Windows 10 Looks amazing !

I just installed Windows 10 using the media installation thing, without having to use a USB drive. I chose the option to keep my files and apps and it picked up all my drivers right away, speakers, wireless adapter, microphone etc. I'm now downloading the Windows 10 64bit Nvidia driver for my 970s.

Edit: For those of you guys that want to download and install Windows 10 as I did, download it from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10  Once downloaded you will get the option to create a bootable USB drive or to install it right away as you would do with any other program.

How is the FPS compared to Windows 7? You know, new Windows 10 drivers and all.

no. just no.

 

an OS does not change FPS in games.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

First of all you get the option to create a bootable USB drive or to install right away in the current PC. After that, you get the option to do a fresh install or to keep your files and applications (which I chose) other than that when it first boots it asks you all the usual if you want express intallation or you want to choose your settings (you can change these later on)

 

hey pm me how that goes im very curious

i know what others like. It's my job to.

but I miss tacky gloss. Where everything had to look like strait out of the matrix or a csi episode, and you made round buttons with gloss over them. The shineir the better. A lot more fun.

Wait what?! Really  ? I didn't know this was a thing, I'm gonna have to check if the driver is stable as it is new, other than that I don't think the OS affects frame rates.

 

Here am I... waiting... waiting and looking at that 81% downloaded text... here am I... here...

 

I know, mine got stuck at 32% for 5 minutes, I was worried. After that all went smooth.

It can, if the game stutters while loading a new area while you're roaming around.

but directX does :) also many things differ

 

 

games have to support DX12. just upgrading the OS isn't going to change anything.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day.

That's what I'm saying, Windows 10 is still very new, I'm wondering how stable and optimized it is.

What do you mean by 'overall'? Preventing FPS from dipping briefly means increasing the average FPS. Granted on paper in terms of average FPS the bump is not really noticeable unless it's a very special case, but I'd argue subjectively (and depending on the game), the improvement is noticeable and it is tied to FPS.

The Nvidia driver installation failed, I just saw DDU rolled out a new version for Win 10 So I'm gonna give that a try, uninstall drivers and do that again, wish me luck.
