Did you gain any FPS with Game Mode and Hardware Scheduling Enabled? You did not therefore gtfo.
fps isn't everything.

Can even update to 2004 and they even want to do some marketing about it 😀 Lets stop people from updating to 2004 because many things are broken and than lets do some marketing crap how it runs better o.O Who will understand them...

Games do not run any smoother with it. Basically it really does nothing for mid and high end range video cards. You want high FPS and smooth game play? Get fast video card, high frequency refresh monitor and enable gsync or freesync, problem solved.
HAGS is not there to magically make games run faster, did you even bother to check what it does?

It doesn't make any games faster, it does not give smoother game play in other words it does nothing and it has no purpose just like Game Mode has no purpose. And 8gb Video Card is going to be a standard with the next generation. 4Gb variants are history.
I guess you know what pre rendered frames are and what effect it has to reduce them via NVCP? HAGS does it on another level, so you end up with reduced input latency without the hit on framerate, which also visualizes as better 1% lows, at least that is what it is supposed to end up doing for all games. It's ok if you don't like MS, but please look into the tech before throwing anti MS biased comments all over it. I do agree that Game Mode doesn't live up to it's purpose, rather the opposite, but that is a complete different discussion.

i dont know i seeing alot reviews and peopel saying 1 maybe 2 fps difference that with in tolerance as far as i concerned, GW5 performance loss was interesting on persons test and none in another persons and that persons tests show identical performance with it on or off. As for latency well seeing I force vsync to be on always I never notice input latency unless is extreme. now if it effect frametime for the better that is something I would like. Not ready to upgrade to new build of windows to test HAGS which is only thing that remotely interested in, that would make me want to clean install windows again... I am interested to see how the whole HAGS pans out though @Mineria What is Gamemode? was that supposed to do something beneficial? I disable that cause I found it had lil no no effect and general cause issues. If MS want Gamemode for windows they should just build gaming version of windows which means they slim down the OS to as slim as it is on consoles. I dont even want that XBox junk in my windows but I cant remove that with breaking things, but like you said that another discussion

if all games worked Out Of Box on Linux , there would be no windows.
Linux would require a bit more than the ability to run all games out of the box to outcompete Windows. A lot of games seem already to run fine on Linux, the last repo I checked recently out was Pop!_OS, they got pretty far with games on Linux in the last years time, also hardware support is hitting the right direction, there is still some work todo before it can be accepted mainstream though.

Got it disabled as well. I did suggest MS several times to release a Windows Gaming Edition in the past, but seems it has no interest for them, maybe they wake up when ever Linux manages to really take of, in which case it will be to late for MS, rest of the industry including Epic will follow where the money is regardless of OS.

Eh, I'll just wait for MS to fix this. I thought version 2004 was officially out and ready for the public.

Given Microsoft say the following with regard to their new hardware accelerated GPU scheduling: "Although the new scheduler reduces the overhead of GPU scheduling, most applications have been designed to hide scheduling costs through buffering." Given that they say the above, I'm wondering if there might be more benefits in having this new feature enabled if you're running in the relatively new NVidia Ultra Low Latency mode in the control panel...perhaps we'll see less negative performance effects (eg less stuttering) with Ultra Low Latency enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel now that we have this new Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling. Might be interesting to test if it improves general performance of NVidia's Ultra Low Latency mode.

Did he F* up? Because he has Physics test 7% slower with HWS ON. And that's purely CPU test. which does not change even if you downclock GPU.

It does make games faster and it does reduce latency a bit and improves frametime variance tiny bit. So, what you wrote is false. In Hellblade I did not expect any improvement because game runs quite fast already. But in intro sequence I had ~195 fps at beginning with HWS OFF. And as camera approaches character, it goes own to ~155 fps with HWS OFF. Turning it ON made beginning into ~200 fps. And Close part to ~165 fps. That's about same difference people often 5h*7 on AMD's CPUs because intel's can deliver those bit higher framerates. Like it or not, it makes difference. Sometimes it is damn small in terms of fps. Sometimes average fps goes down a bit. But once you look at its effect on Low/Med/High fps, you would realize that it helps when you need it most (lower fps). Its effect is bigger when CPU is more limiting factor.

Are we even supposed to see any performance difference right now, is it no about testing a feature for the future?

I found the opposite with Mafia III refurb stuttering and alt tabbing WoW Classic stuttering briefly when having both enabled, disabling Low Latency Mode with HAGS enabled got rid of the stutter for these two games.

Interesting, not gonna know for sure until more are tested, but that's an interesting start.

Finally, a clearer explanation of this beyond "lets the gpu manage its own vram." lol

I tested several games on a desktop machine. I do not find a difference with the exact same settings on any game I tested with HAGS On/Off The link posted by CPC_RedDawn with adored TV in gears 5 he was using a laptop with large difference. I just tested on desktop Gears 5 with zero difference. Gears 5 Hags On [spoiler]

Maybe because im up in canada the new AMD 5.1 drivers only show up as the None Beta. Not sure where these drivers are coming from or maybe they pulled them due to a bug?

It is not in gpu bound scenario's that you are likely to see an improvement (fps wise), rather its cpu bound scenarios gpu bound scenario's are likely to see a reduction in max but better input lag.

This is as much nvidia's fault as it is Oracles, the maroons at oracle are rejecting the driver based on a single certificate not having a vertification chain, ignoring that the driver is fully sha 256 WHQL signed and that includes a full verification chain. I'm going to open a custhelp issue to nail down the last few files that need the nvidia sha1 updated to a sha 256.
Just got 27.21.14.5152 installed, going to test Virtualbox. EDIT: Still busted. Whatever Nvidia fixed it is not this issue.
