7950x3d and rtx4090 - not getting expected performance

Back again with another update.
I’ve uninstalled process lasso and the parking tool to get back to baseline and focus on bios settings.

I decided to connect only my 38 inch monitor and try to maximize perf on it first.

The results today are very strange to me, using CPUID to watch, it looked like neither my GPU or CPU are working very hard yet my frame rates are low. It was fairly smooth at these low frame rates and visuals were fantastic.

Settings were ultra with terrain LOD at 400 and object LOD at 200, and it seemed my frames stayed about the same no matter if I used TAA, DLSS Quality, or DLSS Ultra Performance. Even switching from DX12 to DX11 didn’t change things much.
