Question consistent high frametimes (30-50ms) in Fullscreen

Specs GTX 1080. Ryzen 2700X. 16GB RAM. Win10 on Samsung 970 Evo Plus SSD. non-gsync 1080p 60Hz monitor shooting for ~16ms @ 60fps.

Really not sure why. Games in fullscreen have a Render Latency / Frametimes of 30ms-50ms @ 60fps. Even uncapped fps up to 140+ has a render latency of 20ms in fullscreen. Borderless window and Windowed are fine at 16ms @ 60fps.

I first noticed this issue about 2 months ago, which was 2 months after I did a clean install on the 970 Evo I had just bought at the time. Every game, DX9, DX11, DX12 has this issue now. Here's what I've done so far with no solution:
  • clean install nvidia drivers
  • set gpu to enable msi (message signaled interrupts) mode
  • system restart
  • Enable / Disable fullscreen optimizations & run as administrator
  • Force V-Sync on & off through nvidia ctrl panel (when fps is above 60, high render latency persists E.G. 20+ms @ 140fps)
  • Changed scaling mode to GPU / Display
  • Cleaned registry errors
  • Changed graphics settings & resolution
  • Turned on nVidia low latency mode to On / Ultra / off
  • Ensured power plan is High Performance
  • Ensured nVidia Prefer Maximum Power
  • Disconnect Peripherals & Bluetooth
  • Ensured RTSS & Afterburner does not run / start
  • Cleaned game cache & Verify Integrity
  • Disable in-game overlay for Steam Origin and nVidia
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for the motherboard?

I did a clean install
Where did you source the installer for the OS?
