Apex Legends benchmark on RX 5700: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Apex Legends FPS with a RX 5700 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 73FPS min 57Good | 55FPS min 48Acceptable | 25FPS min 22Poor |
| High | 94FPS min 74Good | 71FPS min 62Good | 33FPS min 29Acceptable |
| Medium | 124FPS min 97Excellent | 93FPS min 81Good | 43FPS min 38Acceptable |
| Low | 160FPS min 125Excellent | 120FPS min 105Excellent | 55FPS min 49Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 15% | GPU 13% | GPU 60% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 5700. There is 26% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Apex Legends at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX 5700 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 73 | 91 | 106 |
| 1440p | 55 | 74 | 91 |
| 4K | 25 | 36 | 46 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5700 has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RX 5700 has headroom to spare in Apex Legends: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 5700 Enough for Apex Legends?
The RX 5700 delivers 73 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Apex Legends. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 55 FPS and at 4K 25 FPS at Ultra quality.

RX 5700 or RTX 5050 Laptop for Apex Legends?
In Apex Legends at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 73 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
