New computer (first build) Running Games Well, But Not As Good As I Expected

I just built a computer with the following specs
CPU - i7 8700k
GPU - 1080ti
RAM - 16Gb
Mobo - Asus RTOG Strix 370-F
Cooler - Kraken 62x
PSU - EVGA 650 gold

This system is running games better than any computer I've ever had before, but it isn't running them as well as I would have expected. When running CS;GO I got 110-140 fps. While this is good, I have seen lower spec computers get more than double this number. I assumed that it was just because CS is an old game, and went on with my life, but I just started to play some Rainbow Six Seige and I found a similar problem. On the in-game benchmarking tool, I did everything with max settings and got an average of 144 with a low of 70 and high of 200. Again, formidable numbers, but I've seen similar configs get 100+ more fps.
I am aware that I can't see more fps than my monitor can put out, but I would like to know this for down the line when my computer isn't overkill for most games.

You are fine, absolutely nothing wrong with your system.

Have done Fire Strike, going to do Time Spy in a minute, but for the time being, I got a 23,509 on FS

Run 3D Mark Fire Strike and Time Spy and post the result links so we can see what is going on.


Until then there is nothing we can do.
