Can it run
Apex Legends is a moderately demanding game on the graphics card: a used RTX 3080 (about $425 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 144+ fps at 1080p, and the RX 9070 XT (about $829 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 144+ fps at 1440p.

Smooth = 144+ fps · Playable = 60+ · Lower = 40+ · No = under 40. ~ = estimate; ! = less video memory than the game wants at that resolution. Native resolution, high or ultra settings, no upscaling. Estimates scale each card's 11-game average from the Tom's Hardware GPU hierarchy (June 2026) by how demanding Apex Legends is (formula).

Apex Legends is a moderately demanding game on the graphics card: a used RTX 3080 (about $425 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 144+ fps at 1080p, and the RX 9070 XT (about $829 today) is the cheapest card we track that gets 144+ fps at 1440p.
For 144+ fps at 1080p on high settings, about RTX 4070-level performance or faster (about 145 fps (estimate)).
About 6 GB at 1080p, 8 GB at 1440p and 12 GB at 4K on high textures. Cards with less can still run it with textures turned down.
Apex Legends is played at very high frame rates, where the processor sets the limit. The fps numbers here come from a Ryzen 7 9800X3D test PC; with an older or budget processor you'll see less, whatever the graphics card. For this game, aim for a Ryzen 5 7500F or faster.
