PC Underperforming

[DirtyRift]

So last month, I built a new pc consisting of the following parts, and everything went smoothly in the building process. I decided to run some GTA V benchmarks recently at the highest settings besides frame scaling which was turned off, I had about an average of 45 fps, 60 at most. I'm very confused at these results, and I am wondering if it's just the game in general or it is my computer overall. All of these tests are with the stock configurations (I'm pretty new in the PC building world). If someone can suggest to me something I might've done wrong, I would appreciate if you did so.

Single stick of ram.

 

And be more specific. Is your gpu 100% under load? What resolution used?

[DakotaWebber]

whats your resolution?

what are your usages?

download hwmonitor or msi afterburner with rivatuner so you can see some stats such as if youre overheating, hitting maximum usage, hitting power limits etc

[NineEyeRon]

Monitor specs always help here along with display resolution.

Single stick of memory is not ideal, especially with a Ryzen CPU.

Maxed at 60FPS? Was Vsync enabled?
Were you testing GTA V at 4k resolution (3840x2160)?

- Monitor | 1920x1080

- GTA V was at max settings besides V-Sync, Frame-scaling, and Motion-Blur Strength which are all off/zero

- Question: If I were to buy 2 sticks of 8gb of ram, or just buy 4 sticks of 8gb of ram instead, would it be ideal over 1 stick of 16gb of ram, or 2 sticks of 16gb of ram?

After re-running the test to figure out what load all of my components were under, I will post them. Thank you for all the comments, and I apologize for not being too specific.

Throughout the GTA V Benchmark test, the CPU, Memory,  and GPU were all around 50 percent.
