As if AMD and NVIDIA didn't have enough problems per se to make each article on their device and make it work properly, Microsoft now, after its latest update, seems to be facing various problems with its biggest operating system to date.
According to reports from various media and agencies, the number of problems users face continues to escalate. From motion, to snow, to drops to FPS … Everything seems to come from one place, the operating system.
Windows Windows at the sight of AMD and NVIDIA in game mode
Starting in the spring of 2017, Microsoft decided to introduce a key feature to it Windows 10 application that, after more than three years, he is never quite sure yet: game mode.
This feature, as we all know, depends on the button that can or will work on the user's capacity and, in the case of keeping it active, is thought to, improve game performance. To do this, it prioritizes game and hardware processes and hardware and insists on them achieving maximum performance both, leaving some processes behind and sometimes not working.
But until this point is reached, it seems that with the latest updates on both the OS and drivers of both companies, the functionality is severely compromised on well-played heads, different engines and smartly, with very different requirements.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Society of Fantasy are affected
It seems to have little to do with the specific design and model. The game mode causes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to have major anger issues in both AMD and NVIDIA, but especially in red GPUs under Navi engineering.
Other models are similar RX 570, RX 480 and R9 290 on AMD and GTX 980 or GTX 1080 Ti NVIDIA also appears to be more affected than those other unexplained reasons. League of Legends looks unsustainable even though in this case the number of problems is so high that no specific types of AMD or NVIDIA have been found.
Problems are even noticeable on game laptops with low-power versions of the Max-Q and operating systems with low requirements.
The solution to these problems with the majority of cases is simply the malfunction of Windows game mode. In some cases the development was so extensive and the problems stopped so quickly, in others it was felt only in problems such as overcrowding.
In any case, and given the reputation that the mode has received, it's probably best to disable it directly to prevent future problems, since it has long been proven to actually drive performance.
