Ambient Occlusion NVIDIA Disables driver-level ambient occlusion. This provides the highest frame rates but leaves corners and crevices looking less realistic. None, already have configure this in-game, so turn this off Off Program settings
AMD Freesync AMD FPS synchronization Eliminates screen tearing without v-sync lag AMD Optimized / Enabled Game profile: Apex Legends
Anisotropic filtering mode AMD Let game decide this setting Improve GPU load and smoother gameplay Use application settings Game profile: Apex Legends
Anti-aliasing mode/method AMD Let game decide this setting This choice balances visual quality and performance well. Use application settings Game profile: Apex Legends
Anti-Lag+ AMD Improves latency Reduce input latency in fast gunfights Enabled Game profile: Apex Legends
Antialiasing - Mode NVIDIA Leaves edge smoothing entirely up to the games own graphics menu. None, already have configure this in-game, so turn this off Off Program settings
Enhanced Sync AMD Sets level of synchronization Can cause stutter or latency spikes if FPS exceeds refresh rate Disabled Game profile: Apex Legends
Low Latency Mode NVIDIA Automatic optimization through NVIDIA Reflex ON+Boost Both acceptable, just ensure not to use (Ultra) On/off Program settings
Morphological filtering AMD Automatically off due to Anti-aliasing choice Improve GPU load and smoother gameplay Disabled Game profile: Apex Legends
OpenGL triple buffering AMD Sets OpenGL buffering method Avoids input lag due to the buffering Off Game profile: Apex Legends
Power Management Mode NVIDIA Dictates how aggressively your graphics card drops its clock speeds to save power when it is not fully loaded. Forces the graphics card to maintain its highest possible 3D clock speeds whenever a game or 3D application is running, regardless of the actual rendering load. Prefer Maximum Performance Program settings
Radeon Boost AMD Enables/disables boost function For competitive clarity Disabled Game profile: Apex Legends
Radeon Chill AMD Limits FPS for energy saving Self-explanatory Disabled Game profile: Apex Legends
Shader Cache AMD Enable the shader cache Cut down stuttering and improve load times Enabled Game profile: Apex Legends
Shader Cache Size NVIDIA Controls the maximum amount of disk space the driver may use for storing shader compiles Apex Legends is heavily shader cache dependent, so to increase the limit available will reduce the load on the GPU Set to 10GB or higher to your preference Global settings
Surface Format Optimization AMD Sets optimization level for surfaces Smoother gameplay and performance Enabled Game profile: Apex Legends
Tessellation mode AMD Make sure to override this setting Boosts performance, even on lower end graphic cards Override application settings: maximum tessellation level OFF Game profile: Apex Legends
Texture Filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization NVIDIA Limits the number of texture samples used during anisotropic filtering based on the angle of the surface. Limits the number of samples on surfaces at specific angles where the visual difference is harder to notice. On Program settings
Texture Filtering - Quality NVIDIA Determines the overall balance between sharp, clear textures and gaming performance. Aggressively cuts down texture filtering accuracy to squeeze out the maximum possible frame rate. This causes a noticeable drop in visual quality, making textures look blurry, pixelated, or unstable while moving. High Performance Program settings
Texture Filtering - Trilinear optimization NVIDIA improves your gaming performance by allowing the graphics card to use simpler bilinear filtering on parts of a texture where the full, high-quality trilinear filtering is not necessary. This reduces the workload on your card and slightly increases your frame rate. This is the recommended default for most users. On Program settings
Texture Filtering Quality AMD Sets quality of textures Prioritizes performance over quality of textures Performance Game profile: Apex Legends
Threaded Optimization NVIDIA Loadbalances the GPU driver-pipeline over all cores Better load balance means better performances and less stutter On Program settings
Vertical Sync NVIDIA Synchronizes the frame rate (FPS) of your game with the refresh rate (Hz) of your monitor to prevent the screen from tearing Disables V-Sync completely. Your graphics card renders frames as fast as it can, minimizing input lag. This is best for fast-paced competitive games, but it causes horizontal lines across the screen called screen tearing. Off Program settings
Wait for Vertical Refresh AMD Holds input lag until threshold Prevents forced engine throttling/input lag Always off Game profile: Apex Legends
