I'd imagine it would also depend on how overpowered the CPU and ram are. If you are running a xx60 card on the latest $2000 CPU and like 128GB of high speed ram, there's probably be little difference. But with more balanced hardware combos, the overhead of the OS itself could make a significant difference. Granted, I'm assuming the OS's have a negligible impact on any brand new dGPU.
