The so called ''studio'' drivers are optimized for compute units.  The gaming drivers are optimized for 3d rendering. If you open your graphics cards performance monitor, n ot task manager, you will see that ps does not use any compute units at anypoint, only the 3d engine and the decode and or the encode engines if the moons align perfectly ...
