Win7win8win10 Which game is better and faster?

Every time Windows system upgrades, everyone will care about whether the new system will have any impact on performance. Windows 10 upgraded DirextX 12 this time, as early as January 9926 version Has been supported, in theory, the current DX11 graphics card supports DX12, NVIDIA, AMD, Intel have launched the corresponding driver support. So win7win8win10 which game is more cool and faster? Let's take a look at it!

Microsoft has pushed the Windows 10 Bulid 10041 system in this week's Windows Update, and the graphics drivers of each factory have also been updated. Although there is no specific description of the upgrade, it is basically Enhance support for DX12 to make it more stable. These drivers are exclusive to Windows 10 systems, and Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 systems do not.

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

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

Today, let's take a look at how Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 systems will affect game performance. The driver versions are updated to their latest, and the test platform uses the Xeon E3-1230 v3 processor. With dual-channel 8GB memory, the graphics card will be tested with the GeForce GTX 960 and the Radeom R9 285 respectively. See how the N card and the A card differ in three different systems.

First look at the benchmark of 3DMark, running the standard mode of FireStrike, the score under Windows 7 system is the worst, and the difference is more obvious, Windows 8.1 performance is slightly lower than Windows 10, but the actual difference between the three is actually not big.

The next step is the actual game test. A total of three games, "Tomb Raider", "Civilization: Beyond the Earth" and "BioShock: Unlimited" are tested. You can see from the above picture. The game runs on Windows 10 and Windows 7. In most cases, the number of frames is higher than Windows 8.1, but the difference is actually a few frames to a frame, almost all of which can be regarded as errors.

The conclusion of this test is that the performance of Windows 10 is basically the same as that of Windows 8.1/7. Although the system supports DX12, due to the lack of supported games, the advantages are not fully demonstrated now. The latest DX12 API is taking time. Now Windows 10 is still a preview version. Microsoft still has some time to communicate with manufacturers. I don’t know how many games will support DX12 when the official version comes out. If some time is DX12 If the game blooms everywhere, the advantages of Windows 10 will be revealed.
