Cap the game's FPS to reduce CPU load. An uncapped frame rate can push your system to its limits, causing high CPU usage. Limiting the FPS in the game settings or through a third-party tool can make a huge difference. Worked like a charm for me!
Experiencing 100% CPU usage with Apex Legends? Start by checking if your PC meets the game's minimum requirements. If you're good on that front, try updating your graphics drivers - outdated drivers are often culprits. Also, setting the game to high priority in Task Manager can give it the resources it needs without hogging the CPU. Lastly, consider lowering the game's graphic settings. Sometimes, the eye candy is not worth the lag!
Limit background processes. Apex might be fighting for resources with other programs. Close unnecessary apps or use a game booster app. Keep your gaming sessions smooth and your CPU happy.
