Windows 10 gaming performance questions.
« on: December 02, 2016, 02:26:27 AM »
Hello, I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and I noticed some performance issues when playing games. I was playing Painkiller Black Edition and when enemies are on screen the game goes into slow motion, and I don't mean dropping frames, I mean slow motion but still runs smooth (if that makes any sense). I was wondering if Windows 10 has performance issues when it comes to gaming.

Ehhh windows 10 is the best OS for gaming atm, try to make a fresh install. Making upgrades from the older os can bring some performace problems.

From what I've heard, this is correct. Just back up your important stuff and go fresh like Slim, that usually works for this kind of problem. (plus what have you got to lose if you've got your stuff backed up?)

I had this kind of problem myself a while back, and the Windows reinstall fixed it.

0h, another possibility is related to the fact that some older games go slow motion  when you have plenty of graphics performance but are bottlenecked by CPU for one reason or another.

I do like Windows 10 and so far i'm loving it I might look into the bottleneck issue, thanks.

There is one thing I noticed though, Unlike Seven, 10 take over your resources at any point to perform any task, meaning if there's an update, a new mail, or a system fail for just a moment, Windows 10 to take your resources from the computer completely disregarding anything you're doing, so, that's normal as far as I can tell

That's not normal. Windows 10, much like Windows 8 and 8.1, is significantly more efficient and less wasteful of resources than Windows 7 ever was.

Though you might just be running Chrome?

I wouldn't be running Chrome even if worth Platinum, that thing is garbage compared to efficiency of Firefox and the speed of UC Browser
But that's actually true, I had Windows 10 in multiple hardware, and I runs all sorts of scan on it, I the most likely results for all that geeky hibbiry jibbiry I went up and down bananas to fix, is that Windows 10 take no regard for what you doing and perform Windows maintenance stuff, there nothing I - I mean we, the average user - can do about it, it is on Windows 10 itself, and I still get worked up and hot-headed about the thought of it, sorry...
