Hi Respawn/EA,

I'm not sure if you are aware or not, but Resizable Bar (or AMD's SAM) causes a 10% FPS decrease on Apex Legends at 1080p. 

At 1440p it loses 7%. 

Any chance you guys could fix this? This feature is suppose to give around 3-20% increase in FPS depending on the game. There is a chance you guys could take advantage of this feature and boost FPS. 

The video show the tests  (well known youtuber) - Hardware Unbox: AMD's Killer Feature? SAM, 36 Game Benchmark [1080, 1440p & 4K] - YouTube

I've also taken a screen shot so you can see!
