I believe I actually found the culprit. it was the resolution. The new monitor I bought along with the gpu I have are able to make use of the newer 4k res. So i set it to that resolution manually when I ran the benchmark(both on direct9 and 11 settings @ maximum and that was where the massive change in score performance originated. If i set it to the more typical 1920x1080 my machine scores over 15000+ on direct11 maximum. Once I shifted it to the 3840x2160 it generally lands around 5700ish on the same setting.
I'm going to "assume" its due to not a large number of things out right now are overly optimized to run at the 4k resolution point as of yet?
