Help with rtx 5060ti 16gb

Hello everyone, two weeks ago I bought myself a new graphics card - an RTX 5060 TI 16GB. I installed it in my PC and didn't notice much of a difference (I had an RTX3060 12GB before). I reinstalled the drivers - it didn't help. I reinstalled Windows - it also didn't help. I've started experiencing freezes and FPS drops in online games, which weren't there before. In CS2, it can drop from 220 to 180 at a time with micro-freezing. Fortnite also has FPS drops. In No Man's Sky, I started experiencing severe freezes while I'm just running around planets and taking off in ships. However, in Cyberpunk 2077, my FPS has increased significantly and I haven't seen any issues like this. My power supply has a 750W reserve. The processor is an i513400f (I checked before buying it, there shouldn't be a bottleneck). Honestly, I don't know what the problem is anymore. The graphics card passes all stability tests with flying colors, but I'm having issues with games. I can return this graphics card under warranty and buy a new RTX 5060 Ti, or I can get an RX 9060 XT. I'm asking for advice from knowledgeable people on what the problem might be and how I can fix it, or is it easier to return it under warranty and buy a new one? I play 2K, if that matters.
