Built on a modified Source engine, Apex Legends retains the scalability of Titanfall 2. Fast movement demands high frame rates for fluidity. VRAM can be a bottleneck if the 'Texture Streaming Budget' is set too high. While it handles 8GB of RAM better than some competitors, 16GB is recommended. It is generally less CPU-intensive than Warzone, allowing older quad-core CPUs to remain viable.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 300 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 8 to 23 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 7 to 14 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 4 to 8 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti is 22% below recommended, but 544% above minimum for Apex Legends. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 278% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-3570K).
Apex Legends supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce GTX 1650 Ti.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $461. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 8 FPS, equivalent to 0.02 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti sets the ceiling at about 7 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 332 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 98% (FPS gap: 325 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce GTX 1650 Ti is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 93% | GPU Limits CPU 94% | GPU Limits CPU 97% | GPU Limits CPU 98% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 96% | GPU Limits CPU 96% | GPU Limits CPU 97% | GPU Limits CPU 98% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 96% | GPU Limits CPU 97% | GPU Limits CPU 97% | GPU Limits CPU 98% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 1650 Ti will struggle to run Apex Legends at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 8 FPS which is classified as "struggling". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $461 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $77 GPU (Rank #35 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5060 for around $299 (Rank #2 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Apex Legends, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Apex Legends supports AFMF, but your GeForce GTX 1650 Ti is not compatible with these technologies. Frame Generation is typically available on newer GPUs like the RTX 40-series (DLSS 3) or modern AMD cards (FSR 3).
Apex Legends requires at minimum a Core i3-6300 (CPU) and GeForce GT 640 (GPU) with 6 GB RAM and 56 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-3570K and GeForce GTX 970 with 8 GB RAM. Your setup meets the minimum requirements but falls short of the recommended specs. You may need to lower some settings for smooth performance.
These Apex Legends FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
