I don't know if it was one, or both, but I uninstalled Valorant (Thinking that it may be a problem of Vanguard not playing nice with Apex anticheat), and I also found out that my Norton 360 Gamers antivirus had game boosting on. I disabled game boosting through my antivirus, and I'm back to playing on max settings with no issue.

@eXampLeFPS I have been having the same issue

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: RX 5600XT
RAM: 16GB 3200mhz
Storage: Game runs of HDD

I've spent around 40 hours trying to solve this problem. I've only found one post on a forum with an identical scenario and a solution. This person also had a strong PC, but his issue was that A-XMP wasn't enabled. His 3200mhz rated ram was only running at 2933mhz. When he enabled the setting, his game performed much better. Still, he wasn't able to get his GPU to perform anywhere near a 99% average. This person was able to play arenas with his GPU maxed out, but in battle royale he would experience symptoms identical to yours.

My opinion, RAM is the issue. I have 3200mhz cl16 ram and my game struggles. So does warzone. Other games like overwatch runs at close to 400fps. If I were you, I'd consider overclocking my ram or just buying a new kit. I can't play apex at this stage - my computer's performance makes it extremely frustrating. To make things worse - Apex is the reason I built a new PC. Little did I know the RAM is what would have unqualified it from actually running the game the way I would have liked.
