Win7/win8/win10 play games which is more fun and quicker?

While Microsoft pushed the Windows Bulid 10041 system in this week's Windows Update, the graphics drivers for each plant were updated, although the upgrade was not specifically described, but essentially increased support for DX12 to make it more stable, These drivers are exclusive to Windows 10 systems and are not supported by Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems.

The latest NVIDIA graphics driver version used by Windows 7/8.1 Systems is 347.88 (left), while the latest driver version number for Windows 10 systems is 349.90 (right).

The latest driver version of the AMD video card on the Windows 7/8.1 system is Catalyst 15.3, the version number is 14.502.1014.0 (left), and the driver version number on the Windows 10 system is 15.200.1012.2 (right).

Today we'll take a look at how Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7 systems have an impact on game performance, with the driver versions updated to their latest, test platforms using Xeon E3-1230 V3 processors, dual-channel 8GB memory, The video card will take GeForce GTX 960 and Radeom R9 285来 test to see how the N card and a card will differ in three different systems.

Take a look at 3DMark benchmark, run Firestrike Standard mode, the Windows 7 system score is the worst, and the difference is more obvious, Windows 8.1 performance is slightly lower than Windows 10, but three of the actual difference is not really.

And then there's the actual game test, a total of test "Tomb Raider", "Civilization: Beyond the Earth" and "Biochemical Surprise: Unlimited" three games, from the above figure can see the game running in Windows 10 and Windows 7 in most cases the number of frames than Windows 8.1 a little bit higher, But the gap is actually a fraction frame to a frame around, almost all can be regarded as error except.

The conclusion of this test is that Windows 10 game performance is basically the same as Windows 8.1/7, although the system supports DX12, but because of the lack of support of the game so now the advantages are completely not out, to wait for the game to support the latest DX12 API it takes time, Now Windows 10 is still a preview version, Microsoft has some time to communicate with the manufacturers, do not know how many games will support DX12 when the official version comes out, if some time DX12 the game, the advantage of Windows 10 will be revealed.
