Question Will windows 11 increase fps in certain games?

[AlxR25]

So let's take GTA V as an example. This game runs on an outdated engine which can't utilize more than one core of the pc's CPU. So this means multithread rendering is disabled.
I have read that w11 has a different game rendering algorithm which completely skips cpu processing and sends data from the systems ram directly to the GPU. Will this increase fps in GTA V since the CPU, which is probably slowing down the game, will be skipped?

Win 11 has been in the public eye for over a year.

Have you seen any reports or tests where it has given better or worse FPS vs Win 10?

I

've seen some checks and w11 clearly has a faster loading speed and lower frametime with increased fps but the CPU usage seemed the same and that's what confuses me

"faster loading speed".
I would attribute that to a new, clean OS.
Not Win 10 vs Win 11.

I'd have to see the control conditions before I really believe that.


"lower frametime with increased fps"
Again, controls?

What cpu? I could understand a 12th or 13th gen Intel with P & E cores due to Win 11 having the scheduler needed to utilise them properly.

This is the only reason to specifically use Windows 11 over Windows 10, from a performance standpoint.

Windows 10 is still fully supported for the next 3 years. October 14, 2025, is current EoL and I would place bets on Microsoft extending that date due to the huge amount of people still on older hardware that isn't supported by Windows 11. The Register recently published an article stating that 4 in 10 PCs can't upgrade to Windows 11 due to hardware requirements -

More than 4 in 10 PCs still can't upgrade to Windows 11

Research by Lansweeper shows Microsoft's stringent hardware requirements still at play
