Visual Glitches and Stuttering in game

At the start of Season 7 Apex was running smoothly.  Over the course of the last 2 to 3 weeks no matter what settings components or hardware I use to play apex legends I get Visual glitches and Stuttering in game/screen tearing (however this doesn't necessarily correlate with in game frame drop). My VRAM, CPU, and RAM usage never play max out during game play

My GPU depending on the video settings and/or the number of  Bangalore and Gibraltar ults in my line of sight will on occasion max out.

CPU: Intel Core i9-9900k (8 core) 3.6GHz Processor

GPU: RTX 3070

Windows 10 64 Bit

I have gone ahead and attached a DxDiag

Here are things I tried:

Repairing game files

Uninstalling and then Reinstalling Apex

Capping the frames at the refresh rate.

Uncapping the frames.

Capping the frames slightly lower then the refresh rate.

Capping the Frames significantly lower then the refresh rate.

Running APEX with the in game video settings ranging from the highest to the lowest and everything in between.

Vsync on and off within game

Gsync on and off within the NVIDIA control panel

Messing around with the 3D settings in the NVIDIA Control panel

Updating NVIDIA drivers

Rolling back NVIDIA Drivers

Swapping in an RTX 2060 Super GPU

Playing using this monitor: Acre XB272 240hz 1080p

Playing using this monitor: Dell S2716Dg 144 hz 1440p

There are more things I tried but cannot think of at the time of this post.

My ability to troubleshoot has reached a limit and I hope someone has an answer so I can play Apex Legends without animations skipping or weird visual input delays.

    Your graficcard runs at x16 3.0? You can check that in windows with GPU-Z

    Lets try a config change: 

    • navigate to C:\Users\*username*\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local
    • copy the videoconfig.txt to your desktop (so that you have backed up your settings and can restore them later if necessary)
    • open the videoconfig.txt in C:\Users\*username*\Saved Games\Respawn\Apex\local 
    • delete all
    • now copy and past this:
    Spoiler
    "VideoConfig"
    {
    "setting.cl_gib_allow" "0"
    "setting.cl_particle_fallback_base" "-999999"
    "setting.cl_particle_fallback_multiplier" "-999999"
    "setting.cl_ragdoll_maxcount" "0"
    "setting.cl_ragdoll_self_collision" "0"

    "setting.fullscreen" "1"
    "setting.nowindowborder" "0"

    "setting.gamma" "1.000000"
    "setting.configversion" "7"
    "setting.modeldecals_forceAllowed" "-1"
    }
    • save the videoconfig.txt
    • right click on it, read only

    Play apex, and tell me if it's better.
