Brand new PC 3070 GPU. I have 3 monitors. When playing Apex Legends all screens will go black from 1-5 seconds and come back on. I can continue playing most of the time. One time screens stayed black and I had to reset my computer.

#

I have clips I can share, but the bot doesnt want me posting them

Are you using DP

past wraith Nov 22, 2022, 5:35 AM

#

yes 2 ports are dp and 1 is hdmi

tidal bane Nov 22, 2022, 5:35 AM

#

Might be a bad cable

past wraith Nov 22, 2022, 5:35 AM

#

all monitor cables are plugged into the gpu

tidal bane Nov 22, 2022, 5:35 AM

#

Or could be a PS problem

#

#

What are your specs

#

Or how old is your PS?

past wraith Nov 22, 2022, 5:38 AM

#

all new parts

tidal bane Nov 22, 2022, 5:39 AM

#

Then it might just be the monitors are they new?

past wraith Nov 22, 2022, 5:39 AM

#

yes everything is new

tidal bane Nov 22, 2022, 5:39 AM

#

or the DP cables are bad

past wraith Nov 22, 2022, 5:39 AM

#

and it only does it for apex

#

not any other game I play

tidal bane Nov 22, 2022, 5:39 AM

#

Hmm if they are all new that’s weird

#

Oh then it’s apex

#

I would check your setting in apex you might be playing on like ultra settings

#

IMO apex is a shit game anyway I would stop playing it

#

Lmao Joel’s

#

how can the game settings effect my hardware though?

tidal bane Nov 22, 2022, 5:40 AM

#

Your probably playing on super high settings

#

They make it way too hard to run

#

Playing on way too good of graphics will do that I would turn them down

#

Or make sure your playing on full screen in the in game settings

#

That’s all I can help you with

#

ok thank you

#

Are you playing apex on steam or origin?

past wraith Nov 22, 2022, 5:45 AM

#

steam

tidal bane Nov 22, 2022, 5:45 AM

#

Ok

#

I would uninstall and reinstall

#

Then I would check your in game settings in the game and make sure the graphics are all fine and the display

#

You should be on all low graphic on apex anyway

Ok I will watch a YT for best streaming settings to minimize this kind of issue and if it still happens Ill post again
