1) Nvidia Control panel "optimizations" have been benchmarked and really doesn't do anything on a modern system/windows compared to default. Also, Low Latency mode is irrelevant if you use Nvidia Reflex. It just ignores whatever you've set in NVCP and overrides it. 2) Setup the video settings however you want, close the game, open video cfg, set csm_enabled to 0 and your preferred resolution, make the file read only and thats pretty much it. 3) Dxlevel95 pointless/outdated, -preload pointless/outdated, -fullscreen pointless its literally in your video config file and in-game setting, -high Apex runs on high priority by default so doesn't really matter and you can always double check that through Task Manager. 4)Warning for newbie users : replacing your settings.cfg with his will erase your current keybinds so beware, copy just the individual settings you're interested in. Peace out.

i have a 1060 6g with a i5 8600k. been playing apex for 5 years and have always changed/tweaked my video settings (esp nvcp) to squeeze out the most frames possible. I can get 130ish while not in a fight, but have always dropped hard to 90ish. my last major tweak was setting my display to 1707x960 using nvidia image scaling (i have a 2k monitor so im actually bottlenecked by it lol), and seems to be a lot more stable while capped at 112 fps. However, with NIS in the picture now, im not sure what settings are best to tweak now. my main question now is everytime i edit my videoconfig and change nvcp settings according to videos like this one, i worry that they only apply to higher end systems that push max frames with ease, and not be the best for lower end systems. I play on low everything and a lower res and still am not completely stable frames wise. Might just be time to cap the game at 80 fps, but any feedback on that or tips on specific settings in nvcp/config that affect it the most would be appreciated. (sorry for the essay if anyone read this)
the 1060 6GB is definitely hurting you for Apex, especially on a 1440p monitor. It may help to have the monitors native resolution at 1080p as opposed to 1440, but apex is really intense in terms of CPU/GPU usage. changing the priority in task manager may help as well, but if you want to get every last drop of performance, you may benefit from getting the PC optimized as a whole
@@f0rbi forsure man, my thing is ima use it till it dies bc I can’t really throw in a new gpu or CPU without a new mobo as well. And might as well build a new system at that point lol. However, I had some more things to tweak with your videoconfig, along with turning monitor technology to fixed refresh instead of gysnc. I did that and capped at 108 and it’s been noticeably better.

does ping mess with input delay a lot? i upgraded to the 1gbps plan but there something wrong and spectrum is getting errors from my modem i play keyboard now and I've spent a good 20 to 25 hours in firing range trying to get neo strafing down and just crazy movement that xylas and leamonhead has. but i could only do a neo strafe like 3 times in a row and would lose all momentum or just trying to keep momentum going while tap strafe bunny hoping but just couldn't. my ping on Fortnite like 2 to 3 weeks ago was 25 to 27 and there was like no input delay it was amazing i could edit so damn fast and the game was so responsive what i always wanted i ended up returning the equipment i had to get new ones thinking maybe i messed it up when trying to activate it. after getting new equipment i literally can't play Fortnite anymore i logged on it was at 30 ping so i was like weird but okay then i logged on like a week later i was at 50 ping. then a week later i was at 60 then a week later it shot up to 90. and the input delay is horrible. like ill hit my edit and it won't happen for like a second so i haven't touched it in days, on apex its weird af ill open the game ill end up in the firing range and my ping says 35 and will go up to like 44 at the highest but my game will crash in thr firing range ive had that issue for months and still don't know why but when i hop back on and go into firing range my ping will be at 70 to 80 and it goes back and forth ill restart and it will be at 40 then restart it will be at 70. playing in firing range with mouse and keyboard is fine but whenever i get into a real game my mouse like doesn't respond sometimes I'll try to turn but it won't. it's like I'm not even swiping my mouse so ill try to turn it will turn a little and stop. or it will feel like my Sens is negative 1. i downloaded a app yesterday called exit lag. and now my ping is always at 50 in firing range and game every time. and i found my movement feels so damn nice i can keep neo strafing or keep my momentum way more now it's like what I'm clicking is actually happening. and in game it hasn't done the stopping thing or anything and seems to play fine so im assuming it was input delay that was causing me not to be able to neo strafe or play in game because it wasn't processing fast enough.
@@vatoz9694 i swear to god i just don't get what is happening with my game it has to be my input delay or something sometimes my tap strafe barley work and other times its crazy how good it works. lately my tap strafing has been horrible i literally can't do 180 tap strafes on octanes jump pad anymore i hold the input and jump and tap strafe and it doesn't throw me in the direction like it does for everyone else i just stop in midair or keep going forward i can't chain 180 tap strafes idk if the pads are bugged but i can't do it on the pads. same with how people super glide to the side then tap strafe to the other side how it like sling shots them to that spot i can't do that. i lose all moment and just stop i don't get sling shotted. something is wrong with my pc or game,
Awesome settings guide love it. One thing i noticed is that you have -novid and -dev this to fills the same function so you can remove one of them. I did remove one of them and it felt better less input delay. I don't know for sure if running double command interfere with one another but try it out if you want to :)
hello ! thanks for the settings, can I use your files even if I have an old machine? If I may ask, do you have any ideas about textures moving, appearing/disappearing depending on where I stand/move?

autoexec is a “config” that launches with the game to set certain settings within the game. in my case, it’s used to increase FPS and a little bit of visibility the videoconfig is pretty much your video settings in-game, but there’s a few tweaks you can make in there. usually not super important though
@@f0rbi So for better FPS and performance the autoexec is preferred? Because it shares some commands with the videoconfig, so I am a bit confused. Which one overrides?
How do you hipfire so good you shoot 20 or so bullets. I heard that if you shoot a bullet or 2 then ads then go back to hipfire and repeat that method then your hipfire will be almost pinpoint but you only hipfire for basically a whole magazine and every bullet hits the target how?

Am i doing something wrong because the only way my sens gets any faster with a 0.70 sens is with 10k+ dpi which is insane. Can anyone help me?
