Intel Arc A580 vs Console performance in Apex Legends

Important Notes on Console FPS Display

On this page, the console modes are mapped in the graphs as follows: 'Performance' = LOW, and 'Balanced' = MED (and is unavailable on the Switch and last-gen consoles). Please note that the Performance mode on consoles prioritizes maximum 120 FPS competitive responsiveness, which results in a reduction in rendering resolution and visual fidelity. Additionally, while the graphical fidelity between the PC and console versions is not strictly identical, they are compared here as equivalent quality levels.
