In this YouTube byTechCubewe can see different gaming benchmarks comparison between Windows 8.1 and 10.
This study was done in the initial days of May 2015.
TheUnigine Heaven benchmarktest showed a difference of just 3 points between Win 10 and 8.1.
This is useful to measures GPU-intensive programs and tests the graphics cards to the limits.
TheUnigine Sanctuary Benchmarktest showed a significant difference between the two.
In this test Windows 10 scored higher of 445 points.
This is of legacy mode.
This benchmark test mainly supports DirectX 9 and 10.
It also supports HDR rendering.
Using an old benchmark test like this shows that Windows 8.1 does not score much in legacy GPU tests.
TheUnigine Tropics Benchmarkscores were level for both Win 10 and 8.1.
This benchmark test was released in 2008, a year later than Sanctuary.
This also comes under legacy test according to Unigine website.
But this test supports DirectX 11 as well.
This is indicative of the gaming power because of the different picturesques tested in this version.
A variety of environments like ocean, sun-set, coconut palm trees are tested.
It is a benchmarking tool created and developed by UL, (earlier known as Futuremark).
It is indicative of theperformance of a computers 3D graphic rendering and CPU workload processing capabilities.
It also shows the range of benchmarks obtained using the same hardware, but different games.
The first game saw that Windows 8.1 had a better frame rate than Windows 10.
It can be said that if you play this game frequently, it is better to use 8.1.
But you will not much difference using Win 10 as the FPS is only 1.5 less.
The second game saw significant improvement in Windows 10 FPS.
The difference between the two was only .61, though Windows 8.1 scored a bit higher.
The third game had a higher frame rate in Windows 10.
Though it was marginal of 1.1 FPS, we can say that Windows 8.1 is not left behind.
All the above FPS scores were only average.
It should be understood that higher the FPS score, better the game performance.
3D Mark benchmark test shows that, Windows 8.1 scored higher by 49 points.
Windows 10 had a score of 13750 points.
But Windows 8.1 outscored it with 13799 points.
The following games also showed a slight higher FPS rate towards Windows 8.1.
The difference was very marginal.
Except the last game shown a high FPS rate in Windows 10.
But in 2019, with major improvements in performance, the battle would be even.
Also, graphics cards might have released the Windows 10 version by June.
This would definitely impact the benchmark score in Windows 10 and can show major improvement over Windows 8.1.
As you could see below, there is not much difference to find the better of the two.
In the game below, you’re free to see a slightly higher FPS rate in Windows 10.
We have shown results from test results obtained in 2015 and 2017.
But definitely you’ve got the option to find more gaming benchmark tests of Windows 10 in 2019.
This will be indicative of the whether there has been any significant improvement in gaming, performance wise.
