It's significantly lagging, I've tried all possible solutions, but it keeps performing poorly.

Here’s a revised version of your text:
My system specifications are as follows. I have an RTX 2080TI without overclocking (tried it and it didn’t help), and a Ryzen 2700x also without overclocking. My RAM is 16GB DDR4 at 3200MHz. I’ve installed games on a NVMe SSD and am playing in 1080p at 144Hz. As a result, I consistently experience FPS problems with almost every title I try. This PC has been in my hands for about a year, and I haven’t identified the root cause or found a solution. I’ve tried nearly everything—everything I could do.
Below is a list of games along with their average FPS. The biggest case: I’ve been playing Days Gone, and my friends have seen frames averaging around 140fps at maximum settings (1080p). Even when I lower the settings to at least 100, I still get around 70fps, often dropping into the low 50s. The lowest I’ve recorded is 49fps so far. It’s not a stutter; it’s just a steady drop until I move away from the area, then frames jump back up. Even when I return, they can fall below 60 in empty scenes. Despite all adjustments, benchmarks show my specs never fall to 49—let alone below 100. This shouldn’t happen with a machine like this.
Here are more examples of my struggles:
- Call of Duty: Warzone – usually around 60fps, but often drops to 52fps at 1080p. Changing settings doesn’t help much.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops, Cold War – about 60fps with frequent dips to 55fps.
- Cyberpunk 2077 – around 40fps without ray tracing, 30fps with it.
- Horizon: Zero Dawn – 55fps at 1080p; changing settings only adds a few fps.
- DayZ: Standalone – 50fps at 1080p; no noticeable improvement from higher settings.
- World of Warcraft – 52fps at 1080p; switching settings gives minimal gain.
- Valorant – 120fps at 1080p, but even then it’s not consistently stable.
- Escape from Tarkov – 50fps at 1080p, often drops to 45fps.
These are just a few instances; this pattern appears across nearly every game I play. Performance is extremely poor. With this build, I should easily reach 60fps and likely surpass 100fps in most titles, even at their highest settings.
I’ve reinstalled Windows multiple times over the past year, run numerous benchmarks—everything checks out. I’ve updated drivers, swapped RAM and GPU, even tried overclocking and underclocking. In every test, temperatures stayed normal. Even when playing at 1440p, results remain consistent.
I’ve also checked YouTube comparisons and seen others with similar builds achieving much better frame rates. My own performance is still far from ideal. If anyone has any suggestions or tips, I’d really appreciate it—I’m really hoping this issue gets resolved.
Yes, XMP is activated and the memory is placed in the appropriate dual-channel slots.
Current usage is stable across both CPU and GPU. Considering reducing performance.
No restrictions at all, the core clocks on both the GPU and CPU remain in place as intended. I also have an AIO on the CPU, and temperatures never exceed 70°C. The GPU stays between 65-70°C as well.
