Massive FPS Drops in POE2

I upgraded to an i-9900K because I though the processor bottleneck was the main issue.

But I still get drops to 10-40 FPS during high action moments in maps.

The low frames last the entire action make it hard to dodge, and annoying to play. I've given up on playing and spend my time trying to troubleshoot or playing other games.

Specs:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz (Boost 4.7Ghz)
64 GB 3600 MHz Ram
Win 11
Samsung 980 SSD Pro

Thanks for the info, that saves a lot of money for many others, because I was also afraid that it was due to the CPU. What I can't quite understand is that many streamers don't have these problems to this extent. Many don't display the FPS, so we don't notice it as much. From what I've seen, most of them play with VSYNC off and then drop from 140 FPS down to 80 FPS. Without FPS displayed, most viewers don't notice it I guess.

I don't think upgrading the GPU or CPU will improve performance at all, as you can see from your and others HIGH-END SPECS.
