Low FPS in apex suddenly for no reason

I've been playing apex since the day it came out and loved it but recently the game has become unplayable for me due to a sudden low fps. For the past month my 5700 xt is getting 80 frames in capital and 120 everywhere else. I used to be able to get 144 fps everywhere and and 120 in capital. I still love the game but I can't play it I've been trying to search for a fix for ages and haven't found anything. Finally turning here for help.

PS. This happened around halfway through season 4 so the map change was not the issue also worth noting that my card never goes above 60% usage even though I dont get bottlenecked in any other game.

  • Hey Im not able to do that unfortunately because I clean installed windows a couple of days ago due to the issue. Still have not found a solution, mostly its that my card just doesnt run a max performance even though there isnt a bottleneck.

    Please verify that your drivers are all up-to-date and that you have installed the latest updates on your windows.

    Aslo you can try the following settings and see if that help your issue

    You can also lower Model Detail.

  • I have settings very similar to that but I tried you exact settings with no change ☹️  Ive been thinking maybe its a hardware issue but Im not getting lower fps on any other games

    6. Do you have any third party softwares running (Anivirus, discord, firewall etc)?

    > 6.1 Antivirus - Try to whitlist the game in your antivirus software and see if this helps.

    >> 6.2 Discord - Discord overlay and hardware acceleration since they can cause an issue.

    >>> 6.3 Firewall - Allow connections through the firewall

    7. Run CCleaner and Malwarebytes and see if the result may help your situation.<

    8. Re-install the game
