I'm a gamer and developer in high performance stuff. I've seen a concrete improvement in both average performance and responsiveness in going from win 7 to win 10 on the same machine.
- chadgeidel 10y agoI recently installed both Windows 7 (32 bit) and Windows 10 (32 bit) on a 1 GB memory machine. Memory pressure from 10 was lower than 7.
- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoMost likely from the compressed pages. I recently bought a 2GB Ideapad to use as a toss around machine. I wish it had come with 32-bit Win10 but MS's stupid rules require 64-bit on any processor capable of using it.
- chadgeidel 10y agoSure, Microsoft has made a ton of improvements throughout the OS from 7-10, not just UI improvements.
- fuzzfactor 10y agoI don't think you would have any problem re-installing using the 32-bit version yourself.
- DanBC 10y ago> I recently bought a 2GB Ideapad to use as a toss around machine. I wish it had come with 32-bit Win10 but MS's stupid rules require 64-bit on any processor capable of using it. Is this correct? There's a bunch of low end machines that have 64 bit processors but not much ram, and thus were installed with 32 bit Windows 10.

- E6300 10y agoThat performance improvement happened in 8. 10 didn't bring anything new to the table in terms of optimizations.
- princeb 10y agodx12 doesn't work with 8
- E6300 10y agoThe benchmarks I've seen don't really point to DX12 as being an optimization.
- Mithaldu 10y agoIt's not about optimization, it's about the fact that games will come out that support only that because the game devs don't want to support multiple graphics APIs.
- E6300 10y agoDevelopers won't do that for a good while if adoption rates continue at their current level.
- Mithaldu 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_12_support https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_with_DirectX_12_... Oh, also, Dx12 does offer performance benefits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_12#DirectX_12 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX_12#DirectX_12
- E6300 10y agoIs that a list of games that only support DX12, or a list of games that support DX12 and possibly some other API as well?
