| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 10 | 16 |
| 1440p | 6 | 9 |
| 4K | 3 | 5 |
At 1080p expect around 16 FPS, at 1440p about 9 FPS, and at 4K roughly 5 FPS with optimized settings. Apex Legends doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
