Low FPS in most FPS games

[ZeroTwoHiro]

Hello! I'm pretty new to the PC gaming arena, and I built my own, which was a bad bad mistake. I wound up the owner of a RTX 2070 because of a deal I couldn't pass up and ever since then, I've been building it around that. Anyways, here's my dilemma:

Sub 60fps running most modern FPS games (CoD titles, Overwatch, Ready Or Not, etc). I'm running the games at Normal Presets, or as close to as I can anyways. Nothing extra (e.g. Ray Tracing).

In Precision X1, I have my card overclocked to what I believe is a safe bet. (+110 Core Clock, +800 Mem Clock, 130% power target at 88C, standard fan curve).

It is worth noting that I have two GPUs in my PC, the 2070 like mentioned above and a GTX 1050. I have a Samsung Odyssey G7 hooked up to the 2070, and only that. My secondary monitor, an HP 27inch FHD curve is the only thing connected to the 1050. The 1050 is currently in PCIe slot 2, at PCIe 16 @ x4 3.0
The 2070 is in slot one at PCIe 16 @ x16 3.0 (Currently set to boot Slot one first in BIOS, using the latest update)
Somebody in a previous reddit post I had made said that my PC may be trying to use the 1050. Unfortunately after trying everything they told me to do, nothing had changed, still sub 60fps.

My CPU (AMD Ryzen 7 5800X) is currently in Auto OC Mode through AMD Ryzen Master.

I have 32GB of 3000MHz RAM (Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro) set to XMP1 (thus the 3000).

The games are all entirely ran on one of three SSDs;
WD Black 1TB NVMe SSD
Samsung 870 EVO 1TB
Samsung 860 QVO 2TB

Corsair 750W Gold PSU, powering all this and an Aorus X570 Elite Wifi

NZXT Kraken Z63 AIO with 240mm

I want to believe that I am GPU bound seeing as how the 5800X, from what I've heard, is built for the 30 series NVIDIA cards. I could be wrong and have read something the wrong way, and if I did, I would love for someone to correct me.

Every driver that I could find is installed at its latest release (graphics, BIOS, etc).

Thanks for reading and hopefully you or someone you know can help me out a little. I'd really appreciate it.


Edit::

---

All temps seem to be perfectly fine, mid 60C on the CPU
Little high on the GPU, but not life threatening (70-75C while playing)
GPU time is sub 30ms at all times, CPU time is low to mid 30s while playing)

due to lack of any othre suggestions so far, I'll throw my hat into the ring...


FPS drops are not my thing per say, as I'm not a gamer.
all I can add is if you have your PC as lean and clean as you can make it, that's part of the battle.
sadly, the other parts may be outside your control like; number of users of your network, bandwidth, line attenuation, signal to noise ratio, etc.
but things you can control are;

• reboot modem/router/pc
• delete restore points
• turn off hibernation
• empty web browser cache
• delete system temp files
• scan Windows for system corruption
• scan drive for file corruption
• disable unwanted scheduled tasks
• disable unnecessary startup services
• disable scheduled defragging
• trim any SSD's
• turn off Timeline and Activity History, and all things Microsoft Telemetry based
• empty recycle bin
• delete log files and error reports
• remove old Windows Updates files
• cleanup software installer and distribution caches
• delete unwanted programs
• remove any browser extensions
• pause any online cloud storage synchronising (OneDrive, DropBox)

CCleaner or Glary Disk Cleaner or the inbuilt cleanmgr command can do most of those points.
ShutUp10 by O&O Software can stop a lot of telemetry items.
other things to try;

• create another user account and login under that profile
• check for firmware updates for modem/router and PC BIOS

do a web speed check - go to www.speedtest.net and post the results.
has there been any changes in the time frame that the FPS rates have dropped?
like new software or hardware, or extra users on the network?
