Quick foreword: We ran the quick HairWorks A/B test in FFXV in an additional location after this testing, and saw nearly perfect (100% vs. 100%) performance results in an area with no HairWorks, tested between the HairWorks settings. This was true for both AMD and nVidia. We now have three data points that show no significant difference (or a difference within error), and so we can assume that the HairWorks culling issue in FFXV has now been resolved.
Additionally, several other inefficient culling approaches have been resolved with the game in general, including non-GameWorks objects. It looks as if Square Enix has significantly improved their optimization for FFXV over the PC benchmark release, further rendering the previous benchmark utility useless as a means of gauging PC performance.
