Here is a detailed guide on the system requirements for Apex Legends, ensuring you can enjoy the game with various levels of performance:

Minimum System Requirements

These specs are the bare minimum to run Apex Legends at a reduced quality and frame rate:

Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 10 64-bit

Processor: Intel Core i3-6300 3.8GHz or AMD FX-4350 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor

Memory: 6 GB RAM

Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 or AMD Radeon HD 7730

Graphics Card Memory: 1 GB

DirectX: Version 11

Storage: 56 GB available space

Internet: Broadband Internet connection

These settings will likely offer around 30 FPS at 900p to 1080p resolution, which might not be ideal for competitive play but allows entry-level gaming.

Recommended System Requirements

For a smoother gameplay experience with higher frame rates, these are the recommended specs:

Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit or Windows 10 64-bit

Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K or AMD Ryzen 5 CPU (or equivalent)

Memory: 8 GB RAM

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290

Graphics Card Memory: 4 GB

DirectX: Version 11

Storage: 56 GB available space (75 GB for download size with additional space for updates and languages)

Internet: Broadband Internet connection

These specifications should allow for gameplay at 60 FPS on medium to high settings at 1080p, providing a competitive edge with smoother gameplay.

High-End System Requirements

If you're aiming for top-tier performance with 4K resolution or higher frame rates:

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or better

Memory: 16 GB RAM or more

Graphics: NVIDIA RTX 2080 or AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or better

Graphics Card Memory: 8 GB or higher

DirectX: Version 12

Storage: SSD with at least 75 GB available space (to maximize loading times and performance)

This setup could enable gameplay at 4K resolution with high graphical settings, maintaining high FPS for an immersive experience.

Optimizing Performance

Graphics Settings: Adjust settings like Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, and Anti-Aliasing to find a balance between performance and visual quality. Lowering these can significantly improve FPS on lower-end systems.

Install on SSD: For faster load times and potentially smoother gameplay, install Apex Legends on an SSD.

Driver Updates: Keep your graphics drivers up to date to ensure optimal performance.

Network: A stable, high-speed internet connection reduces latency, which is crucial for online gaming.

Monitor Refresh Rate: A higher refresh rate monitor (like 144Hz or 240Hz) can benefit from higher FPS settings.

Notes

System Reqs Updates: Requirements might change with new seasons or updates, so it's good to check official sources or forums occasionally for any updates.

Cross-Platform Play: Apex Legends supports cross-play between PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, but performance on each platform can vary based on hardware capabilities. See also: Crossplay Guide to Apex Legends

Note: Remember, even if your system doesn't meet these requirements exactly, you might still be able to play, albeit at lower settings or with performance compromises. If you're unsure, online tools can automatically check if your PC meets the game's needs.
