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).
Pages:
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
No sense to you probably.
The performance difference between driver versions can be upwards of 10%. This test is worthless.
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!
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
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.!
