Can My RTX 4070 Super Run Apex Legends? FPS Estimate & System Requirements (2026)

Estimated RTX 4070 Super FPS for Apex Legends at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, plus the GPU tier you need for 60 FPS.

Last updated 2026-09-09 · evergreen reference

Wondering "can my RTX 4070 Super run Apex Legends?" Our estimate puts it at roughly 205 FPS at 1080p, 135 FPS at 1440p and 78 FPS at 4K. The settings that tax Apex Legends most are texture-streaming budget, shadow detail and model detail. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.

Estimated RTX 4070 Super FPS for Apex Legends

Frame-rate estimate by resolution. "Estimate" means modeled, not measured.

Bottom line

The RTX 4070 Super is comfortably over-spec for Apex Legends. It pushes roughly 78 FPS at 4K Ultra and 205 FPS at 1080p — so your limit is the monitor's refresh rate, not the card. This pairing will outlast the game's lifetime on current settings. Note that Apex Legends is CPU-bound at high frame rates, so on a RTX 4070 Super the processor — not the GPU — decides how high your average FPS actually climbs.

Verdict for the RTX 4070 Super + Apex Legends pairing

What to expect and where to aim.

Best target resolution

On a RTX 4070 Super, aim for 4K (UHD) in Apex Legends. The RTX 4070 Super is comfortably over-spec for Apex Legends. It pushes roughly 78 FPS at 4K Ultra and 205 FPS at 1080p — so your limit is the monitor's refresh rate, not the card. This pairing will outlast the game's lifetime on current settings. Note that Apex Legends is CPU-bound at high frame rates, so on a RTX 4070 Super the processor — not the GPU — decides how high your average FPS actually climbs.

Settings to hit 60 FPS on your RTX 4070 Super

A starting point tuned to this exact pairing; adjust to taste.

CPU, not your RTX 4070 Super, is the limit

Unlike most titles, Apex Legends leans on the processor more than the RTX 4070 Super. At 1080p you can already be CPU-limited, so a faster RTX 4070 Super gives diminishing returns — spend the budget on a stronger CPU or faster RAM. The RTX 4070 Super has more than enough pixel-pushing power for Apex Legends.

You have headroom to spare

With ~205 FPS at 1080p, at 1080p competitive the CPU caps you; higher resolution is where the GPU earns its keep. You can also enable the game's quality upscaler for crisper 1440p without sacrificing smoothness.

Bottleneck analysis: RTX 4070 Super + Apex Legends

Why this pairing performs the way it does.

What actually bottlenecks Apex Legends on a RTX 4070 Super

The limiting factor for this specific pairing is your CPU. Apex Legends spends most of its frame budget on the processor (entity counts, physics, draw calls), so the RTX 4070 Super — a high-end card at relative index 68/100 — rarely reaches its own limit. Upgrading the CPU yields more FPS than upgrading the GPU here.

What GPU tier Apex Legends needs

For ~60 FPS targets, based on its demand tier.

How this estimate is calculated

Full transparency on the model.

Method

Apex Legends is assigned a hardware-demand tier 3/9 from its published requirements (or release era + genre). Each GPU has a relative-performance index (RTX 4090 = 100, source TechPowerUp). FPS ≈ 60 × (GPU index ÷ required index)^0.85, then scaled ×0.66 for 1440p and ×0.38 for 4K. FPS figures are editorial estimates from a transparent demand-tier model (TechPowerUp relative-performance indices, retrieved 2026-08-29), not benchmarks. Verify with your own hardware.
