Samsung 960 Pro SSD - not getting max speed

Is there anyway to tell if I am getting the max speed out of my SSD? I have a feeling it's not. I double checked, I installed the nvme drivers, have the latest firmware. I have drive indexing turned off. I ran the Magician benchmark utility and for the result this is what I got:

Sequential (MB/s) Read: 2,791 Write: 1,934
Random(IOPS) Read:338,080 Write: 338,892

Can anyone check to see if its normal?

I know that my motherboard, Gigabyte GA-X99 Ultra gaming does support 4x Nvme . I'm not sure why it cannot be any faster. I'm using a fast CPU i7 6850k and only 1 graphics card. Maybe there is something in Windows or the BIOS i need to change?

What you're receiving is pretty fast in my book. You need to also understand that the Samsung Magician software is not a benchmarking tool and is only used for quick analysis. Your actual readings may vary.

Also, the speed of your CPU and GPU have nothing to do with your storage speed.
