Fps drops after update

PC Specs:

• Intel Core i5-14600K
• NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti (issue also reproduced on RTX 3070 PCs)
• 32GB DDR5 6000 MT/s
• Windows 11
• Latest NVIDIA driver installed

Issue:
After the latest Apex Legends update, I am experiencing severe FPS drops on multiple identical PCs. Before the update, Apex was running at 220+ FPS. After the update, FPS drops to around 60–80 FPS when looking in certain directions, while looking in other directions can still give 200+ FPS.

The issue is reproducible in the Firing Range and on multiple maps. GPU usage remains around 40% during the FPS drops, CPU and GPU temperatures are normal, and no CPU core is maxed out.

Troubleshooting performed:

• Updated to the latest NVIDIA driver
• Tested DX11
• Lowered all graphics settings
• Disabled V-Sync
• Verified RAM is running at 6000 MT/s
• Reset Apex configuration by renaming the Respawn folder
• Cleared shader caches
• Tested on multiple identical PCs

Other games such as CS2, Overwatch 2, and Marvel Rivals run normally. The issue only affects Apex Legends and started immediately after the latest update.
