Reduced performance after Update

My specs are Ryzen 5 5600X, 16GB, RTX 3060 Ti, installed on SSD. My display is 1440p/144Hz

Prior to the update I consistently got above or around 60 FPS (up to 90 or so in some areas), playing at a mix of Medium with some specific settings at low, RT reflections ON, and Balanced DLSS. After the update at the exact same settings I’m struggling at 45 fps in many areas such as Docktown or the spirit market in the Crossroads. The champion fight in Treviso’s rooftops chugged down to 30. In general hitting the 60 fps mark is much more difficult/less consistent despite nothing changing.

I also noticed that GPU usage is not nearly as high - I’ve gone from using ~90% usage to like 50%. Meanwhile CPU usage is much higher and seems to be the limiting factor. As a result even lowering my graphics settings doesn’t really net much performance gain… Pre-patch this wasn’t the case and performance was better.
