The Steam Deck (RDNA2 iGPU) is a handheld card with 4GB of VRAM, and Apex Legends is a lightweight, high-frame-rate esports title. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU it averages about 62 FPS at 1080p with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 48 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 48 | 62 |
| 1440p | 29 | 47 |
| 4K | 16 | 27 |
At 1080p expect around 62 FPS, at 1440p about 47 FPS, and at 4K roughly 27 FPS with optimized settings. Apex Legends doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
