I mean for most games your system is really at it's max performance, upgrading GPU wont help, as the CPU is 8 years old.

Fortnight is heavy on CPU dont know about Apex.

If the CPU is constantly pegging close to 100% or the GPU seems to be struggling to maintain close to 100% usage, then yes, it's a sign the GPU is being bottlenecked.

modern games require modern hardware, you can open task manager and see if your CPU is at 100% usage which will tell you if your graphics card is being bottlenecked.

Its going 10 sec to around 70 and then just drops down to 10 voor 3/5 seconds and then its up again.

That's pretty massive bottlenecking. My Pentium G3258 did the exact same shit when I had it with a GTX 970 (damn newegg taking one week to ship my gpu and two to ship my E3-1231v3 I upgraded from the Pentium with).

But hoe can i fix it? Do i need to buy a lower gpu or do i have to upgrade my cpu and ram?

Yes, those are your two options.

Technically, but it's not going to help a whole lot

On second thought something seems seriously wrong with your system based on these results for FX series cpus in Apex Legends from Gamegpu.ru (scroll around 2/3 of the way down the page)
