I am having an issue with my network where my 100 Mbps network throttles to an 8 Mbps average and the worst case is that upload speed dips to 0.2 Mbps. This issue happens whenever I run CPU or GPU heavy software like Solidworks, Ansys, adobe, and even offline games.

The speed obtained during normal CPU or GPU usage:

The speed obtained during heavy CPU or GPU usage:

In dire need of help for solving this weird problem.
 
Solution
Speedtest requires CPU cycles to generate and receive data. If your CPU is 100% busy with other tasks, I am not surprised that your "tests" show diminished capacity.
