what about your psu, gpu issues can be caused by a failing psu, the gpu and cpu under high load will pull a lot of amps and if your psu isnt up to par that can casue issues, also i didnt get your full spec of your pc, could you list it?
Based on what I've bolded - I updated to the newest Nvidia driver and it caused really bad stutter in Fortnite, so I clean uninstalled it and went back to driver 431.60.
Noted that you've done a clean Windows install but you're probably using the exact same new Nvidia driver? Could be the cause here.

how big is you psu? plus how old is the psu unit?
To be honest it’s been a fault for a while now and I’ve had various different gpu drivers.

a 650w unit with around 45 amps on the 12v rail is needed for the 2080/2080ti, what do you have?
Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor
Kolink Core Series 600W 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
GeForce RTX 2080 AMP Edition 8192MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Gigabyte 256GB M.2 PCIe x2 NVMe SSD/Solid State Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 7200RPM
Gigabyte Z390 UD Intel Z390 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

dam a spec like that should have no issues at all, i'm looking online to see what the output of the psu is, do you have any kind of overclock on the cpu or gpu?
Edit: looks like that psu has a max 12v capacity of 480w at 40 amps which is a tad low for a 2080, pair this with your 9700k and i think you may not have enough headroom in some games, dont forget some games will put max load on compponets, so the issue you have is in certain titles, other seem fiine as the load isnt as high, i would have a look at a 750w gold rated unit
On that subject though I’d say I’m running a very undemanding game and it makes no difference to the occurrence rate if I have the graphics on the lowest or the highest settings.
Although I do think it may be occurring more often when it’s been running for a long period of time (heat?) although the system itself is running so cool because it’s hardly needing to try

have you got any kind of oc software installed for the gpu, i only say because you can drop the core clock say -100 core clock offset and re run any game, if the stuttering issue goes away i'd say you psu isn't up to the task, may i ask what gpu you had before the 2080 if any?
edit you mention it ocours more if left on for a extended peroid, have you checked the heat output from the psu? if the gpu and cpu are cool they wont be the problem.
if the psu is hot to the touch thats not a good sign, i used psu calculator online and with the specs you provided the minimum psu it recommends is 537w now this is fine but the rule of thumb is to always have 100w extra capacity to allow future upgrades as not doing so may cause problems down the road

i've just seen the price of that unit and at £38 you are playing with fire, not a hope in hell i'd use such a cheap unit with such expensive hardware, you need to have a look at a quality 80 plus gold/platinum unit, dont be afraid to spend some money, you psu is key to any build, its often overlooked but a pretty critiical element, if that pops it could take out your whole pc

PSU needs to be replaced asap, last thing you want is for it to take out or damage other components.

Oh will I really need to spend over 100 for a decent psu?

I would say so, remember it provides power to all your components, how much would it cost you if a cheap psu took out your mobo / cpu / graphics card / ram / hdd?
Soldato
Most definitely, that PSU needs to go.
