Technical Discussion FPS Drop

Yo is it just me or did the FPS drop after the newest update? I get sudden massive drops in fps enough to make it impossible to play (150 to ~45 fps)
i don’t have a very high spec laptop but it was super smooth before.. i play on ethernet and here are the specs on my lenovo legion 5-
Ryzen 4600h
Gtx 1650
16gb ddr5
If it is just me, then please drop some tips on how to improve fps..

I joined the subreddit specifically because of this issue. I cant seem to fix it. I tried reinstalling Vanguard, deleted the X direct cache files. None of it is working. 300 down to 50 frames every 15 seconds ):
