Low FPS problem with Ryzen 5 5600X + RTX 3070

Hello.

I have Apex Legends low FPS problem with Ryzen 5 5600X + RTX 3070

I recently changed my CPU from a Ryzen5 3600 to a Ryzen5 5600X.
Since then my FPS has dropped from 165 to around 60~110.
The problem only occurs in Apex Legends, other games like VALORANT have stable FPS.
My PC configuration is below. Does anyone know the cause of the problem?(Uploaded dxdiag.txt.)

CPU:Ryzen5 5600X (4600MHz)
GPU:RTX 3070 (GPU clock 1770MHz, memory clock 7000MHz)
Memory:16GB (8GB*2 clock3200MHz)

CPU usage during the game is about 30~40%.
When I changed the CPU from Ryzen5 3600 to Ryzen5 5600X, I cleared the CMOS.
I also did a clean install of the GPU driver using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller).

Also, I have the latest version of the Nvidia Driver.

    Maybe my problem has been solved.
    Now, in any case, it always outputs 165 fps.

    The cause was the virtual memory setting in Windows.
    I am currently using 32GB of memory for a total of 4*8.

    With the help of this web site I disabled the virtual memory setting.

    Then, the problem of reduced fps was solved.

    Note: I heard that Apex Legends may crash with an error if you use the above settings from season 10.
    I've been playing for about 24 hours now with virtual memory disabled and have yet to see any errors.

    Thanks for Reply.

    I have done a reinstall of Apex.
    However, I have not reinstalled the Windows OS.

    In addition, I made some progress.
    I did the following and the FPS went up.
    Downclocked the memory clock from 3600MHz to 3200MHz.
    Disabled CPU power saving settings such as C-State from BIOS.

    The game can now be played normally.
    However, the average FPS is still lower than when I was using the Ryzen5 3600.
    I can't figure out why.

    @takedamitsunari with changing CPU i do recommend reinstalling OS it always helps. IS the CPU overclocked by any chance?

    No overclocking settings are available.
    Only XMP for memory is set.
    The CPU clock is variable and is running at 4600MHz while playing Apex.

    I did a clean install of the OS today, but the problem still persists.

    When I jump right after the start, the FPS will be 90-140.
    After that, it will frequently go around 110-165 in buildings.

    I don't believe this is normal, but what do you admins think?
    There are videos on youtube with the same Ryzen5 5600X + RTX3070 combination as mine that are always running at 165Hz and some that are always running at 240Hz.
    In those videos, there is no drop to 110FPS.
