Apex Legends on Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB
Yes. The Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB meets Apex Legends's recommended spec. We estimate ~68 fps at 1080p high (range 54–81, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the medium preset (~47 fps on high). Its 4 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 | 115 | 80 | 48 |
| medium | 88 | 61 | 37 |
| high | 68 | 47 | 28 |
| ultra | 54 | 38 | 23 |
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: high preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: medium preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
AMD card: use FSR in quality mode before dropping the preset (XeSS also works). DLSS is not available on Radeon.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB back.
- Processor needed for ~68 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, ~68 fps.
Video memory
- Radeon RX 5500 XT 4GB: 4 GB
- Minimum spec: 2 GB (+2 GB headroom)
