Very low 3DMark - physics score

[Kilmar]

Hey there,
I'm in need of some help with my computer concerning the CPU respectively the measured physics score with 3DMark Fire Strike.

My system configuration is the following:

Asus Maximus VIII Extreme
Intel i7-6700k, cooled by Noctua NH-D15
2x MSI Geforce GTX 970 in SLI mode
2x G.Skill Ripjaws 16 GB DDR4-3200
1x 500 GB SSD
Windows 10 64 bit home

The results in 3DMark Fire Strike say:

Graphics score 22784
Physics score 7323
Combined score 4501

Here is a link to the 3DMark result. The physic score is a little bit lower there, because I had Nvidia PhysX running by the CPU before, I changed that back to the GPUs afterwards.

As you see, the physics score is very low. I know there are a lot of guides and similar threads here about this topic, so I'm fine with links to other threads with similar configuration and/or problem. If anyone has some special tips for me, I appreciate them. I didn't change much in the BIOS yet, just changed some settings for the RAM like voltage and timings. If more information is needed, please say so.

How is it performing in games? That is what is important. Synthetic benchmarks are not great tools to measure real world performance.

Maybe you are right, but I don't own a current, performance-hungry game to check this. Maybe ARK. It runs poorly on highest settings, but it's still a pre-release software, so this could be part of the problem there, too. So I just have benchmarks to test my system.
