Windows 24H2 vs. 23H2. 12x Games, More than 550 Tests – Zen 4 (Ryzen 7 7800X3D)

Test System Specs
Mainboard Asus TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS
CPU Ryzen 7 7800X3D
GPU Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition
NVMe XPG SX8200 Pro 2 TB NVMe
RAM XPG Lancer DDR5 (2 x 16GB) 6000MHz
Power Supply Seasonic Vertex 1200W
(Cybenetics Platinum)
CPU Cooler NH-D15S
Case Raijintek PAEAN
Ambient Temperature 25°C ±2°C
23H2: Drivers AMD Chipset: 5.11.02.217
AMD Adrenalin: 24.2.1
NVIDIA: 551.76
24H2: Drivers AMD Chipset: 6.06.11.2153
AMD Adrenalin: 24.8.1
NVIDIA: 560.94

I use a powerful NVIDIA RTX 4090 for all tests to ensure the CPU is the bottleneck at low resolutions, not the GPU. Also, the drivers I used differ because the 23H2 benchmarks were taken several months ago. It is not easy to test all these games fully on numerous settings. It requires countless hours, and I don’t fully trust automatic test suites with bots; everything was done manually by playing the games!

To monitor power consumption and every other important aspect of the system, I will use Powenetics v2.

I use a 4K 43″ Samsung monitor and a Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 when I need to run tests at high refresh rates (240 Hz).

  1. as a decade old pc enthusiast just coming back I can’t help but see these benchmarks at 300fps and wonder what are ppl smoking? no way…but throw unique titles like tarkov in here and you’ll see it drop below 100fps even on your x3d chip, now this is a game that people reported gains in fps/consistency when installing the Ryzen KB update on 23h2 which is built in 24h2

  2. These tests make no sense. You’ve invalidated them by not using like-for-like drivers. You’re not so much comparing windows as you are comparing driver configurations

        1. Show me your results proving that! That the OVERALL difference can be 10% between 3-4 month driver versions! Your comment is totally useless without proof!

  3. i think your test have problem

    you test on old , modify 23h2 not new defult windows iso ( you change many settings before )

    you must instal new 23h2 publish 1 year ago , rathen test and will see 20% performance on 24h2

    other thing , you must run game on 1080 medium quality (cpu heavy) not ultra max settings (gpu heavy)

    i like see this test on AMD GRAPHIC CARD , i am sure when amd cpu ,gpu give more performance / price

    1. Haha wait your saying they should test an un optimised install from a year ago? Which all gamers would have installed not tweaked to the best it can be?
      that doesn’t make any sense.!
