    Everyone.

    One warning, knock it off.

    Get back on topic.

    A bit late but I did some testing of the feature.


    Game Mode with Unigine Heaven 4.0.
    My setup might be too specific, so it is what it is.


    Windows 7 / 10 / 10-gamemode, nVidia 375.70

    FPS AVG -- 40,5 / 40 / 39,3
    SCORE ---- 1020 / 1008 / 989
    FPS min -- 19,5 / 7,9 / 24,3
    FPS max -- 80,6 / 80,3 / 77,9


    There is some margin of error of course.
    And it may be completely wrong.

    It doesn't seem to boost top perfomrance at least here.
    But it seems to work, in avoiding the dips, as much as possible.

    Anyway !

    Seems to be doing its job actually. Any chance you test with Fraps and share the frame data .csv? I have the feeling that the actual frame latencies are much improved.

    /edit well just re install fraps agaion with the latest 17.2.1 drivers and it does not work. :wanker: Okay seems the overlay is not working but it is recording the csv files. will give it a couple of runs.

    I have fraps but only ever used it just for in game FPS monitor...tell me how and will do it for y'all


    Incidentally with the latest insider build, you can uninstall and disable the xbox app and still use the game bar for game mode.
