Apex Legends benchmark on RX 6900 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Apex Legends FPS with a RX 6900 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 205FPS min 113Excellent | 167FPS min 101Excellent | 89FPS min 70Good |
| High | 267FPS min 147Excellent | 217FPS min 131Excellent | 116FPS min 92Good |
| Medium | 349FPS min 192Excellent | 284FPS min 171Excellent | 151FPS min 119Excellent |
| Low | 452FPS min 249Excellent | 368FPS min 222Excellent | 196FPS min 155Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 55% | CPU 46% | CPU 14% |
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 i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 6900 XT. There is 9% 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 6900 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 205 | 256 | 297 |
| 1440p | 167 | 225 | 276 |
| 4K | 89 | 129 | 165 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6900 XT does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
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 6900 XT 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.
Is the RX 6900 XT Enough for Apex Legends?
The RX 6900 XT delivers 205 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Apex Legends. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 167 FPS and at 4K 89 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably

RX 6900 XT or RTX 3080 12GB for Apex Legends?
In Apex Legends at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 205 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
