Aside from the above posts, I'd say be patient. There will be driver updates... I'd guess a lot of what you're seeing is what happens with nearly every new GPU launch. Take 'em a few weeks to iron out the gremlins!

No skimping champ when nividia recommend a 750 plus it was OK on my previous gpu. Thanks though.
The bare minimum especially with your i9 what's another £100?

Edit: it may not solve your problem but worth considering
Nvidia is being extremely conservative with that number to not look bad.
min reality many people including reviewers have had issues with small power supplies, even 850w is sometimes a problem. I would go straight to 1000w

Congrats on your card - nice one.
Did you use something like DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to clean the drivers before installing new card? I don't think PSU would cause hitching, more likely a crash. Worth doing driver clean, and free.

What psu would you recommend 1000w?
Get the psu and join the mile high clubOnly reason I haven't gone completely gaga and gone with an in-stock 3090 is my ****ing 650w PSU
lol, but in all honesty im still waiting for my 3080...Tbh i'm using a 750W EVGA GQ gold rated psu and its perfectly fine. I'm pulling around 580-600w at the wall full tilt which gives me some measure at least so i know i have head room.
Despite what everyone says, you really don't need a 1000w psu for a 3090... its madness.

PSUs are cheap...... also probably good to have an 850 plus for the OC aib 3090s. The real power hungry ones and not like the power constrained zotac 3090
Do you have an i9 10900k as well?

Yeah pal everything on.
So the GPU is throttling because the PSU isn't up to it ? I don't think that's how it works.
What resolution?
