Vsync seems to limit framerates (in ME3)
So, I've been having an issue while playing ME3 where my framerates hover around 47/48 fps at 4k with Vsync on, while GPU usage is nowhere near maxed out. This is not exactly a problem, because the g...

Do you have a 144Hz monitor? If so, 48fps is a standard cap if you can't hit 72 and have vsync on.
I noticed that the games can have low framerates in areas where CPU and GPU usage aren't nearly maxed. I don't know why that is.

I can turn Vsync off, of course, which makes the fps jump up, but then the game becomes very jittery. I tried various variations (Vsync off, Amd enhanced sync, anti-lag), but nothing feels as good as the ingame Vsync.
Have you tried disabling vsync and setting a framerate cap?
Also worth noting: I have noticed that ME2 and ME3 sometimes break freesync, so if it feels "jittery", make sure it's actually functioning properly. In my case, my monitor will get locked at 67Hz. Try turning freesync off and on again in the monitor settings and see if that makes the game smoother with when vsync is off.
