I just bought a RTX 2070 super, but it is performing about the same as my old RX 580. I know it should be doing a lot better but i cant seem to figure out the issue.
 
Solution
so i tested out the temps and during the heaven benchmark it stayed around 69 degrees
Ok. That's good.

but when i played r6 it stayed around 55 degrees and didnt go over 58. the settings where on low everything and i was getting framerates as low as 140 and it rarely went over 190
I see what's going on here now...

This is a straight up user-created cpu limitation.
One does not, or should not, get a 2070 Super just to run the games on low, unless said games are unplayable at higher settings... from what you've shown so far, they're far from unplayable.

Higher resolutions and graphics settings = more gpu workload, less cpu load. The opposite is true vice versa.
The Ryzen 1700 can not meet the demands of your playstyle...
