Sorry Gibraltar, but we can’t have your beautiful eyes mess with our performance! If you set the model detail to Low you’ll get about a 5% increase in performance. To put it simply, this setting is pretty useless. Also, I doubt you’re going to stop fighting so you can look deeply into Gibraltar’s eyes and marvel at how beautiful and mesmerizing they are. Since this is a FPS, you’re not really going to see much of your character. Model Detail: This setting determines the amount of detail that can be seen in the character models. This is one of the biggest changes you can make to increase your performance, so definitely make sure to do this! Setting ambient occlusion to None will net you a nice 15% performance boost. While crisp shadows look nice, it requires a lot out of your computer to process them. Turn off Ambient Occlusion: Ambient occlusion is the quality of shadows that can be seen in the game. If your framerate doesn’t suffer then you won’t suffer.
Turn this off and your framerate won’t suffer. While this might make the game look better, it affects the framerate, which may cause delays when your fighting 3 squads at once. V-sync synchronizes the frame rate of the game with the refresh rate of the monitor. Turn off V-Sync: This can be an easy thing to overlook because most people don’t know what it actually is.
I recommend full screen so you have the greatest viewing space possible. Maximize your Display Settings: You can adjust your display settings to adjust the size of in-game window. This can be done through your computer settings or the in-game settings. If you lower the resolution on your monitor, that will give you a little bit of a boost since the computer is displaying less information on your screen. Nowadays, most monitors display a standard resolution of 1920 x 1080. Resolution: Resolution is the amount of pixels that are displayed on your screen.
If you have an SSD, definitely install the game on there so you can get into matches quicker and don’t have to worry about delays. This means it can store and process information a lot faster than a hard drive can. Unlike traditional hard drives, SSD’s use flash memory to store information. If you haven’t already, install Apex Legends on your SSD (Solid State Drive). Install Apex Legends on a SSD: Before we jump into the settings, first thing’s first. Love Apex Legends, but are looking for ways to give yourself an edge in the competition to become Champion? Check out these settings to get the boost you’re looking for!
