Does Apex Legends support DirectX 12?
Nope, Apex Legends doesn't support DirectX 12. It runs on the Source engine which mainly supports up to DirectX 11. So, if you're looking to boost performance, you might want to tweak other settings instead of holding out for DX12 compatibility.

Nah, Apex Legends sticks with DirectX 11. It's all about that smooth gameplay without needing the latest DirectX support. Honestly, it runs pretty great without 12, so no biggie there.
DirectX 12 with Apex Legends? Nah, that's a no-go. Game's still a blast without it though!
