Best Apex Legends settings for the NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (2026)

On a NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop)-class CPU), Apex Legends runs at roughly 146 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 148FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.

The NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super is a mainstream 1080p graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Apex Legends is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with the Intel Core i5-13500H (laptop), it flies at 1080p — about 146 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 146 FPS at 1080p and 88 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 61 FPS at 4K. Apex Legends doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings below.

Recommended settings
Texture Streaming BudgetInsane-1% FPS
Texture sharpness, tied directly to your VRAM. "Insane" needs 8GB+ — match it to your card to avoid stutter.
Anti-AliasingTSAAbaseline
TSAA smooths edges cheaply. Some competitive players run None for maximum clarity and a few extra frames.
Sun Shadow DetailHighbaseline
The main shadow setting and a real GPU cost — Low/Medium is the standard competitive pick.
Spot Shadow DetailHighbaseline
Extra dynamic shadows. Disabling is a common FPS boost with little gameplay downside.
Volumetric LightingEnabledbaseline
God-rays and light shafts. Disabling gains frames in smoky, lit areas.
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.
Effects DetailHighbaseline
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.
Dynamic Spot ShadowsEnabledbaseline
Moving shadows from spot lights. Disabling frees a few frames indoors.
RagdollsHighbaseline
Death-body physics detail. Nearly free; set to taste.
