To preface, this is my current build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/bVFRFG
So back in December shortly I got my new GPU, an RTX 2070 Super, I noticed my PC was starting to underperform. I had first noticed it in the game Control, which on my GTX 1070 I had no trouble playing, was now unplayable on my RTX 2070 Super, I'm talking very poor framerates even at the lowest settings. Some games were affected less severely than others, Modern Warfare for example ran fine, but began experiencing stuttering that wasn't there before, and Battlefield V didn't see any apparent increase in performance over my 1070, but was also experiencing stuttering, then games like Rainbow Six Siege, and Mordhau saw increases in performance, without stuttering, however what performance increases I do get don't seem to be in line with what other people experience, I get at most 90 or so FPS in Mordhau, but most people say, with builds similar to my own, they get well over 100 FPS. Even in Doom 2016 I get these framerate drops, it'll be running at 144 FPS or higher, then suddenly dip down to about 60 for a very brief moment before shooting back up, regardless of whether or not I'm in a high intensity moment in the game.
I've run the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark, which you can see the results of here https://www.3dmark.com/fs/21924566
It seems to indicate that I'm not doing as well as most people with a build like mine, and I can't narrow down the cause for it. I ran MSI Afterburner during some of my more graphically demanding games, like BFV, and I can't see anything that looks immediately off, but I'm also no expert, you can find a screenshot of BFV with the MSI Afterburner OSD active here
It's not unusual for me to hit well below 60 FPS in some cases in BFV with a mix of high and low settings.
I've tried many different things to try and narrow down the issue, but so far am at a loss. I've updated my BIOS, reinstalled windows, formatting the SSD the OS is installed to and everything, I've removed and reinstalled the GPU drivers using DDU multiple times, I've even tried reinstalling my old GTX 1070, and the issues I have currently persist with the old GPU, telling me it's not a defect in my new one either. I purchased a new PSU, as my previous one was 520w (the RTX 2070 Super asks for 650w), which didn't improve anything, closing literally anything that could be running in the background didn't improve things either. My last result was actually taking my PC in to a repair place to see if they could narrow it down, but unfortunately they couldn't either.
Is there anything I could try to help narrow it down? Is there anything in what I've provided that might tell you guys what the issue could be? I'm kinda at the point where I might try replacing my mobo, ram, and cpu, as I've heard my CPU could potentially be the bottleneck for my GPU, and my mobo and ram are very basic, could they be the issue at all?
