A NVIDIA RTX 5070 paired with a Intel Core i5-12400F lands around 188 fps in Apex Legends at 1080p with High textures, Medium shadows and no upscaling. Ray tracing is left off on this pairing. These values come from the same model the interactive optimizer uses, applied to this exact hardware pair rather than a generic preset.

Your CPU is limiting FPS here
Intel Core i5-12400F is holding back your NVIDIA RTX 5070 at 1080p in Apex Legends. A faster CPU could get you closer to ~226 fps at these settings.
Estimate only — based on a 20% uplift for a moderate CPU bottleneck, not a measured benchmark.

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.
