You are a gaming freak and have installedWindows 10lately.
Definitely you would like to know how games perform, on this new OS.
The best method is to check out thebenchmarksoffered by different tools andreviewers on YouTube.
But one program that stands out from the others is the3DMark software from FutureMark.
Using this software you could compare the benchmarks of Windows, Android and iOS devices.
It supports the latest DirectX 12 version, using the new API Overhead feature test.
Why do Gaming Benchmark Tests on Windows 10?
The results are generally represented in the form of points.
What are the factors affecting Benchmarking Tests?
There are different software and hardware parameters that affect your game performance.
Generallygraphics parameters, tweak your machine how it draws images on your screen in any give game.
They can make blurry textures sharper, jagged edges smooth and even let you see further into the distance.
Sometimes these are available in your games options, while some may be available with your video card parameters.
It is generally measured in frames per second (FPS), so the higher the better.
Another important parameter is the frame rate.
If you’re free to play yourgame smoothly at optimal performanceof 60 FPS, its great.
But generally if a game is playable at 25-30 FPS, it should be ok.
In that case, you’re able to compare the results of two different OS like for eg.
Windows 7 vsWindows 8.1 vs Windows 10, to see if its the hardware problem or the OS problem.
What are the drawbacks of conducting Benchmark Tests?
Windows 10 Gaming Benchmarks From YouTube Reviewers
MultiTechnoparkconducted his research on Windows 10 Pro.
His test system looked something like this.
Intel i7-6700K, ASUS Z170-A ATX DDR4, G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series 16GB 2666 Mhz.
He used theFire Strike Ultra benchmark.
It is the worlds first 4K gaming benchmark.
He tested the performance of the following graphic cards using the above benchmark test.
He tested these games on different resolutions of 19201080, 25601440, and 38402160.
The lowest performing graphics card in points was RADEON 270X.
The same is to be said in the second jot down of resolution.
It was close third to the above two graphics cards.
Valentin TurocKconducted the3DMark API Overhead Featuretest to know the performance of DirectX 12 on Windows 10.
Though there are very few games that supportDirectX 12the results were supportive of Microsofts promises.
The test configuration was something like this.
It was conducted on Windows 10 Home 64 bit at a resolution of 19201080.
TheDrawcalls/secondproduced the following results.
Some other users presented the results of3D Mark Fire Strikebenchmark test.
This was better than 51% of all results.
He tested it on Windows 10 pro 64 bit.
Another user the same benchmark software.
But he was using NVidia GeForce GTX 970(1x) and Intel Core i5-4690K.
The score was 9529.
This was better than 80% of all results.
McGrauadoconducted some experiments with 3DMark Basic Benchmark on Windows 10.
The version was not mentioned.
He used NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (1x) and Intel Core i7-5820K processor.
The benchmark results were something like this.
