How to reduce GPU usage in Apex Legends
Just cap your FPS, dude. It's the easiest way to not overwork your GPU. Plus, who needs more than 60 FPS anyway if you're not in the pro league?

Lowering the in-game graphic settings is the quickest way to reduce GPU usage. Try turning down settings like texture quality, shadows, and effects. Also, consider lowering the resolution or setting a FPS cap in the game settings. This can significantly decrease the load on your GPU, making for a smoother gameplay experience without the graphical bells and whistles!
I played around with the settings a lot and found that turning off ambient occlusion and anti-aliasing made a huge difference in cutting down GPU usage without sacrificing too much on the looks. Also, keep your drivers up to date! Sometimes, driver updates are optimized for these exact things.
If you're looking to slash that GPU usage, another nifty trick is to switch the game to Full Screen (not windowed or borderless) mode. It gives your game direct control over the display, which often results in better performance and lower GPU strain.
