Apex Legends on GeForce GTX 1080
Yes. The GeForce GTX 1080 is well above Apex Legends's recommended spec. We estimate ~113 fps at 1080p high (range 90–135, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~79 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. 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 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: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: medium 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 1080 back.
- Processor needed for ~113 fps: Ryzen 3 3100 or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU: CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 113.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1080: 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.
