[FPS Benchmarks] Apex Legends on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (90W and 115W) – the bigger video cards is 15% faster on average
Battle royal games are getting more popular over time. Apex Legends is one good example of a decent game that belongs to this genre and at the same time, it’s also free-to-play. The game is created with the aid of Valve’s Source engine. The end result is not bad at all, the visuals are up to date but on the other hand, this title isn’t light as some other Source-based games like CS:GO for example.
However, like every other battle royal game, this one offers a large map for exploration as soon as you land on the ground and perhaps that’s why the game isn’t that light. If you want to reach 144 Hz on Ultra details, your device must be a powerful machine.
Okay, let’s not waste more time, and let’s see how many frames per second the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (90W) and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (115W) can show.
