Why is REVIT so slow?

I have a very powerful workstation (i9-10900X, 64GB ram, RTX 4000 GPU) but when I navigate 3D views in REVIT, I still only get like 10-20 FPS i.e. very choppy. If I look at my CPU/GPU usage when I am rotating a 3D model, they are both basically at idle ~10% usage. I have checked the Graphics settings within REVIT and I have "Hardware Rendering" and "Draw Visible Elements Only" turned on .
I have Revit 2021, 2022 and 2023 all installed and it doesnt seem to matter which one I use, they all perform about the same, very choppy whenever rotating or navigating around a 3D model. My models arent huge either, just regular residential or small commercial buildings. I just wan't smoother imagery and I feel like my PC should be able to handle it. It's kinda hard on the eyes when you are looking at this choppy slideshow all day. It would be a lot more comfortable on the eyes if I could run it at a minimum of 60 if not more (I have a 144hz display so the higher, the better). When I view, for example, an IFC. I can rotate around and look at the structure from different angles and it runs super smoothly, it's far more gentle on the eyes and make it a lot easier to work with, especially over the course of an 8 hour workday.
Does anyone know any tips/tricks to make better use of my hardware to make REVIT run smoother?
