Fps drop

Guys i am having issues with PoE , i tried all kinds of settings , disabled gsync on my monitor , tried vsync , updated bios , changed bios settings , changed windows settings , reinstalled windows and i always play and have my fps lets say capped at 144 or capped by vsync if i decide to use it and every 5-10-20 seconds my fps drops to 5 and goes back to the cap. Literally stable-looking fps with drops to 5 and its making me crazy.

My system is with ryzen 5 5600x , rtx 3070 , 16gb 3600mhz ram and the game is played on an m.2 ssd. Nothing is overheating i already checked. I tried both vulkan and directx but the same result - i play with "stable" fps and from time to time it drops to 5 and goes back up 1 second or less after.

I also disabled all sound except loot filter (from the config ini). I noticed that the spikes happen when i teleport(i guess its normal) , when i talk to a npc or when i discover a npc in a map for example and fps spikes to 5 and goes back up to my cap (144).

still the same.. i cant understand how the game can keep 144 fps and suddenly drop to 5 fps , wtf is this i pass all kinds of benchmarks and i get 144-> 5 fps for a second

its not even from something demanding like 329329 effects on screen , I just click an npc at the fps goes to 5

Doesn'e happen in standard for me and my pc is -->
Core i7-3770K (5Ghz OC), 16 GB ram, Asus GTX1070TI Cerberus Adv., Samsung 840 500GB SSD

I found the cause guys. Dont listen to youtube tutorials telling you to make PhysX render gpu only , leave it to automatic , let the drivers and auto settings do their thing and dont touch too many things like I did. Maybe on a low end system or something and a more gpu-demanding game it can be better to be gpu-only but never set it for PoE. With gpu rendering physX i had constant 144 fps with really rare drops even in fights , but i had fps spikes (from 144 to 5 and back) and everything could cause a fps spike. Now physX set to automatic i have more variable fps but i never actually lag and i dont have those spikes from 144 cap to 1 or 5. I hope i help someone and i wish everyone mirror drops!
