Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 8
Gran Turismo 7 leans harder on execution: Braking points and throttle modulation define lap times.
Reads1 vs 1
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance3 vs 2
Desperados III leans harder on variance: Guard patrol overlap creates some hidden-state uncertainty early on
Optimization8 vs 8
Even - both lean on optimization about the same.
