Original Post — Direct link

I hopped into a DM and notice my game runs like a YouTube 60fps. It's super smooth and it's so much easier to control recoil. I was dropping 5k in DM first time. I was able to read enemy's movement much clearer and beamed them.

I checked all my settings (gpu,video,monitor) and nothing has changed.

So I hop into few more games just to confirm it's not server issue and just to find out it's still incredibly smooth.

My monitor 180hz but I capped at 178fps ever since beginning in case you're wondering. Also I've been playing apex for many years but it wasn't as smooth as today. Now I have high expectation to have the game run this smooth every match else I will be really piss. I know for sure if I restart my pc it will be gone. :(

Does anyone feel the same today?

I'm not sure if they implemented it yet, but maybe you're on the DX12 since it seems to run better than DirectX 11 and they announced that it would be made the default version that is run for the game

you can check DX12 in the EA app or Steam - updated May 2024. https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/16mwzaz/dev_team_update_directx_12_rhi/

Hard to give any feedback on "smoothness." Could even be related to your own network/ISP behavior.

I could've sworn I read something more recent, maybe in patch notes that stated DX12 would be made the standard soon

Yes. Let me see if I can find out when that was/is. I'm not on the rendering team.
