I just upgraded my computer last month. And the performance isnt as good as expected especially when compared to benchmark videos.
For example
gta v on ultra
My pc runs at 40 to 50. Drops down to 30 when alot of stuff is happening at once.
Youtube video with same spec would run at 70 to 80 fps
My spec:
Gigabyte ab250m
Ryzen 5 1500x
Asus gtx 1060 6gb
8 gb ram 2666mhz
3tb hdd

3. One reason why your performance maybe low is because of your parked cores. Simply, a parked core basically means it's disabled and you do not want that. Here is how to identify if your cores are parked/disabled:

Open up windows task manager > Click on the 'performance tab' at the top > at the bottom click on 'open resource monitor' > click on the 'CPU' tab at the top > On the right you will see graphs. Make sure at the top of each graph where it says at "CPU 0", CPU 1 etc.. and make sure it does NOT say "CPU 0 - Parked".

Look at this video too:

If any of the cores state they are parked or greyed out, do this:
Go to control panel > click on 'hardware and sound' > then 'power options' > then select 'high performance'.
If you can't find it then click on the 'hide additional plans' tab and it should be there.

4. Make sure you're Monitor is plugged into your GPU and not motherboard, you don't want to be running on integrated graphics!

5. Uninstall your driver using DDU:

6. Download Speccy and see if your all your parts are there and are functional, also check the temperature.

7. Take out the RAM and play games with each individual one. If the performance is better then you know the RAM taken out is faulty
