RX 6800 XT Low GPU Usage

GPU: RX 6800 XT Sapphire Pulse (Fresh from the store)

CPU: Ryzen 7 3800X

RAM: 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4

Motherboard: Asrock B550AM Gaming

PSU: Seasonic 1000W

 

I'm playing in 1080p and I'm getting very low performance out of this card, I got more fps with my old RX 5700 XT.

My GPU usage jumps around a LOT, mostly between 10-60% when playing games. I understand it's not always supposed to be at full usage, but I'm not getting high fps at all. Skyrim, I'm getting 30fps in cities, assassins creed origins, I'm getting 40 fps, lowering graphic settings literally does nothing. I'm even getting stutters in minecraft and truck simulators. People playing in 4k get more fps than me. 

Nothing is overheating, GPU temps never really exceed 70 degrees celcius, CPU temps never exceed 70 degrees celcius either. CPU is not bottlenecking anything as its usage never exceeds 60%. 

I already set my pc displays to High Performance, I overclocked my GPU in AMD software, I am running RAM in XMP and dual channels, I've tested every single possible driver for the GPU, I've messed around in the BIOS, I couldn't find any settings for the gpu. I've triple checked all the PSU cabling, everything is connected perfectly, but no matter what I can't get my GPU usage to be consistent. 

When I run the Kombustor stress test, everything's perfect, GPU usage is at a consistent 99%-100% there. In some games, it only reaches 99% usage in menu screens, but not in the actual game. In some games, it reaches 99% when I alt tab out of the game, but drops once again when I go back in. 

I ran the Userbenchmark test and my CPU is performing above expectations, card's performing WAY above expectations, SSD and HDD are working normally, but each time I run it, RAM is always performing way below potential, warning me I should enable XMP and use dual channel, even though I already do. 

Could this be a problem with RAM? Or did I waste $1300 on a faulty card.
