980 ti not performing as expected

i recently upgraded from a r9 fury to a 980 ti. i upgraded mostly because the coil whine on the fury is atrocious but i figured i might as well get a slight upgrade in the process.

 

anyway when i installed the 980 ti and benchmarked it i noticed that it was performing worse than my r9 fury. (FYI i only used cinebench r15 but i should see an improvement right?)

is there a problem with my card? is NVIDIA nerfing cards?

 

please help me solve this issue because the 980 ti is supposed to be ~20% better than the fury.

How did you determine that?
If you used userbenchmark, ignore it. It's extremely skewed and not accurate at all (I used math terminology!).

Could you perhaps test it out with an actual GPU benchmark, like 3DMark or Unigine Superposition?

Agreed with priors. But did you fully remove the AMD drivers? Ive seen that be an issue between team red and team green cards when swapping.

fully? or just through programs and features? Or did you use something like DDU (display driver uninstaller)?

Compute workloads can behave differently from gaming. I have no idea what Cinebench GPU results are like. It'll suck if you actually changed it for Cinebench, but if it was for gaming, use gaming benchmarks.

i changed it for gaming, and also i re-ran the benchmark an i realized that most of the time it was only utilizing 30-40% of the GPU and it was only 30 fps off of what was expected. i figure the benchmark just isn't accurate.
