Win10 "game mode" reveals: take the initiative to allocate computer resources

[Abstract] Microsoft internal staff broke the news of how Windows 10 game mode works. The next major update of Tencent's Hamish Windows 10 is called Creators Update. The most compelling feature of this update is the Game Mode. The game is still a very important business for Microsoft. The launch of the game model will consolidate the company's position in the field of computer game platforms. It is expected that the Creators Update will be officially launched in April, which is a very delicate time node. The adoption rate of the current Steam platform Windows 10 has fallen below 50%, indicating that the growth rate of this system is slowing down. At the recent Game Developers Conference (GDC), Microsoft revealed to the media some details on how the game model can improve the Window 10 gaming experience. Eric Walston, Microsoft's advanced computing department employee, explained why the game mode "can focus on the best performance of existing hardware to provide users with the best gaming experience." In fact, the game mode is a mechanism that allocates all hardware resources to a running game. In simple terms, the game mode can allocate most of the system processing cores to the user's current most important game program. The processing threads of other application programs and system functions are allocated to the remaining cores, so that it will not be weakened due to thread conflicts. The overall performance situation. In addition, the game mode will focus more of the system operation time on the currently open window, concentrate all video card computing power on the game, and video memory will also completely serve the game. In actual tests, we found that the game mode has the greatest impact on those computers whose games have not performed well. It can significantly increase the minimum frame rate of the game but has little effect on the maximum frame rate. At present, the game model can indeed improve the game experience to a certain extent, but it cannot upgrade a low-end computer to the game player's "dream computer." Maybe wait until it is officially listed, we can find more surprises. Source: Digital Trends Wonderful video recommendation:
