Greetings all, this whole problem is very odd and confusing to me. 
My initial build: Ryzen 5 2600, EVGA GTX 1080 Hyrbid, 2x4gb DDR4 3000, 450 watt evga psu.
I knew my ram was not enough at all for what I do for work. And I knew my PSU was dangerously too small. So I got the bright idea to upgrade them. 
Before the upgrade I ran Superposition 3 times on 1080p extreme and got scores between 4100-4200. 
Today I installed 2x8 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200, as well as a 750 watt supernova G3. I was so excited to have fast ram and more ram, and a psu I didnt think would explode. 
At first I was having issues booting the PC (I still am, it wont restart. Have to turn it off, then on). And then I got that fixed, and set my ram to run at 3200Mhz. 
I ran Superposition and got a sad score of 3200... I thought this has to be a fluke. Something went wrong. So I went back and ran it again and got 3250... 
Then I was thinking it must be the program. No way my new and improved hardware is slower. So I ran the passmark performance test.. Sure enough I went from 99% 3D graphics to 64%.
**When I ran the passmark 3D, the first test is DX9, its an airplane scene, and my video was so glitchy and broken.. however this is the only test it ocours, and it did several times after (had to make sure it wasnt a one time thing). ***
 
I have no clue why this is happening. What could cause the drop in performance? 
 
My CPU scores went up from the upgrades, yet my GPU is 25% slower. 
 
If you have any ideas or suggestions let me know please.
Also all of these tests were done on a 1440p monitor.

    Before you start running benchmarks. Make sure your CPU, GPU, and memory are all running at their correct speeds.
    What it sounds like based on that large of a drop is your GPU isn't boosting correctly. 3DMark tells you the clocks your GPU was running at during the test. Other monitoring programs also.
    So,  find out which part of your system. Your boot issues are probably related to memory, first gen Ryzen is known to be tricky running overclocked memory. And yes, 3200mhz memory is overclocked. Technically anything over the intel/JEDEC standard is overclocked. But I digress.

    It is 2nd Gen Ryzen.
    But I checked and during stress GPU clocks to 1776 and memory to 5005. I am not sure if this is good or bad.

    Well I think I found it. Or it could be a bandaid to the real problem. Turing off V-Sync and Tripple buffering and scores are back to normal.

    Vsync shouldn't be on in 3DMark unless you enabled it manually or perhaps globally by mistake. I'm glad your scores are back to 'normal'.
