Agreed.

I use https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner

I opened the program and clicked on the Gear(settings) icon. I then click on monitoring tab. I then click on System RAM(aka VRAM or graphics RAM). A checkmark appears. I then scroll down and click on Show in OSD. I do that over and over for each resource I want to monitor while I'm gaming. If I alt + tab out of the game to check on temperatures the load would immediately lessen and the temp. wouldn't mean diddly. After I have all the resources checked and OSD enabled I click on OK. Mike suggested temperature as a possible cause so that's a resource I will pay attention to. I grab a...

My CPU was at 48C and my GPU was at 66C. Nothing close to the thermal wall so thermal throttling isn't the issue.

He also mentioned voltages. I reset my PC and enter my BIOS and enter the Health Monitor section. I look to the 12V reading. That's the one that feeds the card. Look at your PSU and you will see +12V. That's the guy that feeds the GFX card. Within my BIOS I should see 12V or VERY close to that number. I should never see 11.** within my BIOS. That suggests a PSU issue. I just checked and it says 12.08V. I then enter Windows and I open HwInfo and HwMonitor. They show 12.08V and 12.07V. This means I can trust them and I know voltage isn't an issue.
