Performance is much worse with 361.18 compared to 358.16 regardless of in-game settings.
For example, when I launch a new game and skip all intros, I get 75 FPS with 358.16 but only 56 FPS with 361.18. There’s also lots of jerkiness with the latter which is very noticeable when scrolling.
In game settings: 1080p, VSync off, Framerate smoothing off, Max preset except DoF set to simple, AO set to Tile AO, AA set to Off.
GTX 770 4GB, 4770k with HT on, Fedora 23 x64 with Kernel 4.4.0.
I can’t try 358’s very easily unfortunately as I’m on an up to date Arch install (358’s don’t support current xorg stack), but it definitely seems very jerky and unstable regardless of settings on my 980 ti. Hope a driver update can help with this.
I had to revert back to 352.79. It was throwing errors at the command line. Couldn’t find random gl libraries. The performance is smoother, but it’s still a bit choppy with extra video options enabled. Perhaps the game is just coded poorly.
I have my in-game settings in my opening post. Also 361.xx is slower for some reason.
There is no i7 6600 so maybe you mean the mobile 6600U which has 2 cores less and lower clock-speed than the 4770k. And maybe the GTX 970M which is also a bit slower than the desktop GTX 770?
