Massive FPS Drops - From constant 60 to 5-10 every 30secs

I am on STEAM client. Please help!

I've tried everything:

* every renderer
* put all graphics on lowest possible
* enabled and disabled dynamic culling and dynamic resolution
* tried all upscalers in the best performance mode
* deleted all the shaders (using this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/15icji4/how_i_solved_my_performance_issues_on_an_old/)
* set windows graphics settings to high-performance
* run as admin
* set windows/nvidia power mode to best performance
* rolled back the latest nvidia driver (the one that mentioned it was made for poe2)

I know this doesn't seem to be a common problem but I don't know what else to do. My computer runs PoE2 completely fine like 50% of the time, and then suddenly it just drops to 5-10fps, i pause the game and after 30secs or so it instantly goes back to 60fps like nothing happened.

I noticed this happens more often during boss fights, but not always, also happens with random mobs.

Please help ):

I have same problem fps is going between 30-60 fps in seconds no matter the graphical settings and nothing changes when i try to lower the settings.
With pc i have atm with highest settings game runs normal around 60 fps and everything is fine then when i enter new area fps start to fluctuate from 30-60 fps every second then if i port to town all is great again.
I got latest nvidia drivers 566.36
