Question Is it weird that no improvements were made when upgrading from a r5 1600 to a r5 3600?

I recently upgraded to an r5 3600, and noticed when playing some games (Ex: BF5) I got the same results as the r5 1600. The fps was about/basically the same. I thought I would be getting more fps since some benchmarks I saw on youtube, and what some of the comments said, had improved fps. On a side note I also bought an MSI B450 Gaming Plus Mobo just yesterday, and only updated the bios. Should I update all my mobo drivers to see if that could be a factor?

My Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600 4.2Ghz
Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer C CPU Cooler
MSI B450 Gaming Plus Mobo
XFX RX580 8GB GTS Black Edition
XPG Z1 3200Mhz 2x8gb
HP S700 250GB SSD, 1TB WD Black HDD
Corsair Vengence 650 watt 80+ Silver

alright well Thanks everyone, I will just start saving up for a higher end card then, like the 5700 so I don't bottleneck anymore. How do I mark this thread as solved?

Wait, so I checked in battlefield 1, and my cpu at max would hit 82% and an avg of 73%, with my gpu at 100%, so this is a gpu bottleneck correct? It just seems weird because the usage on my cpu seems high, unless in bf1 it should be high usage? But even then the fps is still about the same as my r5 1600.

Yep 100% GPU usage is a gpu bottleneck. Your CPU usage is pretty normal for a game like any modern BF title.
