yield higher and more stable FPS in Apex Legends.

Enable Threaded Optimization, set Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance, disable Shader Cache to boost FPS. Turn Low Latency Mode to Ultra for less input lag.

7. Use Launch Options

Using Apex Legends' launch options allows you to tweak how the game allocates resources and hardware upon startup. This gives a handy FPS increase.

Try launch options like +fps_max 0, -refresh [HZ], -high, -threads 4. Create custom configs using ApexCFG or config generators.

8. Overclock Your Components

If thermals allow, moderately overclocking your CPU and GPU can provide extra frames. Use apps like MSI Afterburner to safely overclock.

Even small overclocks of 100-200 MHz on the GPU core clock can offer tangible FPS gains. Enable performance thermal profiles.

9. Clean Up Your PC

A clean Windows install free of bloatware ensures system resources are utilized optimally for gaming. Clean up hard drive space, run CC cleaner, uninstall unused programs.

Defragging your hard drive allows faster asset streaming. Reapply fresh thermal paste on your CPU for cooler sustained clocks.

10. Use a FPS Boosting Program

Third party game boosters and FPS unlockers like Razer Cortex can further optimize background processes, services and other system resources to eke out every drop of performance for Apex Legends.

Look into game-specific optimization software like Nvidia Reflex for the highest FPS and lowest latency.

Follow these tips and you'll eliminate lag, stuttering and low FPS even on very weak PCs. Let me know if you have any other questions about boosting performance in Apex Legends!
