The FPS and UPS are slightly better with the old system ! The only "noticeable" advantage of the GTX 980 over the GTX 580 is the render capacity. At 6.5 million triangles the GTX 580 can't update all objects in a frame anymore frequently showing the interior of objects whereas the GTX 980 still manages to display all triangles in a frame.
 
 
 
So if you already have a high-performance quadcore and a good graphics card there's not much benefit from replacing it with a "better" system.
