Apex Legends is a very hardware intensive game but it does not mean that you won’t be able to get a decent gameplay experience out of it. Even if your hardware barely meets the system requirements, you can tweak things around and optimize the settings to your advantage. Here is a quick rundown of all the best Apex Legends settings for low end PCs that will offer you the most frames per second on any system.

The first thing you need to do is tweak your display settings, to ensure you get the most performance out of your system. The resolution that has “native” mentioned next to it in your resolution option should be what you choose. It could be 1366x768 if you have a budget laptop or 1920x1080 on most standard PCs. If Nvidia Reflex is available to you, it is recommended to keep it on Enabled+Boost.
