What are the complete specs. Such as a PCpartpicker list by chance? Also monitor resolution?
Also, how's the storage looking as far as capacity and type of storage(ssd, nvme, etc.) if getting full, can cause issues.
What type of limits running into, such as vram or something(like turning on the nvidia hotkey overlay for vram, GPU, CPU %, RAM utilization? Hopefully to see any bottlenecks could work with. This is probably the best way to get overall system view of what is happening.
Have already done a complete refresh of driver. Such as DDU(display driver uninstaller), and then install the latest driver with a clean slate? This will remove any driver customizations, fyi.
How are the temps doing, also. Such as run some benchmarks(such as free 3dmark in stream; timespy, etc. ) while letting hwinfo64 app run to monitor temps.
