Ryzen 2200G Runs Poorly and Worse Than Expected

I bought this Ryzen 2200G about 6 months ago and ever since then, I have noticed that I wasn't getting the same performance as people do on youtube with the same processor/igpu. I always have stutters no matter the game and usually 30 fps lower than what I see on benchmarks on youtube. I can't tell if it is my RAM (shows 2134mhz most of the time) that is causing the problems or that I have Ryzen Master which always shows my cpu at 1600mhz and gfx clock at 400 mhz. I have tried putting the bar up for my clock speeds in Ryzen Master, but it doesn't affect my performance at all. Can anyone please tell me what is causing my problems and how to fix it? Thanks.

CPU : RYZEN 2200G
RAM : G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 DDR4 2800
MOTHERBOARD : ASROCK AB350M PRO4

EDIT: I also found in the task manager and after using Speccy that my ram speed only indicates 2134mhz even though I bought 2800mhz ram.

This is a picture of Ryzen Master when I manually raised the GFX and CPU clocks. I also noticed that i can't raise the memory clock past 2100mhz too.

Solution
Also go into bios and enable xmp/docp to get memory running at full speed it'll help with both the cpu and GPU parts of that processor
I understand that I may need more RAM for more demanding games, but there are a number of games that I have that I know for sure don't require more RAM than I have when playing at lowest settings. 2 of them being Metro 2033 and Payday 2 where I get only 30-45 fps on lowest settings and 720p.
 


Sorry for the late reply. I forgot to check this thread for a few days and I did what you said and I finally got my ram clock speeds to what I want them to be. Thank you so much. However, although the fps has increased a bit, the stutters still remain. After a bit of searching, I found out that AMD brought out a fix to the stutters with an AGESA 1002.a bios update, but the problem is I can't find that update on my motherboard support page (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M%20Pro4/index.asp#BIOS). Also, after looking at this page (http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8985&PN=1&title=ryzen-2400g-stuttering), I noticed not all BIOS updates will fix my issue, but I should try the PinnaclePI-AM4_1.0.0.3b. update since it worked for that guy. But I don't how to update my BIOS or that specific update will even fix my issue. And once again, thank you so much.
