Apex Legends benchmark on RX Vega 56: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Apex Legends FPS with a RX Vega 56 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 43FPS min 38Acceptable | 27FPS min 24Poor | 11FPS min 10Unplayable |
| High | 55FPS min 48Acceptable | 36FPS min 32Acceptable | 14FPS min 13Unplayable |
| Medium | 73FPS min 64Good | 46FPS min 41Acceptable | 18FPS min 16Poor |
| Low | 94FPS min 83Good | 60FPS min 53Good | 23FPS min 21Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 32% | GPU 56% | GPU 83% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX Vega 56. There is 10% 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 Vega 56 with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 43 | 54 | 62 |
| 1440p | 27 | 36 | 45 |
| 4K | 11 | 16 | 20 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX Vega 56 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the RX Vega 56 is what caps the frame rate in Apex Legends. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the RX Vega 56 Enough for Apex Legends?
The RX Vega 56 delivers 43 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Apex Legends. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 27 FPS and at 4K 11 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
