Characters and Animations freeze without lag or fps drop

I had this problems since yesterday, but blamed it on league launch.
Today my friends also play on the same realm and dont have this bug.

I play on "Frankfurt" and have an average ping of about 15-30. I never had issues like this before.

Sometimes mid gameplay (happens when idling, in town, in combat, in trade, anyhwere) the game "freezes". Most animations will stop, but sfx are still animated.

Like my lightning golem will stay still, but the arcs are still animated. My character stands still with idle animation etc.

About 0.5-2 seconds later the game will fastforward through everything the server has calculated.

I reinstalled Path of Exile (with and without Steam, on a SSD), reduced graphic, removed cache folders, and had multiple pings open on second screen (my pings are stable and the F1 information also says that my ping is ok (even to fra.login.pathofexile.com), except for one short duration during which the client seems to receive all information of the last seconds at once.)

Edit:

Here is a video I recorded, the "lag" is very visible at around minute 2:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHTCgvKNRhQ

It seems that inside my hideout the game works fine, but inside maps even if I just stand still the lag occurs.

same issue but i usually get this when i enter new instance. all animations are stopped but i can click portal to get back to another area.
re-entering usually fixes the issue for me.

I have also tried another driver versions but no luck.

Next i will try standalone client that is not on SSD to see if that helps, im running out of ideas

EDIT: Another client didn't help
EDIT2: After trying several drivers for GPU, i found that Nvidia GeForce 441.66 version works without any issues. This fixed the problem for me

Installed 441.66 GeForce driver and rebooted. Didn't solve it for me, sadly :(
Bump.

I recorded a video to show how this weird kind of lag looks like. At the beginning and again at around minute 2:00 you can see those lags in action.

i get that reliably if i oom while channeling cyclone. then after i pop a flask it bounces me ahead some 4 seconds, while not registering a change in fps or latency
Same here :( Is there no way to fix this problem? The game is unplayable atm for me.

P.S. I have solved this issue by turning off v-sync and enabling fullscreen mode.
