First of all, unfortunately no DX12 results since the game simply didn't worked in this mode on my system. It might have something to do with my card having only partial DX12 support, but honestly I don't know the exact cause.

All tests done at 1920x1080 resolution.
Systems used (both running on the same Western Digital WD10EZEX-21M drive):
SteamOS brewmaster
Windows 10 Pro

i7-4790K
GTX 780 (3 GB VRAM)
16 GB RAM

Nvidia drivers:
Linux 378.13
Windows 378.66

Videos recorded at High Settings with an external Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K card and OBS recording software.

In case you're noticing slight differences between what is rendered on both systems; please remember that what you see is a *scenario* where various elements are generated randomly, and most of the benchmarks are working this way.

Also you might notice some lower textures on the Windows side. And before saying it, no, the settings are the same (normal) for both. Is just that Windows loads the higher textures slower (although is on the same drive.) Notice at min 0:17 the text on the security guy jacket (Windows side), the higher texture gets loaded, but takes a while..
Here is a raw video side by side so you can better compare:

The settings I used will probably get me in trouble with some folks. That's because there are no true High+Ultra settings for every feature unless you use the DX12 mode (which I didn't for reason explained above).
So what I did was took all usable settings for DX11 and OpenGL and arbitrarily set them in four tiers (taking as example the LOD settings). I guess I'll probably get slapped on the hand for my choices too, but here they are:

TIERS____________LOW____MED_____HIGH____ULTRA

LOD______________LOW____MED_____HIGH____ULTRA

AA_______________OFF____FXAA_____FXAA____SMAA

TEXTURES_______LOW____NORM___NORM____NORM

ANISO___________2X______4X_______8X_______16X

SSAO____________OFF_____OFF_____ON_______ON

SHADOWMAPS__LOW____LOW_____MED_____MED

SHADOWRES____LOW____LOW_____MED_____MED
