I don't trust Linus testing. For instance, I know he like to use FRAPS on everything. Sadly, FRAPS does fps averages, not direct fps calculations. I want to see testing from others. No one noticed performance drops anywhere when the features was tested here by people. Either it is within margin of error (so no change), or a slight increase. And again, Microsoft never said that it boost gaming performance. They said that it allocates more resources to the game. Meaning the OS can do 2 things: 1- Give higher CPU priority for the game, and lower the rest. 2- Give more processing time for the game over the rest of the processes. Meaning, if you do background things, at the same time as gaming, your game performance hit will be diminished. That is all. Linus test was about closing every single program, which he claims most do, while in the reality that is not the case, and seeing if there are any benefits. His test should have involved doing a video rendering, and playing a game at the same time. That would have been a correct test of the feature. Another problem also, is that FRAPS is a separate process. Meaning, it gets lower priority when calculating the fps due to Game Mode, which means that they are chances that it adds latency, falsifying the results. How about comparing games with a built-in fps counter?
All the removal attempts don't improve gaming performance. I've run these tests myself over several years using various Windows versions. Another forum member conducted thorough benchmarking, and the outcomes matched perfectly—no discrepancies. The speed of your HDD or SSD doesn't impact games; running many background programs can slow things down. You can have up to 200 active programs, but if none are using CPU or GPU resources, they won't affect performance. As long as your system has enough RAM, your games will run at full speed.
