Recently I installed an Evga 3070 Ti FTW3, and it runs superb, but there's one issue that's been plaguing my pc ever since I installed it. For the first 10-20 minutes I use my pc after periods of inactivity, it runs obnoxiously slow. Not just games, my browsers, discord, steam, everything runs slowly and has slow response time. After that initial 10-20 minutes though, it's absolutely fine, and runs beautifully. Any idea what the cause is?

Update: I ran LatencyMon, to see what it would pick up. It seems to have found something wrong, however I don't know what. Here's the output:

CONCLUSION
_
Your system appears to be having trouble handling real-time audio and other tasks. You are likely to experience buffer underruns appearing as drop outs, clicks or pops. One or more DPC routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. Also one or more ISR routines that belong to a driver running in your system appear to be executing for too long. One problem may be related to power management, disable CPU throttling settings in Control Panel and BIOS setup. Check for BIOS updates.
LatencyMon has been analyzing your system for 0:00:37 (h🇲🇲ss) on all processors.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
_
Computer name: DESKTOP-T3NDKCF
OS version: Windows 10, 10.0, version 2009, build: 19044 (x64)
Hardware: System Product Name, System manufacturer
CPU: AuthenticAMD AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor

Reported CPU speed: 3593 MHz

Note: reported execution times may be calculated based on a fixed reported CPU speed. Disable variable speed settings like Intel Speed Step and AMD Cool N Quiet in the BIOS setup for more accurate results.


_
MEASURED INTERRUPT TO USER PROCESS LATENCIES
_
The interrupt to process latency reflects the measured interval that a usermode process needed to respond to a hardware request from the moment the interrupt service routine started execution. This includes the scheduling and execution of a DPC routine, the signaling of an event and the waking up of a usermode thread from an idle wait state in response to that event.

Highest measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 75763.10
Average measured interrupt to process latency (µs): 994.159006

Highest measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 75759.30
Average measured interrupt to DPC latency (µs): 964.767438


_
REPORTED ISRs
_
Interrupt service routines are routines installed by the OS and device drivers that execute in response to a hardware interrupt signal.

Highest ISR routine execution time (µs): 2010.539382
Driver with highest ISR routine execution time: HDAudBus.sys - High Definition Audio Bus Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Highest reported total ISR routine time (%): 0.002716
Driver with highest ISR total time: HDAudBus.sys - High Definition Audio Bus Driver, Microsoft Corporation

Total time spent in ISRs (%) 0.003280

ISR count (execution time <250 µs): 8578
ISR count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 500-1000 µs): 0
ISR count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 1
ISR count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 1
ISR count (execution time >=4000 µs): 0


_
REPORTED DPCs
_
DPC routines are part of the interrupt servicing dispatch mechanism and disable the possibility for a process to utilize the CPU while it is interrupted until the DPC has finished execution.

Highest DPC routine execution time (µs): 45007.725021
Driver with highest DPC routine execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 472.12 , NVIDIA Corporation

Highest reported total DPC routine time (%): 0.219685
Driver with highest DPC total execution time: nvlddmkm.sys - NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 472.12 , NVIDIA Corporation

Total time spent in DPCs (%) 0.286864

DPC count (execution time <250 µs): 15302
DPC count (execution time 250-500 µs): 0
DPC count (execution time 500-10000 µs): 13
DPC count (execution time 1000-2000 µs): 8
DPC count (execution time 2000-4000 µs): 56
DPC count (execution time >=4000 µs): 113


_
REPORTED HARD PAGEFAULTS
_
Hard pagefaults are events that get triggered by making use of virtual memory that is not resident in RAM but backed by a memory mapped file on disk. The process of resolving the hard pagefault requires reading in the memory from disk while the process is interrupted and blocked from execution.

NOTE: some processes were hit by hard pagefaults. If these were programs producing audio, they are likely to interrupt the audio stream resulting in dropouts, clicks and pops. Check the Processes tab to see which programs were hit.

Process with highest pagefault count: icedragon.exe

Total number of hard pagefaults 30
Hard pagefault count of hardest hit process: 14
Number of processes hit: 9

Additionally, I have noticed whenever it is lagging like crazy, task manager shows "Client Server Runtime Process" and "Desktop Window Manager" using 100% or nearly 100% of my GPU.

Are you still having the issues? Then to be sure its not driver related I would try reinstalling via that link.
I'm still having issues, yes. Also, another bit of info that may be helpful- I tried playing Mordhau just a bit ago, and for 10-15 minutes it ran great. Silky smooth, the best I've ever seen it perform- 30-50% gpu usage and about 5/8 gb of gpu memory usage. Suddenly, framerate tanks, all animations freeze, and the cloth physics go nuts- cloth textures with physics are stretched out across the screen in an unsightly rectangular strand- as gpu usage spikes to near 100%.

This can be a driver issue or issue with the GPU as far as I know.

well, that's what I was thinking too, but I updated the drivers and it didn't help. I also got the bluescreen error "DPC Watchdog Violation" this morning when trying to wake up my pc. It finally woke up now, but when I tried to restart it a bit ago I encountered that bluescreen.
