there are a number of youtube videos about boosting FPS for Valheim. I did a bunch of stuff and out in the world i get about 100fps, and about 70-80 near my building projects. It goes down to about 60 in my portal hub. all at 1080p full screen. GTX 1060 6gb Ryzen 5 1600.
I'm not a hardware expert by any means but I feel like your setup should be crushing this game at 1440 even on max settings. but again, i'm no expert.
do you have GeForce experience? are your drivers up to date?

yeah i have geforce experience and my drivers are up to date. yeah, it seems weird to me that it caps at 40 near my building. is there something in particular that would drop FPS? do i use too many torches or something?

You can test the torches by checking your fps at your base and away from your base.
