Apex Legends on GeForce GTX 1070
Yes. The GeForce GTX 1070 is well above Apex Legends's recommended spec. We estimate ~90 fps at 1080p high (range 72–108, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~63 fps on high). Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game requires at minimum. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 153 | 107 | 64 |
| medium | 117 | 82 | 49 |
| high | 90 | 63 | 38 |
| ultra | 72 | 50 | 30 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: high preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: low preset
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1070 back.
- Processor needed for ~90 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~90 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1070: 8 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+6 GB headroom)
Cheapest upgrade for each target
Slowest current desktop card (2020+) that reaches each target in Apex Legends; usually the cheapest.
