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.

Thanks for the info, Hilbert. Are you seeing any of the SLI related memory problems that people have been reporting in forums? The single-card tests don't show any difference compared to Win8, but I wonder if multi-GPU setups show any different behaviors...

No surprises there as its the same code running on both systems. The differences are only in the Modern app side. Its the OS itself which is way faster and better than W7. When games start using the new APIs (DX12 among others), we start seeing the benefits.

Maybe this is a dumb request/statement but it'd be kind of sweet to see Win 7 up in those charts too.

I didn't notice any memory issues with my sli setup apart from a wierd thing. MSI afterburner reported that during gta V gameplay, my Vram usage on my 4GB cards went up to 5.7GB (?)
