No benchmark gains after upgrading gpu

Hello everybody.
My rig is made of an Intel i5 4690k, asus z97 WiFi pro, 8Gb ram, gtx 980 ti, corsair 650w and 250Gb ssd hard drive on Windows 10 using an acer 27" 1080p monitor.
I recently upgraded from a gtx 970 but I didn't see any improvements on benchmark scores using firestrike. The final score is on the low 4k, with decent fps for graphics tests but very low fps on physics and combined.

I'm very frustrated because I was expecting much better results with the upgrade.

Please help
 
What about the games that you actually play, did the fps go up? Set cpu max/min to 100% in power control panel using high performance setting.
 
you sure you used the same firestrike test on both gpus?....4,000 score sounds about right for a stock clocked 980ti on FS Ultra. There is no way you would get that score with a 970 on firestrike ultra. Perhaps you are confusing firestrike extreme (1440P) vs firestrike ultra (4k)?

It was the regular firestrike (neither ultra nor extreme). ~4200 for both gtx970 and 980 ti
 
" with decent fps for graphics tests but very low fps on physics and combined."

your scores are exactly what they should be. Physics is almost 100% dependent on your cpu, and since your cpu is (4690k) still same, your physics score will be same. Combined is like "average" of physics + graphics score.

so what you're saying is that my cpu is a bottleneck.
