Regretting my upgrade.

Hi I recently built a PC using a Ryzen 1600 and 16GB of 2933mhz DDR4 RAM; also using a Gigabyte Gaming 3 Motherboard. This was to replace my old intel i7 3770 system using a 1080Ti which I presumed must have been bottlenecked on such old hardware. However upon running benchmarks and gaming, there's absolutely no perceptible performance difference apart from on multi-core cpu benchmarks.

I usually game on a 1440p monitor, would going to 4K make better use of the new hardware or have I essentially wasted money?

Thanks

Hi, I tried the following suggestions. OCing does increase benchmark scores a little however it doesn't seem to give me any improvement in gaming applications. My guess is that if games were more multicore orientated then I would have seen some gains.

Yes it was all done on a fresh install. I've unparked cores and put an OC of 3.9Ghz on. However I doubt this will translate into real term gains on my GPU as there seems to have never been a bottleneck with the old 3770 it seems. It'd still be useful if I did anything requiring multi-core but I don't.
