Question Windows 11 pro Gaming Performance issue

[albinalex]

I had recently upgraded to windows 11 pro after a clean installation of windows 10 pro. I tried to play GTA V and it was so stuttering so much. I was getting like 120 fps with drops to 30 fps while in single player mode. I have even tried Overwatch 2 in windows 11 but that seems to be running just fine, maybe its a relatively lighter game to run. I restored my pc back to windows 10 and tried playing GTA V again and it wasn't stuttering anymore. Anybody knows why there is so much performance issue on windows 11? Can anybody help me fix it cause i really would like to use windows 11 cause the OS experience is pleasant.

My specs
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
MSI Gaming x TRIO RTX 2070 super
16gb ram DDR4 3200mhz
Windows is installed on my 500 gb nvme ssd
Games on my 1 TB hard drive.

Any help would be really appreciated

You upgraded the OS using the internal upgrade path or did you reinstall Windows 11 after a format of the older OS drive? If you went through the internal upgrade path, please reinstall your OS from scratch, Windows 11 that is, after creating a bootable USB installer using Windows Media Creation Tools.

That being said, make sure you're on the latest BIOS version for your motherboard, prior to reinstalling the OS.

Make and model of your PSU and it's age?

Yes i had clean windows 10 pro installation. Then i upgraded to windows 11 through the internal upgrade path. I have a asrock b450 steel legend motherboard and my PSU is gigabyte b700h 80plus bronze. Bought the whole pc in august of 2020 so little over 2 years in age.

Recreate your bootable USB installer for Windows 11 using Windows Media Creation Tools, then reinstall the OS.

"BIOS version for your motherboard ?"

"BIOS version for your motherboard ?"

Install/Use CPU-Z, Mainboard's tab, should show you on the BIOS line. Make sure you've downloaded all necessary drivers for your platform prior to formatting and reinstalling your OS. Disconnect from the www to make sure the OS doesn't download/install any drivers off the www. Once the OS install is complete, manually install all drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator. Once you've installed all drivers, connect to the www and let the OS do it's thing(update).

Try toggling Game Mode in Windows Settings to what ever the opposite is, changing your Windows Power Settings to "Maximum Performance," and finally going into your Nvidia Control Panel and make sure vsync is either off or set to "performance."

can i use the internal way of reset to reinstall windows 11 or should i just make a media tool?

Make a Media Tool adn reinstall from scratch, this is the safest way

Okay will do this!

Be sure not to install BETA versions of BIOS, just the final ones, without BETA word in them
