3070 Performance Issues?

Hi,
I finally got my hands on a 3070 Founders Edition today. I removed my old GPU (a 1660 Super), put in the 3070, and went to test its performance. However, I've found that the performance is barely better, if better at all. I don't have many intensive games installed yet, but so far I've tested the following:
  • CS:GO: FPS Benchmark map, I only receive ~350 fps compared to previously ~310 with the 1660S.
  • Raft: About the same, if not a bit less
  • Division 2: Didn't test 1660S, but ran benchmark at 1080p max settings and got 107fps, with 92% GPU and 64% CPU. Videos I found online got around 125 fps.
  • Currently installing RDR2 and hope to get a benchmark on that soon.
  • My UserBenchmark results: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/38163656. As you can see, my GPU is performing below average.
All my Nvidia drivers are fully up to date, with the latest driver from January 7 installed. I haven't fully uninstalled/reinstalled my drivers with DDU or my bios, but I want to see if there are any other options before I do those
I'm not sure if this is important, but I have a Tomahawk B450M and only a 3.0 PCIe 16.0x, and a Corsair RMx 550W PSU. Full specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3rq6K3
What can I do to fix this issue or determine the cause? Thanks.

TL;DR Performance with 3070 is barely if any better than previous 1660 Super, when it should be nearly twice as good.

Surely CS:GO is CPU bound? No?

I would say try running DDU all the way through first. It might not make a difference, but it's not that hard to do and will eliminate a lot of possible issues for it.

Sorry, quick question: Does running DDU simply involve downloading and launching it, selecting clean and restart, and then downloading the drivers from NVidia's website/GeForce Experience?

Almost. You have to do it in safe mode. Everything else is fine. To get to safe mode, restart your computer through the start menu while holding left shift. That will bring you into the startup repair menu. In there, go to troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings, then hit restart. It will boot up and ask which boot mode, select one of the safe modes, any of options 4 through 6 would work.
