For High-end Performance in Apex Legends

Players who aim to get nothing less than high-end performance and get the best experience can achieve gameplay at 144fps with graphic cards like Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. Graphic cards such as GTX 1050 Ti easily elevate framerates and lessen any hardware-related latency so that gamers have a better responsive gaming experience on their hands.

However, if gamers are looking to maximize the frame rate, then can remove the FPS cap that is capped at 144fps by default and change that from the Game Properties. While this helps, gamers can also experiment and optimize the in-game settings to see what works best for their playing style.
