Recommended Apex Legends Video Settings for PC
Source-checked About 10 minutes
Answer
EA's current Apex Legends PC guide provides video-settings starting points for visibility and performance. Use monitor-default resolution, tune FOV for visibility, and lower only the graphics options that affect your measured FPS instead of copying an unverified low-end preset.
Show the performance data first
In Apex Legends, open Settings, select Gameplay, and turn on Performance Display. It shows FPS, latency, and packet loss, giving you a baseline before changing the Video tab.
Open Settings and select Video
Open Apex Legends Settings, then select Video. Keep the game in a reproducible location such as the Firing Range while you test changes.
Use the display starting points
Set Display Mode to Full Screen for one monitor or Windowed for more than one monitor. Set Aspect Ratio and Resolution to the monitor default, as EA recommends.
Choose visibility settings deliberately
Increase Brightness slightly only if it improves visibility, set FOV in the 90–110 starting range, and use minimal Sprint View Shake or the value that feels comfortable to you.
Apply EA's advanced video baseline
For a performance-focused starting point, EA lists Anti-aliasing as None, Texture Filtering as Bilinear, and Texture Streaming Budget as Low or Medium. It also lists low or disabled values for the expensive shadow and lighting effects.
Use conditional settings only for their symptom
Keep V-Sync disabled unless you see screen tearing. Enable Nvidia Reflex only with an Nvidia GPU, and use Adaptive Resolution FPS Target only when frequent FPS drops make it necessary.
Test and retain the useful changes
Play or use the Firing Range with Performance Display on. Compare image clarity and FPS, then keep the combination that works on this PC rather than treating a guide value as a competitive guarantee.
Video walkthrough
If it does not work
- If Texture Streaming Budget produces missing detail or unstable visuals, move from Low to Medium and retest before changing unrelated Windows settings or game files.
- If you use multiple monitors and see display problems, compare Windowed and Full Screen one at a time. The correct choice depends on the monitor setup, not only on the PC's age.
