Have you tried to test if it runs better on Vulcan?

Unfortunately Baldur's Gate 3 is more CPU "heavy" in crowded places such as Act 3 but I'm also fairly certain in your case its just the game performing a little poorly after the last major patch it had.

(edit) Turn off Ambient Occlusion from the settings, this is also very resource hogging and see if that helps.

What kind of cooling system have you got, is that adequate enough for your system?

Also trying to limit your frames to something your CPU can handle like 60 should also help if its uncapped, if screen tears you just turn on vsync.
