I just spent about $1500 & built a new PC. Ryzen 1700x, gtx 1070, 32gb ram, m.2 drive - to replace my 4 yr old Intel machine, just wasn't cutting it with video editing any more, I needed more speed
Put it together, fire it up, everything seems ok. Go to use some my video editor Davinci Resolve and the performance is WORSE than my 4 year old intel. Its quite noticeable. I run some benchmarks and they are brutal. Supposedly this cpu should do about 1500+ on cinebencz, but I get 917. In open GL would be 110 or so, I can't crack 70. Same thing when I did some 3dmark tests.. clearly something is wrong. How can this OC'd 3700 8 core Ryzen not be able to scrub a timeline without choppiness, and struggle to display a transition in a clip?
I was able to get my ram up to 2400 and OC'd the CPU to 3700... there is no difference.
What am I missing? BIOS shows CPU at 3700, RAM at 2400 speed. Cool temps, seems stable & fine. But performance is a joke. I feel so sick to my stomach. I spent all this money for nothing.
Please any help? I dont know what else to do or where to go from here. What could be causing poor performance when BIOS shows everything up and running fine? I have the most recent BIOS, most recent driver from nvidia, most recent chipset from AMD... updated windows... dont know where else to turn
