I recently bought a 9070XT and I'm waiting to upgrade my CPU. I've installed the recommended drivers, but in games like Hitman 3 and GTA V, I'm only getting around 60 FPS at 1080p on high settings. I have a Ryzen 7 3800X, and I'm wondering if this poor performance is due to a bottleneck, as I didn't expect it to be this bad.

One possibility is that your monitor might be limiting you to 60Hz, which could explain the FPS cap. Make sure to check that V-Sync isn't enabled. I recommend using the AMD Adrenaline software to track your CPU and GPU usage to see if there's a bottleneck. Also, consider enabling Virtual Super Resolution to render games at 1440p, which might enhance your FPS and image quality.
I've got a 165Hz monitor, so that's not the issue. And V-Sync is off. Is Super Resolution necessary if I'm just gaming at 1080p?
