    Then you have missed something in the setup because this setup will optimize games for max fps. Please confirm

    1. Your Laptop is set to High Performance in the Windows Power Plan
    2. You are gaming on 100% battery and plugged into AC power 
    3. You have imported your games to the Control Center and you are launching your games from the Control Center under the Gaming Tab

    Rx560x is too powerfull you will get 100+ fps in max apex legend settings i have Acer nitro 5 with same rx560x and Vega 8

    You getting low because may be your vega8 gpu is active when you launch apex you need to do is update/download latest amd radeon software 20.1.3 from amd site for rx560x( when you install your graphic card get updated and performance you get that expected) when installation complete restart system.after that  Right click on desktop Open the New AMD 2020 Control Center and click the GAMING tab then click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and select ADD A GAME, navigate to your games .exe file and double click it to add it, or you can select SCAN FOR GAMES and let the Control Center search your harddrive for games to add. After successfully adding the game click on the game and you will be taken to another window and click the LAUNCH GAME tab.
    Only in this way will your games use the Discrete Rx560x GPU, NEVER launch your game through a desktop shortcut or any other way, do it in the manner I have described.

    Play game while charging otherwise you get 50% performance of rx560x and set power plan in high performance in nitrosense software with coolboost on.

    Run through my GPU guide below 

    The new AMD Adrenalin 2020 Control Center is designed to give support for your hardware and contains Mobile Driver support for this exact model, the Graphics Drivers on the Acer site are only base drivers. If you haven't already downloaded and installed it then click the link below to download it. If you get a failure installing the new Control Center then download and run DDU https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html for a clean uninstall of your current AMD Center and Drivers then try to install again

    https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-20-1-3

    Most of the problems I have encountered answering questions similar to yours are that users do not have the GPU set up correctly in the Control Center and are gaming on their Dedicated Vega 8 GPU which gives poor performance and is not designed for gaming. I have your exact model and my gaming experience using the AMD 2020 Control Center is good, Follow these instructions

    First make sure you game with your battery charged to 100% BEFORE gaming and KEEP plugged into the main AC power while gaming. Make sure "High Performance when on AC", is selected in your Windows Power Plan and in Nitrosense. If you fail to do this your CPU will run at around 50% of capacity and you will experience poor game performance

    Open the New AMD 2020 Control Center and click the GAMING tab then click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and select ADD A GAME, navigate to your games .exe file and double click it to add it, or you can select SCAN FOR GAMES and let the Control Center search your harddrive for games to add. After successfully adding the game click on the game and you will be taken to another window and click the LAUNCH GAME tab.
    Only in this way will your games use the Discrete Rx560x GPU, NEVER launch your game through a desktop shortcut or any other way, do it in the manner I have described.

    Please remember that online gaming may experience low fps and stutter due to the games servers and bottlenecking and that has nothing to do with your GPU.

    hey i dont think acer nitro 5 1n515-43 ryzen 5 rx560x will able to give 100+fps in apex legends, the maximum it can give is 60fps in high settings.
    i m not ny kind of tweaker but i play this game on this laptop
