First image is Sanctuary, second is Tropics
Personal Conclusion:
- both 180.37 PreRelease and 185.13 Beta are somewhat faster than the latest official release 180.29
- the differencies are minimal, but the Sanctuary test shows clear increase of performance
- the more sophisticated Tropics test has a slight drop for 185.13 Beta, but this may be OK with my somewhat old Graphics Card
- for the time being, and if there will be no problems, I'll stay with 185.13 Beta.
