Fall Creators Update (v1709) - FPS gains?

[EXCellR8]

fixed my performance issue with Deus Ex... I had way too many AA features enabled in conjunction with maxing out the graphics quality settings. runs a dream now; looks phenomenal too.

Another comparison when you can see the differences: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWDjKo0pCLc

I think that Hardware Unboxed simply tested at a different resolution than Joker.

Caused my 2900 XT to BSOD when playing any game full screen. Reverted back, and all is well.

You can revert back from the update? Why didn't I just assume you could!?

I'm still feeling sour with the update. Still playing Ys 7. Rolling back the NV driver removed the stuttering, but now I get what was a common issue with Windows 10 - the games lock to 24 FPS. At least before, it was at the start of the game, now it's while playing.

I can be playing without issue, 60 FPS, and then just get dropped to 24 FPS. I'd rather take the stuttering issue over this. Menus, anything, is slow as balls. ALT+TAB'ing out of the game a few times fixes it (until it pops up again.) I got 28hours of problem free gaming in Ys 7 and 2 hours of headache once I put the Fall Update in.

Probably a great update for modern games, but older (crappier?) ports might be an issue. Granted, work's been busy so I haven't been able to test a wider range of games (had no issues with 2hrs of Destiny 2 last night). So close to beating Ys7 from my understanding, so not sure if I should just stomach it or roll back.

Hahah. Thanks man, but I ran some benchmarks on it and lined it up against the 8800 GTX. It was strictly for comparison. I collect video cards and benchmark them using modern benchmarking methods. I posted the results on my YouTube channel. My main rig has a GTX 1080

Haven't experienced any increase in FPS, though I haven't made any benches, but just from feel and memory, its pretty much the same!
