Sims 4 Lag with new Graphics card

I recently upgraded my graphics card from an AMD Radeon RX 580R

after it blew, to a NVIDIA RTX 2080

After the upgrade I did a windows refresh and used DDU to make sure AMD drivers were gone and have confirmed the NVIDIA drivers were installed correctly. Ever since this upgrade, Sims 4 claims the graphics card was not recognised and the game runs poorly. Stuttering, lagging. Low FPS.  Etc 

I know it's using the NVIDIA card because the task manager displays it's using GPU 0 NVIDIA. 

I have 16GB RAM

i7-7600K

850W PSU

Hardware wise I'm fine. All other games run fine. It's just Sims 4 being weird.
