PC Drivers & Software

Build a new build using the following. After a few days of mucking around with the GPU drivers - finally seems to have stabilized.

Mobo: ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 

GPU: Radeon RX 5700

16 GB of 3200 RAM

Question - Ran a computer benchmark (https://www.userbenchmark.com/Software)

CPU, SSD and RAM seem to be doing just fine. The GPU benchmark seems horrible. Is this cause for concern? Is this a good benchmark test to run?

UserBenchmarks: Game 64%, Desk 143%, Work 117%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X - 109.9%
GPU: AMD RX 5700 - 53.4%
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe PCIe M.2 500GB - 307.6%
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB - 87.3%
MBD: Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

I gave up on Rx5700 today and went and replaced it for an ASUS RTX 2060. Works right out of the box. Scored 5X on the Unigen Heaven benchmark test. No issues with playing youtube videos. The system seems to be at ease and seems to be working much better now. I guess a stable/mature video card with established drivers is the way to go. I couldn't wait for AMD to get the drivers right - lost my patience after 2 weeks of playing install/uninstall drivers.

This is better for GPUs https://benchmarks.ul.com/3dmark#windows

My rig is similar to yours and hits 7600, which according to 3D marks scores is decent. But, the performance in some games, Destiny 2, for example, is below par. I'm returning my 5700 and getting a 2060 GTx. Never had so many issues trying to get a card to work. Truly atrocious.
