Check your CPU performance; it seems to be underperforming. It might not be the GPU issue since it works well elsewhere.

It seems you're looking for ways to securely store your important data. A free Microsoft account provides 5GB of space, while a free Google account offers 15GB, totaling 20GB. There are likely additional cloud storage options available, and the main idea is to keep your valuable files safe and accessible. Anything else can be re-downloaded if needed.
Before assuming a different format, consider running a benchmark such as 3DMark and comparing it to other scores using the same GPU. If your GPU performs poorly relative to others, it may indicate a hardware or driver problem. At that stage, reformatting could be worthwhile, but if you're already using DDU with up-to-date drivers, the issue is unlikely there. Personally, I'd consider returning the card. Also, note that running games at higher settings might reveal performance changes—some titles defer tasks to the CPU on lower settings, which could affect results. With a 3900X this shouldn't be a major concern, but it's still worth testing.
Ensure all PSU cables are securely connected. My setup had a problem where the 24-pin wasn’t fully inserted, causing bad frames and frequent crashes until I completed the connection properly. If the issue persists, consider a fresh Windows installation or reinstalling your drivers.
