OPTIMIZE PC FOR GAMING WINDOWS 8.1 WINDOWS 10
We see the same with Adobe software, doesn't matter if it's Photoshop, After Effects or Premiere Pro, we're looking at identical performance using either Windows 10 or Windows 11.ĭaVinci Resolve Studio 16 provides us with the biggest margin yet, Windows 11 was 3% slower when using the Core i7-11700, though we see no change with the Ryzen 7 5800X.

It's the same story when running the Blender Open Data benchmark, which is highly repetitive and extremely accurate. In the case of 7-zip, we're looking at no more than a 1% margin between the two Windows operating systems. I'm not going to bother talking about most of the performance margins as they're insignificant. Running Cinebench R23 appears to reveal the exact same level of CPU performance for both Rocket Lake and Zen 3 processors. I've seen benchmark graphs claiming 5, 10, 15 and even 20% extra performance with Windows 11, sadly though for those of you running the latest AMD and Intel desktop CPUs, it doesn't look like the upcoming Microsoft operating system will net you any of that. Right off that bat I'll admit, this won't be the most interesting set of benchmarks I've ever put out, at least in terms of performance margins. That is, a Core i7-11700 and Ryzen 7 5800X, both equipped with 16GB of DDR4-3200 CL14 dual-channel single-rank memory, a Noctua NH-D15 cooler, and a Gigabyte RTX 3070 Gaming OC graphics card. Is Windows 11 faster, slower or the same as Windows 10? To find out, we've tested both AMD and Intel platforms. We're not going to dive into all the changes, but we will say that Windows 11 is certainly based on Windows 10's core, we expect a smooth transition, but for the purpose of this article all we're interested in is performance. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the Mac-alike look that Microsoft seems to have gone with, but it's not a big deal and I'm sure you'll be able to customize the appearance to suit your preferences. So far stability has been excellent, not a single crash and everything has worked.
OPTIMIZE PC FOR GAMING WINDOWS 8.1 ISO
We downloaded the ISO and made the necessary modifications, so that it could be installed on our test system. So, this is no more than a Windows 11 preview and it's well worth noting that this leaked version isn't the final version and therefore performance numbers are subject to change.

We didn't plan on benchmarking the new operating system just yet, at least until it's officially released or some official beta became available, but with so many others posting Windows 11 benchmarks with very mixed results, we thought we should take it for a spin and see what the real deal is. Windows 11 is coming and some of you have been trying out the leaked ISO as have multiple media outlets and YouTubers.
