The hardware for the test is a GeForce 680 GTX and a Radeon HD 7970. Here’s an excerpt from my performance testing numbers – this is with fps test 3 with the 747 replay.

I don’t know what the specific changes that are helping are – the goal of 1030 is to simply use the best code paths we can find. For some reason, one of the modernization changes in 1030 is more important for NV than AMD. The actual total performance win from 10.25 to 10.30 appears to be quite a bit bigger on NVidia hardware than AMD hardware.I believe that this is where the majority of bug reports were coming from. On the AMD 13-9 drivers, the code path is absolute death.That’s why when I asked Philipp to try to reproduce things on an NVidia windows box, he told me things didn’t look broken. But…1030’s basic performance is faster than 10.25, so the two canceled out, yielding somewhat reasonable looking fps tests. The code path is slower on both Nvidia 331.88 drivers and AMD 14-4 drivers.Hence while my PC was dead, my few attempts to reproduce the reported behavior on my Mac totally failed. On OS X, this code path runs at pretty much full speed, so having it in the beta didn’t reveal any actual problems.What’s interesting is the relative effects of this code path on multiple platforms. Which was…face palm…a GL drawing code path that I had disabled during private testing (due to low performance) was actually not disabled at all due to a lack of parenthesis. With the actual “problematic” configuration (and a hard drive that wasn’t barfing up sectors like an infant with reflux) it only took about 15 minutes to find the actual problem. This week I received my new PC, set it up, and was able to actually look at 10.30 performance problems with AMD hardware on the Catalyst 13-9 drivers.
