RTX 3090 performance issues

I was lucky enough to get an RTX 3090 FE off of Best Buy last week and finally received it on Saturday. I installed it and reinstalled graphics drivers. The first game I tried was Watch Dogs: Legion. With the Ultra graphics preset, with ray tracing and DLSS OFF, I can't even hit 60 FPS. I'm not sure if this is an optimization issue, or my card is defective or something. I could be somewhat CPU limited with my 3700X, but I'm not sure about that. I am going to be getting a 5900x when they drop this week, and I have an x570 board on the way. It could also be a resolution issue as I only have a 1080p monitor, but I plan on upgrading to a 1440p or 4k monitor soon. Other games like COD: MW run over 100 FPS maxed out with RT on. In RDR2 I can get 60 FPS with a mix of Ultra and High settings. MSFS doesn't hit above 30 with mixed Ultra and High settings. I could hit upwards of 45 with the same settings on my1080 ti, and I saw about the same performance in Watch Dogs: Legion with the 3090 as I did with the 1080 ti. The card hasn't hit more than 70c either. Anyone have any insights?

Just received my EVGA FTW3 ultra and can confirm, ultra preset 4k not hitting 60fps, even overclocked and almost locked over 2k MHZ i am only getting 45-50 fps 9900k sitting at 5ghz. this isn't right. something must be wrong surely? Though unlike you i do have rtx on max and dlss on balanced.

that is the norm if u are using without DLSS. The game is poorly optimized. Not the GPU's fault. It is Ubisoft's fault
