Why are my games running so well?

So I recently bought a new PC.
My expectations were not that high, because according to youtube videos, benchmarks and other sources in general, the performance in gaming I should have with these components was much worse than what I actually have.
Specs:
MSI B350 Tomahawks
Ryzen R5 1600
Gigabyte GTX 1060 Windforce X2 6GB
Gskill flare-x 3200mhz 16GB
EVGA 650W power supply
The thing is that I've been told that I would get about 70fps at max in GTA V with medium- high settings.
I heavily modded GTA V, got the redux mod as well, re shaders and everything, and in downtown fighting cops, I get about 80 FPS and does not go below 71.
In Rise of the tomb raider it's the same story. I get about 80 fps on the highest settings.(Pure hair turned on but not on high)
Not trying to show off or anything, I know you guys have far better computers than I do,
I'm just curious why this big difference between what I experienced and what other people have.

Because you've maybe read an awful an awful lot of crap doled out regarding the performance of the ryzen chips compared to Intel by thoroughly biased people.

Do your homework properly & you'll find clearly that the performance sweetspot of the ryzen 1600 upwards is solidly in the 70-110fps range on a lot of current titles .

Good system you have there my friend , give yourself a pat on the back.


Thats the normal performance for a 1060 6gb class gpu. High-ultra settings 1080p 60+fps in all games.
