Ryzen and Game Issues

Hello,

I am having a lot of issues with games not working now that I have updated my system. The short of it is that I am running Windows 10, Ryzen 5 1600, and GTX 980Ti with 3 monitors.. I will link the full build and all hardware below. Games like Dying Light, CS:GO, and Left 4 Dead 2 will not run on my system. Or they do not run well. Left 4 Dead 2 will install and start, but will not even let me put my cursor on that screen. CS:Go behaves the same. And finally, Dying Light refuses to save settings and if I leave that screen in any fashion, it freezes up and I can no longer move my icon back over, including alt + tab. Is it just because of the new architecture?

100% Clean. Not that I did not try to go with the old one. But, AMD OverDrive did not like that the AMD Athlon X4 860K had magically became an AMD Ryzen 5 1600. It crashed the system out and I was forced to clean install. BIOS, Windows, and Nvidia drivers are all up to date.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I have been battling with my Ryzen 7 1700 system since I built it 2 weeks ago. Games don't run as smoothly but it is a new platform. When I open Ghost Recon wild lands it may work right away or I may need to restart it. Ryzen is very inconsistent with performance. My main issue now is transfer speeds over my network to my server. With my Intel laptop, I get consistent 112MB transfer speeds over gigabit but the Ryzen system is 79MB max (SSD to SSD). I am not new to the computer building world and I know it's not a driver update. I am wondering now if I should just return everything and go X99/6800k.

I'm currently using a Ryzen 1700, on an MSI X370 Gaming carbon board, but with an RX580 and I can't say I have any of your problems. I downloaded all latest Drivers/Software from MSI website on a clean install of Windows 10 Creators update. The only issue I have currently is every so often I get very bad input lag in some games but I'm sure that down to either my Corsair drivers or something game optimization related.

I am thinking of swapping out the MSI B350 tomahawk Arctic for the MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon. I think my network transfer issues are due to the Realtek Nic in MSI B350 Tomahawk. As for gaming issues, I just think these games aren't optimized yet. The only game I play at the moment is Ghost Recon Wildlands which is a very demanding game for any system. I think my loading issues are software not hardware based. Once the game starts it runs fine with my GTX 1080.

It would be a wise choice to jump to the X370, may solve a few issues for you. I know the Gaming Pro have had a good few BIOS updates as of late which has improved things a lot. Certainly, noticeable performance improvements each time, especially in the OC region.
