What are you running it on? I haven't touched Apex in a while but last time I tried on Linux it was playable (this was probably on my Intel Arc A770). I've played BeamNG on my Steam Deck (AMD GPU) and it runs decently too.

I am using a gtx 1650 gpu with a i3 12100f cpu (beamng tested on regular fedora and apex on both fedora and cachyos) beamng and apex runs better on windows

Yeah, NVIDIA will do that to you. That still sounds too low though, are you using the NVIDIA proprietary drivers? I'm not sure Fedora ships NVK yet as it is rather new, I think became mostly usable around Mesa 24.0 earlier this year.

am using their proprietary drivers but now i distrohopped to cachyos due to their optimized kernel i also wanted to use nobara to but yeah secure boot (i think its better to keep it on) and i want the aur to install packages that arent in arch its useful

For what it's worth, s22 in apex seems to have reintroduced an issue with server side connectivity problems that can manifest as acute hitching when close to a large number of other players. You should be able to spot the network icon under these scenarios but it's not always presented in time.

If you're talking about overall input responsiveness, I've found that VRR on Fedora + GNOME + Wayland has made a world of difference

Doesn't kde also support vrr

It does and has done for quite a while now on Wayland. GNOME Presently has experimental support for it but it works well enough in my testing.
