Game runs suspiciously bad at 1440p.
I'm getting 25-30 fps with DLSS Quality all settings Ultra and RTX ON.
Which would be pretty good if I wasn't using an RTX 3090. I've just installed it to check out the performance I could get and was kind of disappointed here. I've clean installed the display driver, all other games work fine, rebooted the system, base core and mem clock, etc etc. I've also tried downscaling, obviously, though I feel I shouldn't have to with this card (especially at sub 4K) - no change to avg FPS at 1440 RTX OFF or 1080 RTX ON, but 1080p RTX OFF runs at 120-130 FPS avg. (All Ultra). What's really weird, though, is that no matter the settings, if I leave the game running in Borderless mode (vs alt tabbing out of Fullscreen), the game all of a sudden runs completely smoothly behind whatever else is open. As soon as I click back into the game, say, to play it, the frames drop back to that 25-30 mark. I would greatly appreciate if anyone can figure this out, as this game really does look good, and I want to get what I paid for as well.

Edit: Since this post I have tried numerous things. Played with G-sync, putting Cyberpunk on highest priority, actually everything in user DC9V's post. I even updated my BIOS and turned resize BAR on. The one thing I haven't tried now is I think a clean Windows install, which I want to avoid as much as possible honestly. I also want to mention that my frames in COD Warzone were also unsavory, but turning Gsync off seemed to work, but then after some play there seemed to be some latency or memory issues? Something is jank here, and it might be an issue that reaches outside of just Cyberpunk, but to be honest, I'm out of my knowledge and expertise when it comes to actually diagnosing the problem here. Therefore, I'm updating this post with basically all the information I can to see if someone who knows what's up can clue together the problem.
EDIT 2: Found a solution. From Nvidia Control Panel (Not Windows') under "Manage 3D Settings" set "Power Management Mode" to high performance. Reboot and everything seems to be working great (and my temps are also rising; seems I need more fans than just the two that came with my 4000D AF). I'll update again if it stops working but for now this seems like it fixed the problem. Whew. (BTW, it seems like NCP was limiting GPU clock speeds for some reason. I ran COD Cold War and this became apparent.) I still don't know why this worked or why the game ran fine before the fix when it was in the background so if you have any theories on that it would be much appreciated.
EDIT 3: One reboot later and all of a sudden, same problem, unstable clock speeds. It was nice while it lasted?
