VIDEO Windows 10 Creators Update

[nmsuk]

The install went fine and it's flying along. Just doing some benchies and I'm impressed.

 

[Tritonpad]

can you tell us how many running processes you have idle ?

 

[nmsuk]

Background 64 and Windows processes 68

 

[Tritonpad]

ok thx. for me 39 / 82.
I think the increase in running processes is due to the fact that svchost is now running in separate process, showing the name of the service involved... This is really cool though.

 

[Sonny]

I have got 43/75

 

[nmsuk]

I'm rather impressed so far with this update.

they are already working on test builds for the insider program as we speak. so folks need to decide if they want to go with test builds or stay with the preview/public builds.

Clarification: they are building test builds already for this falls Redstone 3 update.

It does seem really nippy although haven't benched yet

I'm rather impressed so far with this update.

Agreed..

 

[nmsuk]

I'm not easily impressed either

 

[ragnarok1968]

@nmsuk , I see I'm around a tough crowd

 

[nmsuk]

Oh yes!

As you know, same here.. To be honest the more i use it the more i like. The break up of the original control panel is much improved although the odd option can be a bugger to find.
Today I'm going to try and bench this game mode and see what returns it gives, if any. Using a 980Ti I doubt I'll see much but lower end spectrum cards may really benefit..

 

[Tritonpad]

I'll probably bench a little too... What bench do you usually use ? It coulb be interesting that we all use the same bench to compare

Well I'm hoping 3Dmark will work ok with the 'game bar' but if not Unigen's Heaven or Valley might do..

 

[Tritonpad]

talking about 3DMark...
Download: Futuremark Outs 3DMark v2.3.3682

 

[kemical]

Nice.. I'll grab it shortly. Thanks for the heads up, oh and I love the site your linking to.. 3D Guru I'm in there every day for news and stuff. Excellent site!

 

[Tritonpad]

Yes, 3D Guru does the job ! I really NEED to visit it twice a day and often more than that !

Well 'Game mode' does seem to do something, this is before:

After I enabled game mode I got this:


Maybe there's something to it after all and if Microsoft have got this right then they are going to make a killing (as if they haven't already)..

Game mode basically shifts your system resources to the back letting your system fully run the game the best it can. Windows 10 Creators Update will have a Game Mode that shifts resources to gameplay (old article)

LOL! To be honest I was referring to whether it actually worked or not as we've had so many claims by manufacturer's regarding this idea.. It does look like it works but benching was a rush job and I'll take my time over it later..
