We do plan to benchmark Battlefront II upon release.
Destiny’s performance difference on NVIDIA cards mirrors the impressive uplift we saw for AMD Vega 56/64 in the beta versus at launch. We narrowed down AMD’s early issues to Destiny’s depth-of-field settings, and we suspect that NVIDIA has now found and solved the same problem--but we’ll put this to the test later.
Here are the numbers supplied by NVIDIA:

Obviously, manufacturer-supplied data should be taken with a grain of salt, but the reported performance improvements usually stick close to our results for what AMD saw. Again, we’ll be doing additional Destiny testing with this driver at some point.
As for Injustice 2, NVIDIA notes that fighting games are best experienced locked at 60FPS--we at GamersNexus don’t really play fighting games, so if you disagree with that, please send your angry messages to NVIDIA. For solid 60FPS performance using an NVIDIA card, system specs are as follows:
