Windows 10 VGA graphics card performance benchmarks
With the Fury X and GeForce GTX 980 Ti 

With Windows 10 released yesterday the question quickly rises, is there a performance gain with Windows 10 already? Next to that with threaded optimizations will gameplay be more smooth ? In this article we'll have a quick look at Windows 8.1 vs 10 graphics performance with the help of four of our regular benchmarks and FCAT results. In this article we will use both a GeForce GTX 980 Ti and Radeon R9 Fury.

Now this is merely a quick overview, but I have ran some benchmarks for you guys to compare a little to understand if at you may expect your graphics performance to improve.

All test have been run on our primary graphics card test setup. This is based on:

  • Intel Core i7 5960X (8-core)
  • X99 (MSI XPower) Motherboard
  • 16 GB of 2133 MHz (G.Skill) quad channel memory
  • This system has been overclocked toward 4.4 GHz on all eight cores.

The overall upgrade from Windows 8.1 towards Windows 10 process was smooth, aside from one Nvidia gfx driver crash this system has been running stable ever since the upgrade a few hours ago. Windows 10 does feel responsive and feels much better opposed to Windows 8.1. That doesn't necessarily translate itself to games though.

This is a rather 'quicky' article, based on user feedback/requests to answer some concerns.

 

The NVIDIA graphics card used was a GeForce GTX 980 Ti (reference running driver revision 353.62). We use beefy graphics cards to make sure we are not GPU limited.

 

For AMD we are using a Radeon R9 Fury (ASUS) with the new AMD Catalyst 15.7.1 driver. We cannot use the Fury X as it does not have a DVI port needed for FCAT testing. We could convert the HDMI port, but it is single link, meaning converted DVI would end up at 1080P whereas we want 1440P. Next page please where we startup four regular benchmarks, followed later on by FCAT results as well.
