The Nvidia RTX 3080 and 3080 Ti are some powerful cards for playing competitive titles like Apex Legends. These GPUs were launched for 4K gaming at smooth framerates in the last generation. Although they have been replaced by the much more capable RTX 4080 family, the Ampere-based video cards continue to be capable of playing the most popular games at sky-high framerates.

Given Apex Legends is a hardcore competitive title, players need to ensure a good FPS paired with decent video quality to perform best. It is recommended to spend some time in the settings list to fine-tune the title.

The RTX 3080 10 and 12 GB are great cards for 4K gaming. However, we recommend sticking to 1440p in Apex Legends for a smooth experience. The game runs best with the High settings. This allows for great visual quality while maintaining the framerate.
