thx for your advice, but i think i fixed my problem by changing two settings:
disabling nvidia reflex and changing the "frame rate limit" option to on and setting the max fps to 250 and afterwards change it back to off again! the strange thing is, i did both things separately before and it didnt help but doing both somehow worked.... im afraid to change any more settings, as long as its running fine now im happy 🙂
thx for your help!
p.s.: maybe the devs could take a look at these settings, maybe there is a bug in the engine and how they both seem to interact...

i had the 535.98 driver installed until a couple hours hours ago and wanted to see if the hotfix fixes my problem.... and yes i always use ddu when installing new drivers...
i already tested the "verify steam files" option and also deleted the folder where the 2 xml files (hardware_settings_config.xml & hardware_settings_info.xml) are stored!

WER suggests 'ATKEX_cmd.exe' is not working.

Install Intel Driver and Support Assistant to load MEI driver and any other outdated platform or system drivers.

ME firmware can be had here (as good as any guide, as I do this myself on Intel boards)

Restart as prompted.

Uninstall any ASMedia driver from your Add/Remove Programs, restart as prompted. From Device Manager, delete the ASMedia USB device driver, including the prompt so that the Windows Inbox driver loads. Try not to plug in USB devices into the ASMedia USB ports (under LAN - USB3.1 EA_1 and USB 3.1 EC_1) and ensure PCIE x1_1 & PCIE x1_3 are unpopulated (refer to manual).

Download Realtek UAD driver.

Follow guide on site

Disconnect Internet, uninstall Realtek High Definition Audio driver. Restart as prompted.

Connect internet. Ensure Realtek Store app is downloaded and in Device Manager audio shoes as 'Realtek (R) Audio'

Verify Steam files and delete hardware_settings_config.xml before launching.

Good luck!
