Also you might try uninstalling geforce experience. That has been know to cause issues in some cases.
Also, be sure there are no poorly written malware running in the background hogging clock cycles.
Like Clutchc said, post your GPU model and your PSU exact model.

Also, even though I have no experience with Ryzen yet, many people has posted that you should set your system's power profile to high performance in order to ensure your CPU works as expected for games and productivity applications so give that a try if you haven't already.

Install a program like Msi Afterburner, and set up the on screen display to show the FPS, GPU usage, Every CPU core usage. Whichever component is near 100% while playing is likely the limiting factor.

If one or more of your CPU cores are near 100%, the limiting factor is your CPU (the CPU is restricting the frame rates). If your GPU is at 100%, the GPU is your limiting factor.
