*Power options high performance.
*Nvidia latest drivers and settings optimized for performance (also tried with previous driver versions)

Really frustrating , first time posting here as I really need help and ran out of ideas.

Please do not reply with answers to fix this that involve deep registry changes, game booster and other software.

What happens if you cap the fps at 100 does it dip lower? If not then what about at 144


Try this as it will help spot irregularities.. If you aren't using monitoring software then download msi afterburner and run it while you play some games. This is safe software and one of the most common software to monitor things like gpu and cpu usage, power usage, frames, all of it, but it shows on a graph over a long period of time so you can see what else happens when the dips takes place.

You don't need this if you have monitoring software already, use whatever you have, but you should see some type of pattern when your dips happen. If you don't I wouldn't really call this other software, it's very basic and honestly great for any gaming pc to have.
