As I mentioned in the German forum, vsync workes with some settings in the Nvidia Profile Inspector.
1. "Creat new profile", name it Apex Legends DX12
2. "Add application to current profile", locate the r5apex_dx12.exe (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Apex)
3. Turn Vsync on
Here it should now also be possible to enable Gsync, but I have not tested this yet.
#Addendum
Gsync works when set as in the following image:
My latest tests have shown that DX12 works perfectly with RTSS as it is now!
Regarding this, I have written a good tutorial here:

Hi, just wanna give some feedback after some hours on DX12 Version on the game, there are my specs :
3070 SUPRIM
10700KF + AIO
1000W PLATINUM PSU
All is updated to this day (drivers)
I play 1440p full low / EXCEPT BUDGET STREAMING TO MAX 8GB AND MODEL DETAIL ULTRA/
VSYNC DOUBLE BUFFERING/ REFLEX ULTRA + BOOST
/NO OC / NO THROTTLING
Now i can tell i have more fps with DX12 version of apex, but in ship i have this issue :
- like a 70 fps lock, suddenly disapear and come back to 144.
Now on the ground i have 0 issue so far , except this one :
- Fps drop more than before with gaz, smoke, catalyst abilities, more stutters when it appears too.
Normally on DX11 i have some drops too with gaz and sometimes banga smoke, wich is bad for my Pretty big spec for full low, but DX12 make it worse in this case, but generally out of that i got better overall performances.
You May take a look at FPS 1% LOW too, i think its less stable on DX12 too but not sure, we need more data and just not only mine. 1% low result un frametime issues sometimes, less smooth or stutter even with high fps.
After theses 2 BIG issues i didnt noticed something wong by my side.
And if you read me please add dlss or FSR if its possible, even in 1 year its still okay because fps drop sometimes in DX11 too with gaz ,smoke, catalyst, and in full low with my spec its very very sad.
Thanks team for the great job on the game !

I'm running a very high-end, optimized PC:
13900K 5.8 GHz all-p-cores , 0 AVX offset, 4.6GHz all-e-cores, 5.2GHz ring
RTX 4090 FE 133% power target, +75 core, +500 mem
32 GB DDR5 7400 MHz 34-45-45-28 & other tight subtimings
Biggest issue thus far is that even with this PC, there's intermittent stutter that will hopefully get resolved with maturity.
I haven't really had any other issues thus far.... well except for the fact that the game is literally unplayable since about a week (likely EAC related):

Hi,
Apex is the only game I play so I wanted to give some feedback on DX12 beta. Additionally, it looks like all Intel Arc GPU users are experiencing the same exact issues (do CTRL+F "arc" in this thread or see this thread). Intel support has mentioned that these issues are with Apex and not with their drivers.
My specs (laptop):
Issues:
Resolving the 1fps menu/lobby issue alone would be a huge win for all Intel Arc GPU users. Please prioritize this fix if you can! Thank you!

My "experience":
Radeon RX 7900 XTX, on Driver 23.1.1
To be fair here this happened after couple of hours of play.

It looks like DX12 is absolutely unusable right now, my game crashes every time. Too bad, before that it really worked wonderfully.
It just crashed with this error message:

There is an issue with textures on AMD card. I posted here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/DX12-Shiny-very-bright-textures-in-some-areas/m-p/12525886#M99...
