Regular, severe FPS drops, even when standing still and despite having a decent PC.

The FPS stays at a stable 60, but every 20 seconds or so, it drops to 18 for a few seconds then shoots back up to 60. This happens in all areas, even if I'm standing still and not moving my camera around.
A few weeks ago, I had the same issue, but it used to only last for the first 15 minutes after launch then completely disappear. So I used to launch the game, go do something else for 15 minutes, then come back to enjoy super smooth gameplay.
Now, perhaps due to a windows update (which I can't roll back), the issue is persistent, even if I wait for an hour after launch.
I also uninstalled/deleted everything and tried the newer version of the BB Launcher with the shadPS4 prelease builds, but encountered the same issue.
I completely uninstalled my GPU drivers using DDU and installed fresh drivers, but that didn't change anything.
I tried playing around with different resolutions and patches, but nothing changed.
I now ran out of troubleshooting steps. Please help.
