Question I Feel Like My PC is Underperforming

Hey everyone,
About 2-3 years ago I decided to build a new PC, and after going thru all the updates/troubleshooting I could think of, I don't believe my computer is performing how it should be. I could be wrong, but I'm not sure.
Below are two tests I have ran today.

Let me know what details y'all need. I appreciate the help, I've given up.
First thing you need to do is enable the DOCP setting for your RAM . Your RAM is slowing everything ...
 
Yeah if you've built systems before, prior to Ryzen, Xmp wouldn't have mattered as much and wouldn't give you much of a reason to go looking. However, Xmp has been around for a long long time and the way AMD design their Ryzen CPU's highly depend on ram speed, for it's memory controller inside cpu to perform.

Yes it’s been awhile since I’ve dove deep into stuff. Haven’t had the time to properly diagnose the problem, but I’ll for sure try and get that enabled when I get home. Will post update! Thank you
 
In addition to underperforming RAM (which is in fact performing as expected), your SSDs and GPU are rather lackluster vis-a-vis identical components in other users' builds.

There is something funky going on somewhere above and beyond enabling XMP. more information needed...

Well, cpu performance is behind those as well so we'll see what happens.


I'm wondering if they'll see expo with their current ram, not just regular xmp/docp. Expo is just another profile the ram has to have and motherboard to understand.

After you get the ram speed sorted you might want to look at updating the bios and also the chipset driver if it's old.

This might of just been it. My GPU still seems to be underperforming a little, but this might be putting it up against OC. I've never gotten into OC before, does anyone have good first steps to check out?

Thank you all for the help so far.
 
Id try your games rather than rely only on UB. Difference between non OC ~ OC cards isn't that huge and your cpu is capable running any card of that generation and beyond really.

Since 50 series, 570 drivers have been a mess. Last known good driver for 30/40 series is 566.36 which im still using for 3080ti.


566.36 driver:
