Question Why is my CPU and GPU underperforming?

[Jayzo]

hey,
I've had my pc for about a year now, and I don't know if its been like this for a while or not, but it was fine when I first got the PC. So, on User benchmarks, My pc does worse than other PC's with the same specs, and I don't know if I should ask for a refund or what to do, or if anyone can explain why my pc is underperforming, or atleast my cpu and gpu,
specs:
Intel core i7 8700
Asus gtx 1070 ti
asus z370-a

It could be temps, may need to update drivers.

I’m pretty sure my temps are fine, the max temp is my gpu which is like 65, and all my drivers are up to date, so that can’t be the problem :/
You got any other ideas on why it’s underperforming?

I don't trust that benchmark. Download 3D Mark Fire Strike, run it, and then compare your results with the average listed here:

What's so untrustworthy about it? It list how you compare to other's with the same specs and can determine if there's a hardware issue based on each individual part or if there's a high CPU usage which can affect performance.

3DMark doesn't come close to giving that sort of information.

I got 16 6750 score on the casual 3d fire strike, is that good?
