I get horrible lag when i play games with my RTX 2080 overclocked, I use 3DMark Time Spy to check if my overclock is stable and it works flawlessly during the tests but when i play games i have horrible lag spikes constantly. What is going on? Or are you not supposed to play games with a overclocked GPU?
 
Using a benchmark to test an overclock is a good indication of stability but it does not guarantee stability. You can still run into stability problems in actual games, it can even be in just 1 game. If you reduce/remove the overclock does the problem go away?

Yes, if GPU is not overclocked then there is no lags.
