Microsoft is tackling "thread contention," which you can think of as every service and application on your PC vying for processor time and resources (eg, L1/L2/元 cache) to complete its task.ĬPU-heavy games like Civ 6 may benefit the most from Game Mode. What Game Mode is doing with the CPU is a bit more complicated. That may seem like an obvious statement, but some people don't think it all the way through." "If you have Lightroom in the background doing some kind of math-intensive, GPU-intensive conversion, and that's taking up a lot of cycles, and then you have your game in the foreground, and all of a sudden you give your game what was-and I'll make these numbers up-90% of your GPU up to 98%, Lightroom running in the background will slow down. "Absolutely it's a zero-sum game," Gammill said. Sounds simple, but there is an important distinction here: Game Mode isn't promising to magically increase the amount of GPU power you have available, the way some snake oil applications promise to triple your internet speed. We didn't go into specifics about what those GPU splits are in Game Mode, and they'll vary from system to system based on what you have running. But no question, Game Mode can see huge perf benefits for both Win32 and UWP." Knowing what the contained package is may be of some extra benefit, may be slightly better than Win32 from a performance perspective. UWP is more of a contained package, and you know where it starts and stops. You could have a number of Windows services running, we don't know if that's part of the game or not, that the game's calling into.
Specifically, there's no way at the platform level to really know where a game starts and stops. "I will say that it's likely that we'll be able to eke out a little bit more performance on the UWP side with some games, essentially because of the way Win32's architected vs. "Game Mode will work both with UWP games as well as Win32-based games," Kevin Gammill, a partner group program manager for Xbox, told me in an interview on Tuesday. That's not the case: Microsoft plans to make the games you buy from Steam or GOG or other platforms run better, too. When Microsoft first announced the existence of Game Mode in a vague blog post promising "to optimize your Windows 10 PC for increased performance in gaming," some gamers speculated Game Mode would only affect Universal Windows Apps.
