so I upgraded my 5 year old system...
my old system scored 5447 on "is your system ready for 4k" in 3d mark

however my new system scored 5007..... what the actual f...?!

old system is in my signature only difference is I used the same gpu in both.

new system....

i7 6800k
asus rampage v edition 10
asus 1080
H115i water cooler
64GB ripjaws 4 ram

I have absolutely no idea why my old system kicked my new systems ass on 4k... the processer alone is 20% faster than the 2600k the new MB is obviously way better than the sabretooth p67 and everything is stock clock... is this proof that 5 year old systems and or hardware are still good to go today? (apart from the GPU old is gtx970) some insight would be awesome !

More than likely your problem. Back up any important data and do a clean install. Not only will motherboard drivers be different (although this should update itself), but there are many other settings and registry entries that can affect performance.

just swap the drives over (didn't think it mattered as the only thing changed is the bios and MB and the bios is attached to the mb) but I am open to learning from my mistakes !

Stuff hasn't gone very far to be honest. And I believe most things ive seen show 4k actually less processor intensive as it renders less frames and its not doing the detail work. 144htz is harder at 1080 than 60 fps at 4k though you still have some issue as they gtx 1080 should have murdered the 970

well in relation to CPU's 20% is a good amount hence why I decided on swapping now, and you got it wrong with the GPU, I used the same GPU in both tests, I had a DOA rampage 5 edition 10 and kept the GPU while it was RMA and used it in my old system and did the benchmark there, then once I got my new MB back and reinstalled everything I put it back in there, so same GPU different everything else :)

just surprised that my CPU doesn't overclock when I change the settings and that standard clock it doesn't beat my 2600k standard clock either, but as BadActor said its my mistake for swapping out my old SSD and HDD without doing a clean install, I expect about 6-7000 on the benchmark then. just need to wait for new SSD and HDD to arrive :)
