Season 12 apex stuttering (pc)

I just updated my pc from a 2070 to a 3070 ti. I noticed however that before I did that I was suddenly having weird stuttering issues. For instance, my game would be running at 130-165 fps constantly even before my new graphics card and the game would feel like 40 fps. I have done research and looked up many solutions to this problem. 

Pc specs are as follows: 
12700k @4.9-5.1ghz varies based on temps

3070ti 

ddr5 ram 4800 mhz. XMP1

750 PSU

Samsung ssd 980 pro 1tb

Samsung ssd 970 pro 1tb

temps on my graphics card never reach over 60 C. 

Temps on my cpu never reach over 70 c unless im loading a game up.

I have cox gigablast. less than 5 ping on ping tests.

I have tried clean install of apex, switching to origin, uncapping fps, capping fps, graphics high and low (i already use lowest settings on apex), uninstalling graphics drivers and clean installing them, disabling full screen optimizations, disabling gsync, clean install of windows, deleting the anti cheat folders and repairing apex, disabling all overlays, running ram diagnostics, everything checks out. No power issues/temp issues as described above. Just scored a 11500 on time spy which was "above average" for my setup. Cpu is like 20-30% usage even on uncapped fps. gpu is like 97% on uncapped fps and 60-70% on capped fps. GPU barely hits power target unless I uncap fps. ping is usually 20-40 depending on the game. 

Its not as noticeable in a recording, but its still there. Much worse in person. 

Its been like this ever since the weapons bundle update. I have no idea what is causing my game to stutter like it has been. Just hoping someone has an idea of what it could be.

    Recently upgraded to a RTX 3080 + Ryzen 9 5900x + 3600MHz CL14 Ram

    Has not made a difference, while I hold a constant 240fps, never does it drop, the gameplay will jitter from time to time, it looks as if the refresh rate it set low when its not, its set to 240Hz

    Bro I got the same setup and the game lags and jitters without any fps drop or ping fluctuations.

    I love this game but this game doesn't love me.

    Also I found out somewhere that Apex lags more and consistently on a Ryzen 5000 series processor.

    I am going back to Valorant, also I've tried every fix there is in the world and I played this game for almost 2 seasons but now I am done its depressing even tho I play above average it lag and most of the times I loose the end games where I can easily win and am unable to get better because of the lag.

    I hope this game gets fixed for everyone but I doubt it.

  • The most recent update for me seems to have actually improved the performance quite a bit, even with monitoring the frame times in the firing range, and comparing with previous tests I done, it seems the game is running much smoother for me now. The update was for the event, but there is definitely had to been some under the hood performance improvements I feel

  • I’ve got the exact same issue, all started when they closed Origin and move to the EA app. Running around it keeps stepping. I’ve searched and tried everything as you have mentioned. Fresh wiped my PC the whole lot. Driving me crazy. There is a couple things on this thread I haven’t tried so I will give them a go and see, glad I’m not the only one 

  • I tried everything on this post and could'nt find my issue, stuttering every 1/2 seconds every time i move too fast and so on.
    I fixed it, the problem was GPU TWEAK which has big issues with this particular game at the moment
    Just close it if you have it running
