The AMD RX 6400 is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Apex Legends is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 61 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings, a clear jump from roughly 51 FPS with everything on High.

Across resolutions you can expect around 61 FPS at 1080p and 50 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 28 FPS at 4K. Apex Legends doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

Recommended settings
Anti-AliasingNone+6% FPS
TSAA smooths edges cheaply. Some competitive players run None for maximum clarity and a few extra frames.
Sun Shadow DetailMedium+5% FPS
The main shadow setting and a real GPU cost — Low/Medium is the standard competitive pick.
Volumetric LightingDisabled+5% FPS
God-rays and light shafts. Disabling gains frames in smoky, lit areas.
Spot Shadow DetailLow+3% FPS
Extra dynamic shadows. Disabling is a common FPS boost with little gameplay downside.
Texture Streaming BudgetInsane-1% FPS
Texture sharpness, tied directly to your VRAM. "Insane" needs 8GB+ — match it to your card to avoid stutter.
Ambient Occlusion QualityHighbaseline
Soft contact shadows. Cheap to lower; many pros disable it.
Model DetailHighbaseline
Character and weapon geometry detail. Modest cost; High looks best, Medium for frames.

Explosions and ability effects. Lowering smooths chaotic final rings.
Texture Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps surfaces sharp at angles — effectively free, use 16x.
Sun Shadow CoverageHighbaseline
How wide an area gets sun shadows. Low is a common competitive saving.
