Any benefit for choosing LWRP over HDRP if targeting gaming PCs?

    LWRP has been touted as the "works everywhere" option. HDRP relies on compute shading capabilities, which limits its platforms. This much I understand.

    The question in my mind is if LWRP performs noticably better on HDRP capable hardware? Presuming both render near identical scenes without any extra flair from HDRP.

    I guess I'm wondering if compute shaders let HDRP work smarter than LWRP, or is it just HDRP requiring more from the GPU to provide prettier rendering?
