What causes Apex Legends to not use my GPU?

There are a handful of reasons why Apex Legends has a compatibility problem with your graphics card:

Your GPU drivers are out of date: Always make sure you download the latest drivers from your GPU manufacturer to stay up to date. The computer lacks RAM: Having too little RAM available can cause performance problems for video games. It’s important to increase virtual memory, in particular, to improve performance. Apex Legends hasn’t verified: Verifying game files can clear up corrupt game files; however, there have been reports of this function not working right on Steam. Computer configurations aren’t correctly set up: Your machine’s settings may not be conducive to Apex Legends causing the compatibility problem.

How can I address Apex Legends not using my graphics card?

We recommend trying the more simple solutions first:

The first thing that you should do is restart your computer. Rebooting is far and away the best fix to any software problem. It works the majority of the time. Update your computer’s drivers.

Too many pages can cause games to lag or not use the graphics card properly.
