Anyone getting the same random stutter ingame?W/ frametime graph (3080)

It's always the same stutter with the same pattern (It looks like 3 quick frametime spikes ingame and 1 stutter in MSI hardware monitor) its how I recognize it every time.Happens once/twice randomly almost every game.

https://www.capframex.com/sessioncollections/f05e8810-fe09-49bb-ab6d-977fee918fc2 results of when it happens.

Rig:3080,9900k,3200mhz 16gb,970 evo SSD 500gb.

Things I tried
-Tried updating Mobo bios
-Various drivers (DDUcleaned) (currently on 457.51)
-Hardware acceleration disabled in chrome/discord
-All overlays disabled
-Gamebar disabled
-Fullscreen optimisation disabled
-Disabling reflex w/ command "+gfx_nvnUseLowLatency 0" Some people are saying disabling reflex doesn't actually work but when I use the command the game doesn't cap the fps to 138 anymore so it works?
-Vsync off

-Clean windows 10 install

-Admin mode

Trying to look for ppl with the exact same issue so I can atleast try to figure out if it's something ingame thats causing the issue (because whatever it is its the same culprit everytime) 

Update1:Yea I found another user with a VERY similar spike https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Massive-fps-drop-season-7/m-p/9991537?attachment-id=47834... from thread https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Massive-fps-drop-season-7/m-p/9991537#M95349

Update2:So far the only thing that points me to the game is this thread https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/3080-tuf-oc-ed-same-stutter-in-apex-once-twice-a-game-w-frametimegraph.436073/  where I monitored the issue  with "windows performance tool".The results said its either the game/driver and that the game seems to hold to thread 0 for too long. (Whatever that means)

Also my brother had the very same 3 quick micro stutter randomly happen in his game too.

    my opinion on this game is....., ihave over 2500 hours and i do not recommend this game to anyone , it is so frustrating because several reasons(stutter,cheaters,the * delay,dying through doors,packet loss,prediction errors everytime,sometimes it freezes for 1 sec and more)

    Developer focus  on skins,heirlooms,lame events (in one word = for money)  they don t give a * about performance, this game is no 1 at delay, crap servers since season one.

    If they have had servers like overwatch 2,cod,csgo ,fornite this would have been the greatest BR of all time!

    and for these reasons im slowly quitting .

    Ahh I see.
    Take note of the locations with visual indications and map.

    Report this in the Bug Reports section.

    The more players who report the better we can narrow this down for the Dev's

    The thing is, its happening to everyone. Some people are just clueless about the performance. 

    I measure my 0.1% lows and olympus is 10000% broken, interacting with bins, messing with inventory, some gunfights, blured minimap and UI. Something everything just freezes.

    And I've been asking every teammate i've had, they all reported the same problems.

    On other maps I can maintain +220fps 0.1% lows. No drops, no stutters, butter smoth experience and gameplay.

    On olympus my 0.1% lows are 30FPS. Stutters, hitching, straight up freezes, inconsistent frametimes.

     I've noticed it on every stream i've watched of olympus, again, some people just dont notice it or think its their pc.

    Even pros already noticed it (see my reply)

    For me HAGS was the issue. I caused consistent frame-time spikes from 4ms to around 20ms roughly every 8 seconds. I disabled it and restarted. Lo and behold no more frame-time issues.

    When i startuo the game its fine. Get into the main lobby and my cursor is laggy. The game is no longer as smooth as it was even on 240 fps very stuttery. Which makes it unplayable. Having the same spike issues.... ughhh 3060ti ko oc ryzen 7 5800x 32gb ram 750w psu... ughhh it didnt happen until after the dressed to kill event update
