Ridiculous to see the 1080Ti be only barely able to pull 60fps avg at 4k in a game that doesn't even use proper AA.
For comparison: I'm hitting 37FPS avg / 5630pts at the same settings.

I just gotten myself a custom rig which I thought would be at the higher mid-tier end. However when I tried running the benchmarks, the scores were terrible, and I can't figure out why!
Even my older 5-yo rig was scoring better than this @ 7900!!
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Yeah man, are you still having this issue?
You're running off of your integrated graphics. You have to plug the monitor into the GPU (Graphics card) which (pretty much always, unless you got some inverted case or something) should be the lowest of your connectors, the ones that are horizontally aligned instead of vertically (I don't know how much you actually know about computers so I'm just going to assume you don't know anything about them, just to be safe).
Most motherboards automatically detect that you have plugged the monitor into the GPU and you should be good to go (If you did this while the PC was running restart it).

You should be getting a higher score than me.
