Anything that limits power on your system could cause issues with gaming.  Slap that baby in performance mode, and game with the best of us.  Depending on how the balance mode is cutting corners, it could limit everything from CPU speeds to (and I'm guessing here) Possibly bus speed.  There are quite a few tweaks you can to with a Ryzen 9.  Did you do anything in the bios after install?  What Ram did you put in the system?  I would really need more information, what motherboard are you using?  
 
Short Short answer.  Play your games in performance mode.

I didn't mess with the bios settings other than docp, the ram and motherboard are listed in the description. Motherboard is asus tuf x570 plus wifi and the ram is trident z 3600mhz cl16

I believe ryo0hki0 meant this:> Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options - then select performance or high performance power plan. Or in Nvidia control panel :> Manage 3d settings\scroll down to power management mode and select prefer maximum performance for the titles you play.

Oh I did that, that’s what stopped the frame drops. I’m more so just wondering why the pc has issues with such easy to run games on balanced power settings.

That's just how it is.  The GPU has like 3 or 4 different power/clock states between the 210mhz idle and 1800mhz full tilt.  If the game is CPU or framerate limiter bound and the graphics are relatively basic, the GPU will select a power state for itself below the max, based on the load it detects.  Then it will get confused when a higher graphical load comes along that actually needs a higher power state to maintain framerates and it will take a few seconds to figure that out.  The way around this is to use "prefer max performance" but to apply it on a per application basis, so the card will still idle at 210mhz when nothing important is running.  You can use the ATI Tool "fuzzy cube" ultra light load to get 6000fps, max power state (~50% power) at max clock, it isn't CPU bound at insane framerates.
 
With these modern high end cards, there is such a huge gap between what the card is capable of at full power vs. what it takes to do desktop tasks like productivity apps, internet browsing or playing a normal res video.  Late last year I installed an SSD and W10E LTSC on a 2006 vintage "multimedia" laptop, even with a proper GPU driver (Geforce Go 7600) it couldn't play a streaming 720P video in a browser without dropping frames.  Youtube barely existed when that machine was released.  Though it could play a 720P file in MPC or stream the right format of 720P into VLC.

In balance and power saver modes in windows, Windows is always looking for ways to lower its power consumption.  It will make mistakes when playing games.  In a ideal world it would go HEY!  this guy is playing a game, ramp it all up!  But, when your playing a game in balance its still looking for things it can shut down. (to save power).  Its even worse when your playing games on a laptop and its on battery, If you got two video options,  Integrated and a second more beefy mobile card (built in or not). balance can force you out of using the beefy card over the integrated graphics.
