Apex Legends on Radeon RX Vega 56

Well above recommendedEstimate · medium confidence, ±20%

Yes. The Radeon RX Vega 56 is well above Apex Legends's recommended spec. We estimate ~95 fps at 1080p high (range 76–114, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. For 60 fps at 1440p, use the high preset (~67 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.

Estimate · medium confidence, ±20%

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

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 Vega 56 back.
Processor needed for ~95 fps: Core i3-9100F 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 95.
