lag spikes only when valorant is running

i recently built a pc with these specs:
RTX 4080 Gpu
AMD Ryzen 9 9900x Cpu
64gb RAM 6000mhz
Gigabyte b850 mobo

EVERY other game i play runs perfectly fine with aboslutely no lags whatsoever, valorant also did after first boot. but trying it out again today i noticed constant minor and sometimes major fps/lag spikes when playing. another thing to note, when valorant is running other things lag with similar timing (youtube video for example) for some reason

im not really sure what this is or what could cause this for just valorant to have this experience, any kind of help would be welcome! i can provide videos of gameplay and screenshots of anything when asked
