Hallo, I have bought my first gaming rig as second hand, I was very pleased by the performance, but recently when more of my friend upgraded their rigs with similar parts, I found out mine is underperforming since they have often the same or even better fps on worse rigs.
My parts are:
CPU: i7-6700 (non-K) *Note: I have unparked the CPU and boosted to max boost speed by default around 3.9 GHz
GPU: MSI Armor 1080 8GB (Not overclocked)
RAM: 2*8GB 1600mh
Motherboard: GA-B150M-DS3H DDR3
PSU: Seasonic 520W 80+ Bronze
Monitor: 27inch 2560x1440p (QHD) 144hz *Note: i have also a second monitor
I have tried some benchmarks:

Firestrike: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/32156000?
Time spy: http://www.3dmark.com/spy/5724509
This is my results from playing with settings on different games and I want to note that my CPU is never near 100% load. and my power plan is on high performance as well as the Nvidia control panel.
Rainbow Six Siege: ~120fps on Medium settings, without AA. If I decide to go to max settings my Vram is around 4Gb, 100% usage but the performance hammer down to around 30 fps
War Thunder: max 16xanisotropy HQ TAA, SSAA: None- I get around 120 fps but at the moment I enable SSAA it goes down to 30 as well. again- 100%usage around 3.5 VRAM usage (My friends are getting 160 with SSAA on max and Celeron + 1060)
League of legends: 140 FPS while in battle on max settings: (my friends are getting above 200 with i5 and 1050ti)
BF1: ~60FPS on Max settings, ~100 on medium settings
Escape from Tarkov: ~120 fps high settings with AA off and anisotropy lowest possible
Rising Storm 2 Vietnam: ~120 FPS on max settings
CSGO: ~120-130 FPS no matter how I change the settings
Hunt Showdown: 60 FPS on Low preset, around 40 on high settings.
GTAV: ~50 FPS on max settings with around 5gb VRAM usage. If I turn off FXAA and MSAA i get around 80 and if I turn off anisotropy I get around 120-160 FPS.
PUBG: ~90 FPS on max settings
The temperatures of the CPU on heavy load are around 60C and the video card is not going over 76C so thermal throttling is out of the equation.
What I have noticed is that any game that uses more than 5GB of the VRAM is running with low fps, and almost all of the games I play have above 100 fps on light load. none of the games even get close to 8GB VRAM usage, so running out of memory shouldn't be the problem. I'm thinking about either something is bottlenecking the system and i can't find what or i have something defective/dying into my rig.
I have tried to reinstall drivers and windows but no improvement. I want to point out that this is my first gaming pc and I'm not sure what I need to expect from this setup, but if my friends have better FPS with worse rigs that should point a problem in mine.
