Random heavy frame drops/lag spikes?

[Fuji]

So I only started having this after season 1 started but randomly, every so often, I will just suddenly get a massive frame drop/lag spike, dropping to single digits and even hanging on a single frame for several seconds. This has several times got me killed, and I cannot figure out what is causing it or how to fix it.
I read about limiting fps fixes some of these, so I did that, and it was fine for many games but it started again, randomly.
Not a hardware issue, checked my temps and everything during these spikes and nothing is peaking, temps are fine.
This will even sometimes happen in the menus, or during mvp/the end of the game screen.
The only thing I can think of is maybe a memory leak? But I can't see any memory issues when checking task manager during these events.
Like I said, everything was fine before the season 1 update.
Anyone got any advice?

I was having a lot of them, but after updating to the latest NVIDIA drivers, I'm no longer getting them, so try that if applicable.

Kill vsync or the frame cap. With vsync on the 1% lows sit in the 60-70s depending on settings. With vsync/framecap off, the 1% lows are 100s.

5800x3d, 7900xtx, 4k, Arch BTW

Same bro. It's really frustrating

Even with latest driver it still happens, I have EVERYTHING turned off or on low, enabled/disabled frame cap, nothing works, still drops all the time, it goes from 130 to 5.

I am not able to play this game. My frames are horrible, character models take forever to load, and it just isnt fun.

On low settings and on the max settings, the issues are the same, not better or worse.

Using system requirements lab, it claims I should be able to run the game with my parts to the recommended level.

So ive been stuck playing overwatch, having 10min queue times there instead of the fun 5 seconds queues here :(

bumping this for visiblity because I am still having this issue

Been having the same thing since season 0
At random times when a lot of things are happening, frames drop from 60 (uncapped its around 490-510FPS) and dips to 5 and even 1 to 0 FPS with a lag spike at 999, presists for a bit before stablizing. Usually happens a lot when things get hetic, when someone switches hero OR loads in as Dr Strange and they open a portal

mid town for me lags so hard for me even with everything on low. using a 3080

even at 150 fps my game randomly freezes at times I think its a memory leak

This is an issue on every UE5 title for Windows users.

The stutter though seems very Dx12 related. A Dx11 or Vulkan option would be amazing, even though Vulkan support is limited on UE5.

Bumping, have same issue, tried every available fix.

Edit : solved with a windows reset, game is smooth as butter.

Post 1% lows. 5800x3d avg fps is 220 but 1% lows are 61-70. Quite terrible.

Not everyone is having this issue is the thing. I have a 2060, not even a new card. Bios has been updated, etc.
