4K Grid Autosport performance comparison on SteamOS & Windows
Please read the description below, I'll add more details if necessary.
If you dislike this video it, go ahead, but it would be helpful to me to say why.
System:
Intel i7-4790K HT enabled
Nvidia GTX 780
AMD R9 280X
16 GB RAM
Settings used on all systems (both 4K & 1080p resolution):
UltraLow with AA disabled
Low with AA = CMAA
Medium with AA = 2xMSAA
High with AA = 4xMSAA
Ultra with AA = 8xMSAA (the highest common setting available in-game)
Drivers used:
SteamOS Nvidia = 352.63 (358.16 too unstable and not much difference in perf)
SteamOS AMD = Catalyst 15.9 (Crimson way too unstable)
Windows Nvidia = 359.06 (latest available then)
Windows AMD = RSC 15.11 (latest available then)
Why 4K and not a lower res? Because I'm testing the limits of my capture card. Also W vs L testings at lower resolutions are already made by others; check Penguin Recordings video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEZBpZ2fN6c
Why Alchemist and not Brewmaster? Because again Brewmaster was a couple of frames lower in performance.
