AMD’s Ryzen X3D CPUs are so powerful that they were causing physics-related stutters in Apex Legends. Thanks to their massive 3D V-Cache, these processors let the game run at extremely high frame rates, often well over 240 FPS and sometimes pushing toward the 300 FPS cap. Apex Legends uses a physics system built on a heavily modified Source engine that simply wasn’t designed to handle today’s ultra-fast modern CPUs. At those extreme speeds, physics calculations can stall the main thread during complex scenes, leading to noticeable stutters. Respawn Entertainment fixed the problem in the Season 29 “Overclocked” patch. They improved CPU performance on physics calculations, eliminating the stutters that were especially prominent on CPUs like the Ryzen X3D series
