About Apex Legends on PC

Apex Legends is comfortable early and difficult late. The final circles, with several squads fighting in a small area and every ability firing at once, are where frame rates fall — and that drop is mostly the CPU rather than the graphics card.

Competitive players usually run low settings not for frames alone but for clarity: fewer particles and less foliage detail makes enemy movement easier to track through a fight.

Covers live matches with full lobbies. End-game circles with many players are the reference workload.
