Huge lag spikes and freezes

Hi. I've been playing Apex Legends for a few months and everything going well until the recent 2 updates. My game keeps getting huge lag spikes and then it freezes sometime after the lag spikes. The weird part is that I don't see any significant FPS drop from the game performance info ( it does sometimes but mostly not ). it lags so hard that I can't even play the game. it feels like 30 Fps even though my fps is always from 110-120. There is no overheating on any part of my pc but I did find out whenever my lag spikes come in. My GPU would be dropped to around 20-40% usage and it only lag spikes mid-game. Both of my CPU GPU would be around 60-80% usage when it is running smoothly.

I've been trying every method from the internet like changing all kinds of in-game video settings / capping my max fps to my monitor refresh rate / changing Nvidia control panel setting / shut down window game mode / updating all CPU GPU drivers etc... nothing really seems to work.it really upset me. I really hope that someone can help me ☹️  Please let me know if there is any way to fix this.I am willing to try anything!

Anyways. Thank you so much for reviewing my question 🙂

Here is my pc spec :

CPU               : Intel Core i7 10700F 
Mother Board : Z490-A PRO
GPU               :  ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 3070
RAM               : 16 GB DDR4 2667Hz x2 (2 channel )

  • Hi guys, did anyone find solution to the ping  spikes because I am facing it from the last week. The game just runs at 45 to 50 ms but suddenly it goes to 200 to 300 ms. The wifi connection is just fine.

    Don't think so. It happened to me and my friends while playing, it was like a wave, I would say "I'm having lag (high ping)" and after a few seconds they would also report that they also have lag (high ping).

    Sometimes one of us would rubber band really hard and the only fix was ALT-F4 and reconnect, other times the whole lobby would move in pictures.

    I've seen many cheaters in Season 11 compared to other seasons, and I believe that some people are lag switching because they would lag exactly when they'd start a fight.
