High end expensive computer running at low FPS

[isakhp4]

Hello, so I bought my Alienware Aurora r6 for $2000 about a year ago and it ran at like 100fps at all games and i thought it was fine until people with much worse computers got more FPS than me even with the same settings. I dont know that much about building pc's and specs so I am wondering is there something i can do to get higher FPS instead of lowering game settings?

What games are you trying to play? Are you getting worse performance in the same games as you were a year ago? What graphics settings and resolutions are you using?

The games I mostly play are Rust, CS:GO, Black Ops 4, Ring of Elysium

I believe my computer was a bit better a year ago when I bought it but I have done multiple computer resets during this year and after each reset it gets only a little better performance; barely noticeable.
