/r/buildapc - Planning on building a computer but need some advice? This is the place to ask!

Long story short I built a Gaming PC for my GF and gave her my old Ryzen 7 3700x and got myself a new Ryzen 7 5700X3D.

I researched the 5700X3D after some of my coworkers recommended it as a good upgrade from my 3700x and it did seem like a good option.

After getting it and putting it in my rig, my overall Time Spy scores are much lower than before. The CPU consistently scores about 6-7k, while my old 3700x would easily get around 9k. I'm getting a lower average FPS in games. Watching GPUz CPUz and Task Manager, I don't see any obvious bottleneck, and I updated my Bios to make sure it wasn't that.

Maybe I was bamboozled and this wasn't a great upgrade but I think I'm missing something or that I just severely lost the lottery here.

Any Suggestions?
