Turned pc on this morning and tried too games and they are both running ****** compared too last night, deep rock galactic i had locked too 120fps and hots 120fps and both would hardly dip, now I loaded up hots and im getting 80 ish and deep rock 50, what should I be looking at? GPU usuage says 100% cpu temps fine, used ddu and reinstalled drivers, dno what else too check,

Are you sure Windows isn't downloading an update in the background?

Drivers drivers drivers. If you've already tried nvidias latest, try them again.

Then try older ones you had before.

Also try updating mobo drivers and check things on cpu z (eg ram hasn't defaulted to like 1333mhz stock or something silly

Have a look in your windows update history. Is windows replacing with a generic driver? Auto update sometimes screws up

Also if you have any kind of auto update from nvidia id turn that off too. I never trust auto updates for this reason you're having
