I was able to resolve this issue by doing the following:

1. Uninstalled all Armory Crate/ASUS software (specific to my MB)

2. Updated BIOS to latest ver

3. Joined "beta (stable)" tier of Windows Insider Program and ran all available updates (including optional updates).

4. Set custom settings for POE2 in Nvidia Control Panel:
a.) Image Scaling: On
b.) Anisotropic filtering: App-controlled
c.) Antialiasing - FXAA: On
d.) Antialiasing - Gamma correction: On
e.) Antialiasing - Mode: App-controlled
f.) Antialiasing - Transparency: 8x (supersample)
g.) Background Application Max Frame Rate: Off
h.) CUDA - GPUs: Use these GPUs: GeForce GTX 2080 Ti (All)
i.) CUDA - Sysmem Fallback Policy: Prefer to Sysmem Fallback
j.) Low Latency Mode: Ultra
k.) Max Frame Rate: 144 FPS (to match my monitor refresh rate)
l.) Monitor Technology: G-SYNC
m.) Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA): On
n.) OpenGL GDI compatibility: Auto
o.) OpenGL rendering GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
p.) Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
q.) Preferred refresh rate (Dell S2716DG): Highest available
r.) Texture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
s.) Texture filtering - Negative LOD bias: Allow
t.) Texture filtering - Quality: Quality
u.) Texture filtering - Trilinear optimization: On
v.) Threaded optimization: On
w.) Triple buffering: On
x.) Vertical sync: Off

5. In-game settings:
a.) Renderer: DirectX12
b.) Display: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti
c.) Mode: Windowed Fullscreen
d.) VSync: Off
e.) Dynamic Resolution: On
f.) Window Resolution: 2560 x 1440 (Native)
g.) Upscale Mode: NVIDIA DLSS
h.) Max Image Quality: Quality
i.) Sharpness: 15%
j.) HDR: Off (not supported)
k.) Texture Quality: High (Default)
l.) Texture Filtering: 8x Anisotropic Filtering
m.) Lighting: Shadows + Global Illumination
n.) Shadow + GI Quality: Low (Default)
o.) Sun Shadow Quality: High (Default)
p.) Number of Lights: High (Default)
q.) Water Detail Level: High (Default)
r.) NVIDIA Reflex: On + Boost
s.) Foreground FPS Cap: 144 (matches monitor refresh rate)
t.) Background FPS Cap: 30
u.) Triple-Buffering: On
v.) Target Framerate: 60
w.) Engine Multithreading: On

This obviously strictly applies to NVIDIA cards, but some of this may still be useful regardless. Hope this helps!

I have no words

If it came down to it, what new CPU would you guys reccommend assuming that's the culprit? I have an AMD ryzen 7800 x3d. Built my PC March 2024, I have the 4080 Super.

It seems that issue also applies to the AMD X3D CPUs, which looks to be the culprit.

Problem with waiting for fix is- it could be in 6-12 months if we lucky, coz they don't have a clue what's causing it
