DirectX 12 didn't work for me. I also checked the SettingsDX12.json file ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Apex Legends\EasyAntiCheat\Launcher\SettingsDX12.json") and saw that it said:

And now DX12 works with -eac_launcher_settings SettingsDX12.json

I've never modified that file so I guess it's a mistake on the part of the developers.
