Is the graphics lag caused by the server, or my graphics card?

I don't know if this still applies but back in the day turning off brackets in your overview settings helped a lot during big fights. For some reason drawing 2D brackets in 3D space took up more resources than you might think and didn't scale well with large numbers of ships/drones on screen.

The calculation for projecting the location of a 3D coordinate to a 2D plane based on a certain perspective and FOV is a ***** and a half and is very slow. Though if they some how handle it directly in DirectX it might be faster and something else is causing it...

When was the last time you checked and cleaned all fans and heatsinks?

The CPU & GPU may be throttling because of heat.

I've cooked two gaming-grade laptops (one internal power supply, and two video boards on the other).
