    Yes 

    I've figured it out just a moment ago.

     Capped the FPS VIA config to 100.  GPU was able to keep a steady rythm. Few spikes but nothing out of the unordinary.

      Thankfully it only takes a tiny spike to lower the temperature dramatically, if its still not satisfactory you could always go a little lower. Another option might be to either undevolt a bit or put on a negative power limit there is a chance that it runs cooler actually gives it more thermal headroom to give you more fps. This is common for hardware that is on its thermal limit vega cards are a prime example.
