PC not performing as it should

[theAExample]

Hey guys!

Following "problem": I've had this PC for about 2 years and I just keep wondering if it shouldn't be hitting higher FPS numbers. I got a 3080 and it feels like most games are often pretty laggy when using maxed settings.
(I will list the specs in a second) I haven't done much, because I kinda get overwhelmed with all the possible solutions and I don't know where to start.. I tried benchmarks, such as userbenchmark and 3DMark and apparently everythings fine but it doesnt feel like that. Also, I do have XMP enabled, and I think all drivers are up to date but I'm not 100% sure they are. Oh and if anyone is wondering about temps: My temps are kinda always fine, rather low than high. Only happened like 3 times that the AIO started overheating but I solved that issue.
As in term of how it lags: Rarely there are lag spikes, but most games just feel unsmooth. I'd greatly appreciate any advice!

Gotta be a bit more specific, can you get some gaming "benchmarks" with your rig ?

And which res are you playing at ?

You can also check if resizable BAR is activated. It should help with some demanding games. (cpu-z is an app that can tell you if rebar is activated).

As for drivers, you can use DDU to completely remove your video drivers then reinstall them with the latest version driver.

Apart from that, you can always use the nuke option that consists of completely wiping your boot drive and reinstalling Windows. It is time consuming but usually gives good results.

Hope that helps.

Oh sorry! Completely forgot to mention the res. 
I play on 1440p. And benchmarks wise, Ill see if I got the 3DMark one. 
About userbenchmark, it kinda always says that the servers are full.

I just did a Time Spy benchmark, hope this is what u ask for!

Gotta be honest, Im not exactly a big fan of the full nuke but Ill keep that in the back of my head
