Question Low Frames in game (GPU issue?)

[Browsing8000]

Hi, I built a new pc for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Right after building it I ran some tests with software like superposition, 3d mark and in game to try and benchmark/stress test my equipment. I noticed right away that something was not right, in shadow of the tomb raider, my average FPS is about 50 lower than others with the same GPU and a similar or worse CPU. The game says im 74% gpu bound and my minimum, average and maximum gpu rendered frames are WAY lower than others, while the cpu seems to be where it should be. (check image link for details)

In 3D mark time spy my gpu is scoring about 2.5k lower than where it should be, bringing my average down by close to 2k, scoring my hardware in the bottom 3% of others. I understand a good amount of people who use this software overclock their GPU/CPU but even then some of the lowest GPU scores ive seen are around 20.4k and theres no way every single one of them is overclocking (my score is here

). I have run the test with and without hwinfo 64 running in the background and here are the results I screenshot after finishing the test with it running

I have stress tested my RAM, CPU and GPU in OCCT (and cinebench for cpu) for about 30 minutes each and it reported 0 issues. So at this point im completely stumped and for the life of me can not figure out what is causing my frames to be way lower than they should be. I have tried the obvious stuff like re-seating the gpu, trying different PCIE cables, using DDU to install new drivers for GPU, making sure my gpu is in the top PCIE slot etc, but none of it changed anything. I should have all of my drivers installed and up to date (minus amd graphics drivers because I have a Nvidia gpu). XMP for RAM is already enabled in the bios settings. If anyone could help me at all I would greatly appreciate it, because I can not figure out why my build is doing this.

Specs: Windows 11 Home OS
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d
GPU: MSI Ventus 2x white 4070 super
RAM: Corsair 6000 mhz (XMP enabled)
Motherboard: MSI b650 gaming plus wifi
SSD: Samsung 990 pro
PSU: Corsair rm850e
Case fans: Corsair LL Series with Corsair ICUE commander core XT header

is your windows power plan set to High/Ultimate performance mode ?

I see you're running the card at 1080p, that card can do 2K resolution. Make and model of your monitor? BIOS version for your motherboard? Did you let the OS download and install all your drivers for your platform?

HWInfo shows an 84C GPU thermal limit and the hotspot temperature hitting 84C which may have something to do with it. All of the CPU/GPU clockspeeds look correct as do the power limits and PCIe transfer speed.
