Since April this year I have been experiencing random FPS drops that happen when playing the game. They can last up to 10 seconds, and can occur randomly. I observe at least one during a night of playing. My game runs buttery smooth otherwise @ 240Hz with an i5-8600k and GTX 1080.
I'm using mastercomfig low, with nohats, custom crosshairs, m0rehud, and custom hitsounds. Launch options are updated according to mastercomfig docs.
My temps seem perfectly normal when ingame, and I always keep all my drivers up to date. I also think its at least worth noting that I always notice the issue occurring at around the same time of day, several hours after booting up my PC.

might be something updating or scanning in the background? if its around the same time of the day, id give disabling antivirus scanning a go and to manually set window 10 (if u use it) "active" hours to late night or early morning

Yeah great suggestion, though as far as I can see in Task Scheduler Windows Defender isn't scheduling scans during active gaming hours. However, I've now set specific triggers just in case.

Have your task manager open and take a look at what's using up CPU when it happens. For me steam client webhelper would spike up to 80%+ of CPU from time to time. Keeping the friend list closed (on desktop and in the steam overlay) solved that for me.

I think I did check task manager at some point and saw nothing out of the ordinary - then again I'm not 100 percent certain... Will check the next time the issue happens!

Ive had issues with windows updating in the background. Usually it just effects my ping, but a few times it has caused TF2 to stutter (even if it wasnt using much of my cpu or gpu). Something to look into, esp if it happens around the same time a day.
