Question Why can't I get consistent 1080p @ 60FPS on IJATGC with RTX/PT ?

I know this is like.... the most demanding game right now. But, even still, I can't even get 1080p @ 60FPS consistently unless I disable RTX/PT. How do I fix this?

My PC
CPU: Ryzen 3900X 12-Core
GPU: 4080 Super
RAM: 64GB

What gives? MY CPU is only under half load. Do you really need a 4090 to run path tracing and ray tracing properly on this game? I can max out all the settings to supreme just fine and not have any issue.... until i turn on path tracing and ray tracing, then framerate drops like a rock. Cant even get consistant 60. It's only when I turn on RTX. I tried frame gen, DLSS, everything. Nothing works. What gives?
 
1| You should be listing your specs 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 your motherboard at this moment of time.

2| You should be at 1440p at the very least with that GPU. 1080p is wasted potential for your RTX4080 Super.

3| Have you tried with DLSS off...? Speaking of which what sort of in-game settings are you on?

Cpu matters way more at 1080p. If this is solely gaming a 5700x3d would be better. If you can find them 5800x3d

You did not list the game but if it is something like cyberpunk then yes it beats even a 4090 into submission when you start turning on the fancy eye candy.

Watch the cpu load and gpu load carefully. If the gpu is at 100% and the cpu is not then it maybe a better video card will help. If neither is at 100% the it is likely bad coding by the game company. There are a lot of game companies that rush garbage to market and try to fix it later...starfield for example. There is also the case where a game is only using a limited number of cores so the cpu load make look low because it is a average of all the cores.

In general this is a lazy game development company issue. They do not spend the time to optimize their code they would rather just make the customer spend more money on hardware so they can spend less on software development.

Graphical Game Settings/Visuals all maxed out: I tried with DLSS and Frame Gen. The thing is: The frame-drop only happens if I turn on PT/RT. Without those 2 things, it maintains consistant 60FPS. As soon as I turn on PT/RT, frame-rate drops if I go outside to open areas where the sun is shining
