So just for s***s and giggles I thought I'd see if there was any significant difference between OSX vs Win for my GTX-770. Turns out there is a sizable performance difference. I'd love it if some serious techy could explain why. I know the 2 systems handle graphics differently and Win is Using DirectX11 and OSX is using OpenGL. But when it comes to what's happening inside the card I have little to no knowledge and would love to gain it. Both tests are on the same system, both booting from SSD. 4K screen running over DP.
