Best Apex Legends settings for the NVIDIA GT 730 (2GB) (2026)

On a NVIDIA GT 730 (2GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Apex Legends runs at roughly 10 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 6FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA GT 730 (2GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 2GB of VRAM, and Apex Legends is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it is a real challenge at 1080p — about 10 FPS with FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.

Across resolutions you can expect around 10 FPS at 1080p and 6 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 4 FPS at 4K. Apex Legends doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

Recommended settings
Sun Shadow DetailLow+10% FPS
The main shadow setting and a real GPU cost — Low/Medium is the standard competitive pick.
Anti-AliasingNone+6% FPS
TSAA smooths edges cheaply. Some competitive players run None for maximum clarity and a few extra frames.
Spot Shadow DetailDisabled+6% FPS
Extra dynamic shadows. Disabling is a common FPS boost with little gameplay downside.
Volumetric LightingDisabled+5% FPS
God-rays and light shafts. Disabling gains frames in smoky, lit areas.
Ambient Occlusion QualityDisabled+5% FPS
Soft contact shadows. Cheap to lower; many pros disable it.
Sun Shadow CoverageLow+5% FPS
How wide an area gets sun shadows. Low is a common competitive saving.
Model DetailLow+4% FPS
Character and weapon geometry detail. Modest cost; High looks best, Medium for frames.
Effects DetailLow+4% FPS
Explosions and ability effects. Lowering smooths chaotic final rings.
Dynamic Spot ShadowsDisabled+4% FPS
Moving shadows from spot lights. Disabling frees a few frames indoors.
RagdollsLow+2% FPS
Death-body physics detail. Nearly free; set to taste.
Texture Streaming BudgetInsane-1% FPS
Texture sharpness, tied directly to your VRAM. "Insane" needs 8GB+ — match it to your card to avoid stutter.
Texture Filtering16xbaseline
Keeps surfaces sharp at angles — effectively free, use 16x.
