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

At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 301 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 280 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 160 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is 230% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 970) 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 RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 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: $1184. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 301 FPS, equivalent to 0.25 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1440p ultra, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER sets the ceiling at about 195 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 331 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 41% (FPS gap: 136 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 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 8% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 16% | GPU Limits CPU 19% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 29% | GPU Limits CPU 33% | GPU Limits CPU 39% | GPU Limits CPU 41% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 32% | GPU Limits CPU 34% | GPU Limits CPU 36% | GPU Limits CPU 39% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER can run Apex Legends smoothly up to 4k achieving around 160 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 230% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 278% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1184 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $800 GPU (Rank #63 Value)). Your GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER provides phenomenal top-tier performance but at a premium enthusiast price. Since you are essentially at the ceiling of current hardware capabilities, there are no meaningful performance upgrades available. However, if you wanted a more cost-effective build that still delivers a great experience, you could theoretically step down to a high-end card with a significantly better value rating. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 5090 for around $1999 (Rank #80 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
Your GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Apex Legends performance right now. GPU fully utilized 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 currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game.
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 Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
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.
