Performance & what to expect

ApexShader is rated medium performance impact. It wants a mid-range dedicated GPU. Drop render distance a few chunks if you fall below 60 FPS. It renders atmosphere, bloom, colored lighting, foliage, path tracing, pbr and shadows. The look is realistic. Because it supports PBR, it looks its best with a matching texture set — browse our free resource packs for one with normal and specular maps.
