I just finished installing my new Ryzen 3700X in an Asus ROG X470-F Gaming motherboard (latest BIOS version 5007), coupled with 3600 MHz G-Skill RAM, and I thought I would run a couple benchmarks to see where I stood. Based off review sites and other 3D Mark results I'm finding, my CPU score (8040 points) seems to be low when compared to others. Here are the results: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/7805138
3D Mark is reporting that the CPU is boosting to 4.39 MHz, so I don't think I'm having any issues there. I'm quite happy with the performance increase over my old X58 platform, but I want to make sure I can squeeze out all of the performance the chip is capable of out of the box.

Does anyone have any ideas or similar experiences with this chip?

Resolved! For those who are curious, the issue was remedied by installing the latest (7/7/2019) AMD chipset drivers and ensuring that the Windows Power Plan was set to "Ryzen Balanced." My CPU score jumped from 8040 points to 9778. Cheers!
