Is my B Grade Vega 56 faulty or is it just my Ryzen 3 bottleneck?

It only has 4cores, yep it's your cpu in the games that make use of more threads.
The R5 2600 in that video is quite weak, especially at that clockspeed but still shows a big difference in fps and gpu utilisation, when the cpu utilisation is too high. The difference between the cpu's would grow if the vega was clocked and tweaked properly.

The gpu was probably returned for either the coil buzz, or poor clocker, but i'm sure it'll be fine when you upgrade to an R5 3600 ;)

Yes, my research yesterday does point to that

If you look at 7:45 you can see you can see on Shadow of the Tomb Raider going from a 1060 to a 2080ti gives no performance gains with a 2200g.

You can also see their Hitman benchmark mirroring the issue I had. Although the 2080ti did manage minimums of 40 fps with a 2200g on Odyssey so it isn't just the CPU in that game.

Today I am downloading Forza 4 on Xbox Pass because it isn't CPU limited and compare to other benchmarks. Then I choose between second hand 1700/1800x and a new 2600 if it's handling Forza as it should. Actually I think I need to upgrade the 2200g even if I keep the RX 580
 
Try setting CPU core voltage to 1.35V and see how far you can increase the frequency. You should be able to reach around 3.8GHz-3.9GHz without too much difficulty. That should hopefully be beneficial compared with the stock boost clock of 3.7GHz.

What's your RAM speed?

At the same time, probably worth keeping an eye out for deals on a better CPU.

Set it to 1.425 which the guy in the tutorial was saying is the max for day to day turned it up to 4ghz clicked apply, immediate shut down lol. I might be able to get it to 3.8 but I'm not even sure that would be stable.

So I've just ordered a 2600, seems the best bang for buck at the moment at £115

I wouldn't use as much voltage as that. I'd suggest setting it at 1.35V and slowly increase the frequency until it's no longer stable. Stress test at each frequency increase.
