Windows 11 VBS tanks gaming performance?

Been doing some benching in W11 today, havent noticed any difference. CrystalDiskMark SSD benchmark? same score. Cinebench R23? Same score. 3d mark port royal? Same score

Everything runs exactly the same for me

I'm actually disappointing, it looks like a windows 10 reskin and performs the same

Yeah. Disappointing. I think W11 will be worth installing in like a year or so. I plan on doing a clean install soon and guess what, it will be W10.

I already have W11 on my laptop anyway, so no rush.

What where you expecting? Literally all the build up indicated it was a re-skin.

I have a couple VMs and a laptop upgraded, and it seems like a fine OS to me so far. Nothing to rush and upgrade to right now, but equally nothing to fear or get frothy angry about either.
In a word, Im glad. Id prefer an incremental update, which provides a platform for bigger changes (Android Apps, native nVME to GPU storage thing etc) than something radical which not only causes issues with current hardware and drivers, but possibly breaks a bunch of applications.

It seems MS cant win though. People will moan regardless. If its radical and things break, people moan. If its a reskin and all works, people moan.

Has anyone tested auto HDR and on which games? I'm thinking of installing Windows 11 if the auto HDR works well.

Yeah it looks really good. Very noticeable improvement in older games, battlefield 1 looks amazing. No difference in the newest games released in the last year which already have HDR encoded as a graphics option. However you do need a HDR capable monitor/TV for it to work

Thanks mate. Do you still have to enable HDR in Windows display settings for some HDR games to work such as Forza Horizon 4? I thought BF One had HDR built in natively.
 
Win 11 had HDR automatically enabled by default so I just left it on. Yes Battlefield 1 has HDR option but I noticed a massive improvement in graphics detail, also in Elder Scrolls online with no loss of FPS, but I didn't notice any visual difference in newer games such as COD Cold War or Cyberpunk or Metro Exodus Enhanced. However in COD I am getting an extra 15-20 FPS, but I didn't see a difference in FPS in other games. I haven't had chance to run any benches yet will try tomorrow.

One thing is I found every game had stuttering, after some research I found out it is caused by Win 11's in-game recording (a bit like Nvidia shadowplay). There is no option to turn this off, so after disabling it with a registry hack, the stuttering had gone.

Initially I hated the win 11 interface (taskbar grouped icons) and the start menu to the extent I found it unusable (Microsoft trying to copy Apple's minimalism over functionality) but after a lot of registry tinkering and third party tweak programs I have got it looking like win 10, so after my inital annoyance with it and a lot of messing about I'm now quite pleased with it.

I'm looking forward to game developers implementing Direct Storage for faster load times.

If you do the upgrade option rather than a clean install it's quite easy to revert to Win 10 as the old OS is kept on your disk. Installation was really easy just one click of the install icon and it took just over 30 minutes. All my settings /desktop etc were retained with no loss of any data. I didn't have to reinstall any drivers or anything.

Link on how to disable the recording thing?

dear grim sir, just type Captures to start menu

it is off by default though. i never see it enabled by default

that person has something wrong, it does not work autmatically and you have to enable it yourself

https://ibb.co/2Y6VLh9

if really works all the time, it would be noticeable by task manager metrics / applications. i checked, nothing is active by default.

i enabled the all time recording feature, and suddenly something called GameDVR started using cpu/gpu/disk resources when i entered a video game since it records the game (if it detects the game that is ) all the time. but as u can see from the above, it is off by default and it can be turned off if somehow if it enabled

Do what I did. Install it on your laptop or secondary PC if you have one to satisfy your curiosity and wait 6-12 months to install it on your main rig :D

After having a play about with it today, the only reason I would rush out to install it this year would be if I had a HDR monitor. Nothing else I have seen makes it worth the rush.

:cry::cry::cry: If only that was possible. 2 very capable PCs and a laptop don't meet the CPU requirements for me. Nor any TPM and no place for any modules.
 
I tried the auto hdr with AC Valhalla briefly, tbh it looks crap like enabling the original HDR option, washed out etc, so 10/10 they managed to capture the effect perfectly lol

You would want to try AutoHDR in a game that doesn't have HDR normally. It doesn't make sense otherwise. And as far as I know if a game supports HDR by default then AutoHDR is turned off and doesn't do anything

I had it turned on and only noticed after I got the pop up that it was a supported auto hdr game, it does a fair job of replicating the same level of hdr.
 
I'd like to play with autohdr, but I'm not risking my newer box and the older ones are not supported or too slow. Currently in a holding pattern.
