Hello everyone, this is my first post and I seriously don't know where to place this so I placed this in Systems Category. I am new to AMD's particular chipsets as I have always used Intel's Dual Core 1.80 (1st Gen I think) for 12 years since I couldn't afford back then on any new models. When Ryzen 5 2400g came out I decided that it is now time for some upgrade as it is downright powerful and cheap.

Anyway, here's my CPU's specifics:

CPU: Ryzen 5 2400g running at 3.6GHz with usual temperatures ranging from 29°C to 40°C at with Firefox, Speccy, and Videos on VLC running (I do not want to overclock it as I only have a Wraith Stealth but will upgrade it to Deep Cool Gammax 400 someday) and goes up to 75°C on Gaming

Mother Board: Gigabyte B450m DS3H installed everything on the bundled DVD

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 3200MHz RGB (The board under-clocked it to 2133 I O.C.ed it to its original specifics of 3.2GHz and allocated 2 GB of it to VRAM. 14.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 399MHz. Is this correct? Hopefully it doesn't overheat)

SSD: SanDisk SSD PLUS 120GB (Operating System and Avira)

HDD: Seagate Green 2TB (For Storage)

PSU: Cooler Master Elite 500 Ver. 3

Case: Generic, specifically it is a Genesis brand with no fans inside. Will buy a Thermal Take GT someday.

OS: Windows 10 Pro


I've installed everything about the board from the DVD but I refuse to touched the BIOs just in case I accidentally wreck it. Windows 10 hadn't been updated to 1803 yet due to my slow net.

Driver Easy pointed out that I have to update 10 drivers specifically:

AMD GPIO Controller - 45kb
AMD High Definition Audio Controller - 48kb
AMD High Definition Audio Device - 167.1kb
AMD PSP 10.0 Device - 2.4mb
AMD Radeon (TM) RX Vega 11 Graphics - 663.6mb
AMD SATA Controller - 139.2kb
AMD SMBus - 11.9kb
Realtek High Definition Controller - 184.2mb
Realtek High Definition Controller (Yeah there's two) - 184.2mb
Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller - 4.3mb

So should I update first?


I tested out the Vega 11 Graphics om Dead Rising 2 Off The Record and it is horrendously slow like 10 to 15 FPS, making it downright unplayable and these are the lowest settings. Is there something wrong with my PC or is it just that I hadn't updated everything yet?
 
Solution
Install drivers from AMD.com only. Third party driver installers may install malware and trackers in your pc. Also download AmdB450 chipset drivers and graphics drivers. They will install all necessary drivers.
Audio and other drivers can be found in the support page of your motherboard

Haven't downloaded anything except for the windows yet. The rest came from the Motherboard's DVD

Already did. Which is how I got 18.12.3.

Well first: Try to stay in one forum when someone is helping you. The moderators don't like multiple threads for one issue.

And, I would check your BIOS settings and note what it is running at there. Open task manager and see what it is running at there. If you used CPU-Z, it will give you a number (such as 400 MHz) you need to multiply it by the command rate to get the actual number. For example, my DDR4 memory is running at 2000 MHz, but has a command rate of 2T, which makes it 4000 MHz.
 


I don't really understand those technicalities as I usually left those be. However task manager says that I have 3.2GHz speed while CPU-Z tells me that I have a DRAM of 1596.8MHz with a CR of 1T.
