**** UPDATE 5-20-18 ****
Turns out my issue was with my memory kit. Once I went from 64 GB of RAM to 32 GB of ram, I could run the RAM at the XMP settings and all of my slowness issues disappeared. Everything is running as it should. Guess I probably should have tried that earlier...ha.

While benchmarks aren't everything, they clearly can help know if your system is running correctly or not.
This past weekend I worked on a project some of my friends and I are doing benchmarking the various systems that we have at home and compiling the results into a Google Doc. The results for the most part are what you would expect, however, my main gaming rig has some major issues, at least based on the benchmark results.
My system has the following specs:
Ryzen 1700X running at 3.9 at 1.45v
ASRock X370 Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming
Corsair DDR4 4x16 GB running at 2666
EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3
Corsair HX1050W PSU
The system I'm comparing to, is very similar:
Core i7 7700K at stock
ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K6
Corsair DDR4 2x8 GB running at 2400
EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3
Corsair 750W PSU
My friend's system very handily beats mine at 1080p (which isn't a surprise given how Ryzen performs with 1080p) but both of us game at 1440p. Based on reviews I see online, both systems should perform very close for the most part at 1440p but our results show at least a 15-30% delta in most cases.
Any thoughts as to why?
If you need more info, let me know. Thanks for your help in advance!
