I just wanted to maybe spark a lil flame in the community here and get the devs looking into something like moving Apex legends off directX11 and moving it to vulkan API like rainbow 6 siege is doing. An API is the application programming interface and directX11 has been out since sometime in 2009 and came out with windows vista basically it’s old and is becoming less suitable every year as I’m sure they have realized. DirectX11 is hard on both the CPU and GPU or makes the task more intensive on one of those two components with the vulkan API it’s less stress on both components and simultaneously runs the task on both the CPU and GPU and improves performance greatly by having the task run off both instead of throttling one of those parts. Hopefully this makes sense and I hope that people can agree that if apex is to continue on the next gen consoles or the toaster PC’s then they need to change to vulkan and improve overall performance of the game and experience playing.
