- I asked everyone in a previous video if you wanted me to test Game Mode and an overwhelming number of you asked for it. So since you asked for it, here it is. We are testing Game Mode to once and for all to determine if you should turn it on or off.

Thanks for doing these benchmarks. At least someone took the time to do this for us. Great video!
This is one of the few times a sponsored ad actually turned out to be a great deal. Thanks for VIP Scdkey link!
An awesome video as always . Keep up the good work :)
Placebo-Button like most of that things labeled with "gaming"
The one thing that does work for me is Use graphics acceleration when available in edge. Without it on edge is slow.
@@user-sj9cn1qc1q Yeah, but that is enabled by default, and it isn't recommended to turn off unless you have a low-end PC and the browser lags your games.
ah yes thats why CSGO dropped 20% lol. its not a placebo. it just hurts your system
Very interesting! I didn’t expect a negative affect from game mode but I will still try to see if it works for my pc or not
Wow. I haven’t been on this channel in years, I’ve been subbed for years and i last saw you was on 10k, now almost 150k congrats!
This is really timely. I was just in a reddit discussion with someone defending game mode as a benefit. Nice to see a methodical comparison. Thank you.
I was testing out the Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (HAGS) setting along with Game Mode, but I only tested in Minecraft, with and without a shader mod (really impacts the performance) and the results were interesting...
Both HAGS and Game Mode on :
Without shaders : max. 1312 / avg. 1285 / min. 1243
With shaders : max. 208 / avg. 205 / min. 204
Both HAGS and Game Mode off :
Without shaders : max. 1382 / avg. 1363 / min. 1344
With shaders : max. 219 / avg. 215 / min. 214
Only Game mode on :
Without shaders : max. 1354 / avg. 1333 / min. 1233
With shaders : max. 217 / avg. 215 / min. 214
Only HAGS on :
Without shaders : max. 1443 / avg. 1416 / min. 1362
With shaders : max. 220 / avg. 218 / min. 217
The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling was the winner. GPU and CPU usage stayed fairly the same throughout all tests, but game mode made the gpu% increase by quite a bit. I would love to see this being tested in other games too👍

@@SordidusFellatio you know, emoji spamming makes you look real immature. And go test for yourself lol.
An awesome video as always sir, I always wanted to know if it really does makes a difference thank you
Running in game benchmarks.
Lowering thresholds may not quite be enough unfortunately. Your clock speeds are still the same and that may actually matter more than core count (depending on the game). Also there wasn't a way to drop gpu performance if that matters for game mode.
Still probably doesn't help performance though lol.
I've suspected game mode is mainly used for the Intel p-cores and e-cores and I've heard it helps on Wndows 11 but most of the time you really don't need to use game mode.
Good video. I always kept it off because I just debloat Windows 11 and that is my game mode lol
great video
Idk if I am facing a placebo effect but I have noticed a pattern with the game mode on windows 11 (not sure about Win10 but I fear it will be the same or worse). What happens here with me is that on my current setup of i5 10400F with RTX 3060 12G (windows 11 of course and HAGS on or off didn't feel the difference but for me I kept it on) on cpu bound games game mode off seems to be working ideal and performing the best as it can and the difference margin is hugely noticeable but when it comes to gpu bound games, game mode on seems to take away the winning trophy. So with that being said, the conclusion for me on my system is:
CPU bound games = Game mode off
GPU bound games = Game mode on
This worked for me but I would love to see others test my theory as well and hoping to see good results.
My system: Core i5 10400F 6c/12t paired with Evga RTX 3060 12G OC equipped on Msi B460m Mortar Wifi
It's all within margin of error lol, it always felt like a placebo button.
reminds me of the "turbo button" on old PCs.. it did have a effect but not the one the text say..
they simply say fk pc players, just buy an xbox ...
@@ChrisGR93_TxS yea, its a sad world
Who needs a pc to play pc games on ultra settings,so fucking yesterday,such a waste of energy and money.

Thank you, appreciate it.
@@CyberCPU i subscribed your channel cuz you're professional in computer stuff like me and two you have nice Beard
I thought the MSconfig CPU setting only works for when windows boot, u think when you set it to 4 cores, then you only will see 4 cores in taskmgr,dont think so. and even for the memory when set to 8Gb, you still will have 32.
I didnt test this but just want to let you know.
Hey Rich, one question regarding Windows 10: is there a way to set up specific colums of information to be shown in File Manager's folders everytime? I happen to have to change them all the time because Windows change the ones I've enabled to the system default.
If you mean size, date and/or whatever columns changing? Go to File Explorer ->View->Options->change folder and search options->View->Apply to folders. If that doesn't work you must google "Disable Automatic Folder Type Discovery in Windows 10" which will require messing with the registry. If you don't know nothing about the registry stay away.
He maybe answer you if you send him money.Money talks
Can you make a video for setting AMD ? i have AMD on my legion 7 laptop
would be a lot of help! also should we always update our windows? in windows update? thanks alot
Rather than artificially downgrading I would like to see this using an older gen system, like a 2600k or a 4790k or whatever. Just something using an older architecture and doesnt have all the bells and whistles (althought the 4790k is still fairly beastly imo)
4790 is still a killer CPU, have a PC with the non k version and a GTX 1660 super.
i have a 4770 beasttt for what it is
@@viperdemonz-jenkins I have the same. Mine is a k though. I'm pretty happy with mine.
the video we needed
But it’s to stop pop ups and updates from kicking in as well ( if you haven’t set up your update times, like most people don’t). Enjoy your system notifications popping up in game if you turn it off.
Was this tested on 23H2 or which version of W11?
I think Game Mode is for non-tweaked systems. If you already removed the bloatware, you optimize the power plan, unpark cores, have correct drivers in your system, etcetera, then i think Game mode could actually hurt performance more because it may try to "help" Windows when it doesn't need it anymore. I am gonna try with it off for a while.
yeah probably, i have it fully optimized i think i will keep it off
Seen much of a difference so far? Will try myself this week
@@easymoneeey I think it made The Witcher 3 stutter a hell of a lot less with Gamemode Off and using RivaTuner to lock the framerate to 60 fps to get correct framepacing. With Gamemode On, with any fps limiter from RivaTuner, the game would microstutter like crazy for any small action or sutff that happened on the screen, so my guess is that so far it's better off.
Thanks, I finally know! I will be switching off from now on! Great videos, very helpful and easy to follow!
Big ups for the modest specs
my question is, will this difference change with difference resolution = .=?
like 1080 vs 1440 vs 4k, i mean from my understand there higher the res, it will go toward gpu bound regardless of CPU/GPU spec doesn't matter what game, maybe game mode will act differently between the different res = .=????
I have Windows 23h2 and the protection real time in windows security crashed and it won't turn on. I tried all the methods from the Microsoft website and any method on UA-cam and it did not work. Do you have a useful solution?
What game engine does "Deliver us the Moon" use? Unity? I think a lot of games, depending on their 3D Engine (Unity, Source, Unreal, Rage, etc) are effected by game mode, whatever it's actually doing. Also can you confirm that whatever game mode is doing is consistent between each game you test? What is it doing anyway?
It's Unreal Engine 4.
I think game mode was designed for older or low end systems in mind, but I could be wrong. Might I suggest testing this with something like a dual or quad core CPU, 8gb or 16gb of ram and something like a gtx 1080, rx 470 or something that slighty struggles with todays games. Maybe the lower the system specs the better game mode works?
GPU scheduling on or off during your testing? Also, in game mode you should go through and make sure that the games you are testing are all set to High Performance (Do not use Let Windows Decide), Don't use optimizations for windowed games and Don't use Auto HDR are both CHECKED and you run all games in Full Screen mode when testing. Under System>Display>Graphics>Default graphics settings: Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling should be on (If your system can handle it), Reduce Latency: ON and Auto HDR: Off. Those capable should also enable Resizable Bar with GPU Scheduling. Ultimately, Game Mode all depends on your hardware and whether or not you have done optimizations yourself on your system or not and whether you have streaming software running and a bunch of other factors. Ultimately, this is a setting that you should take the time and test yourself as all systems and setups will be different.
what does Game Mode do ? ( Source MS )
1. Prevents Windows Update from performing driver installations and sending restart notifications
2. Helps achieve a more stable frame rate depending on the specific game and system
so it seems its only there to prevent Windows from installing something and sending out the Restart Notification, while in Game
Yes, which is why this video is clickbait based on ignorance
@@christophervanzetta why does it cause some people stutters having it on then
you look like your gpu limited in your testing. what resolution were you trying to benchmark a 3060 at?
When you use Game Mode, Windows prioritizes your gaming experience by turning things off in the background. When you’re running a game, Game Mode:

Helps achieve a more stable frame rate depending on the specific game and system
Basically it just disables windows update. You didn't have this mode in Windows 7/8/8.1 because you could disable windows updates back in the days.
doesnt even do that tho@@HazardXXX
@@HazardXXX Now that you mention it I just remembered that I'm using ReviOS and it has windows update disabled by default (I can still enable it at any time). So I guess it's better to disable Game Mode since Win update won't even be active.
I wonder how it would do with the lower spec boot settings and say a gtx970? That would be more realistic. I think what has been proven here is the GPU makes way more difference that the CPU (or RAM to a certain extent) in gaming performance.
Game mode reduces input lag but I dont know by how much. Its the time you push or click a button to your character taking an action. FPS is how many times the image is being drawn on screen per a second.
Okay so I have a question my pc is not working like it's suppose to, it keeps stating that OpenCl.dll is deleted or corrupted can I get some help, any advice on how to solve it?
In other words, 'Game mode' does exactly the same as 'Focus assist'.
I would really like to know what game mode does what processes it turns off or on
What is game mode actually do then. I meant who will need to have it on if not for performance. Does it do anything else
1% isn't worth it IMO. beautiful video bud. thanks for the info on game mode. I've been thinking of turning it off lately and with your vid, i just made my decision.
When you optimize your pc for game you don’t need to turn on the game mode I actually have etc 3050 ti 4g I was playing squad game but it was stuttering at low settings but when I turned off the game mode I got 16 fps more with smooth gameplay
Could you test Intel application optimizer in games
I'm Brazilian, I think your content is incredible
How about the hardware accelerated GPU scheduling ?
If your cpu isn't that great then have it On. It offloads some of the work from the cpu to your gpu.
"Game mode" is just a misnamed feature. It have nothing to do with gaming, it just simply disable notifications and other releated stuff that might hinder your gaming session. Nothing more.

I've used it personally and go from around 180fps in overwatch to around 240, and I've noticed good stability in games that previously had stability issues.
@@chknnugt If you know what you are doing and where to touch you don't need it at all. There are plenty of paths to disable the windows update as a whole (as i have) and it wont do a thing on your system unless you re-enable it. And i am not talking about "pausing" it, but literally DISABLING it completly.
@@BryanTheFury if you know what you're doing. just turn game mode on and it does the same thing in a single switch LMAOOO i don't get your point you're just proving a more complex way
@@chknnugt You didn't understood. I just said i disabled windows update for good. Game mode doesn't disable it, just pause it and all the actions he does but it is still running in background. You'll still have all the pack and the services running. Disabling it you can REMOVE those things and have less resource usage.
good video
Can you make video to make a software in which by one click we can install all software
interesting, why even have game mode if it hurts than helps? microsoft as alwasy introducing issues in the guise of "features"
8:43 Isnt that only for the boot of the system?
On my system and playing Half Life Alyx I found if game mode on it often crashed the game, with off it rarely does.
I tested this on a actual low end rig, i5 7400 16gigs ddr4 and a 1060 gtx 3g, it made no noticeable gains.
is resizable bar still good? Is it still used?
yes, use it.
On laptops it absolutely works. I have an MSI machine it its consistently better with game mode on. I mean every time. I think it stops the thermal throttling maybe. I haven't looked too deeply but it works every time. If you have an RTX laptop....try it.
I'm thinking all the bloatware that eventually builds up on a system after a few months usage is what 'Game Mode' helps disable and prevent from sapping CPU and GPU cycles... with a new install, there's really nothing for it to work on. Didn't do any research, so forgive my ignorance if I'm way off - this is just an edumacatededed guess as a life-long network engineer and IT person.
bro I didnt know I had it on until i stated thinking about it and saw this video so thanks also my first video
Been following your channel for a long while
Using a xeon 2699 v3 with win11 pro

bruu how u mod bios?
@@BeastMrBeef using an AMI bios editing tool then a tedious process of using freedos to flash the mod bios nothing crazy
The problem with competitive gaming is input lag, not FPS. You need to test process time, Latency GPU + CPU . I can have 5 more FPS, but with 1 ms of delay added.
What I’ve noticed is with game mode off there tends to be bigger latency than it on
Game mode isn’t designed to increase frame rate. It’s to decrease latency in your controller input. With it off, your inputs via controller have a small lag, which in first person shooters makes a massive difference. Most notably this can really damage your ability to control recoil on some games, as the lag means you’re always slightly behind the bounce and wobble.
When I have game mode on, when I do something like share my screen in Discord or have a video playing on UA-cam, it makes my screen share or UA-cam video super stuttery. I turn game mode off and everything is fine again.
does this also happen with shadow play?
Hello I need some help and would like to know If anybody can fix my issues. After using advast and having it update 17 outdated drivers I can no longer open my Obs studio without it crashing.

If you only have 1 computer, do dual boot regular windows for everything, none gaming. I also install avg free driver updater and advanced system care enable ram cleaner and use nvme or ssd
game mode gets better the more stuff you run at the background in you game, as it give more priority for you game, but other than that no major difference.
Game Mode prolly only helps when you're cpu bottlenecked or the game and/or windows are on an HDD.
No idea how you took the averages though, you would need to do multiple tests with the same settings, if you don't have proper benchmarks where stuff always stay the same.
Try benchmark with win 11 tiny.. And check it
2:05 While I get that both RTX 3060 & 32 GB of DDR4 aren't exactly expensive nowadays, it's funny that you say a PC with a combined RAM & VRAM large enough to fit AAA games of yesteryear entirely is 'midrange'.
how does windows know its a game vs some program?
setting cpu cores in msconfig doesn't do what u said. it just tells windows how many cores it has to use to boot up. in the old days (w7) it used to be good way to speed up booting times of windows on lower end machines, and honestly except u i haven't seen anyone recommending to disable gaming mode
Awesome thanks for this. Was looking forward to seeing this testing after you mentioned it awhile ago.
As someone who mains cs2 for the most part, its staying off. Lol. Though id say as cs2 is imho still in beta, it probably just needs more optimisation for windows more niche features.
I use game mode all the time.
I play a lot of war thunder and without game mode i usually get about 100 fps and with game mode i get about 120 fps. One time i somehow got 160 fps lol.
I use laptop for 1200$, it has 16 gb ram and rtx 3060 and ryzen cpu.
I thought you were talking about Feral Gamemode for Linux which optimises and overclocks your PC when you put ''gamemoderun %command%'' in steam launch settings. Its way better than Windows "game mode"
linux in general is better in any mode compared to windows, my windows have installed sound crashing updates while i load a game.. (sound works fine before i start the game, when game is loaded the sound is dead=the bugged update was installed while loading the game).
A friend of mine play cs:go and he enter the map approx. 30 seconds before the game start and he have to wait for the other to pop in slowly when he play on linux.. when he play on windows there is always people that wait for him..
No magic or fixes, only proton and steam..
@@lokelaufeyson9931 On Linux. Dying Light 1 worked at a solid 60fps. But on Windows it forced it to use my iGPU and even with the nVidia control panel it didnt work so I had to change up the resolution to get it to a playable unstable 30. I find that Linux gaming is more compatibile with older games (and games in general) because Linux has the most software because of Wine, Proton, Darling and other MacOS/Windows compatibility layers which come with the tools you need to run Windows 3.1 - Windows 10 programs.
I'd just be happy that it disables unnecessary updates etc when gaming
Remember those apps you could download back in dial up days that claimed to increase your internet speed by like 5x or some bs. Game mode.
I thought all game mode did was shut down background stuff and updates while gaming..
its hard to impossible to know when you play a game, a game is a program like any other program.. how can you see that this specific load on the cpu is a game?
Turn off updates? impossible, MS wont allow you to do that.. never. MS wont allow anyone to have a chance to abuse that feature.
Shut down background stuff? no, microsoft will never allow the users to do that. It goes against microsoft policy.
Game testing never seems to into MSFS 2020, its a shame as this will give a good system a proper test
Game mode sounds like that old trick you used to make windows 98 faster on slower machines.. change so the apps was working in the background instead of in the "main memory".
It did help to lower ram usage but ram usage affect 0.00001% of the performance. The biggest improvements is gained from a good GPU/ SSD/m.2/ CPU and motherboard.
The cooling have a semi big affect as well.. no heat = no clock reduction.
Most motherboards will optimize the performance by default and run the computer at the best and most stable speed possible (noticed that when a motherboard "overclocked" my cpu when the watchdog was iffy, random crashes was a thing after that)
But in todays computer where you have 16 Gb, 32 Gb, 500 Gb? Ram?! i dont think it will make that much of a difference if you relocate the ram usage and release more of the ram memory for the game if you have 16 Gb ram.. Windows use something like 1.5 Gb - 3-4Gb ram in stock mode (3-4 Gb ram if you use triple screen setup like i do).
The worst i have pushed my windows 10 is 99% ram usage and it was a case of program crashing and semi heavy load (I dont know why it kicked up to 99% since it was a while ago) and all i felt was a half a second skip in the games at times..
My highest normal ram usage is 8-9 Gb .. not even close to 16..
Best game mode for windows is to uninstall all the bloat and block all automatic connections with a firewall, no random downloads or installs while you play a game and maximum performance.
I play on linux that have all automatic features turned off and i have damn good performance even if i use a gtx 1070 .. You cant test windows and get reliable results since windows will throw in a background download and install while you test and start a few other features that do something that obscure the test results..
my highest was 28 gb...... the game i was playing has a memory leak
@@V3RAC1TY a "small" memory leak? :)
You literally wrote a book to just boast about using Linux stfu bro
I think it's for low end video cards
To be completely honest his kind of benchmarks are not the way to test this feature since is prone to human error, one time you look slightly more to a section of the map that is heavier and maybe the next to a portion that is lighter or you don't hit the same exact spots or interactive objects and you gonna get what you got, the same performance on both just with eventualities that placebo to any direction, the best way would be to do it in games that have an actual benchmark mode, or to stick to cinematics that will render the exact same stuff so you can objectively see the difference, also do it on a clean pc with no bloatware or active background tasks.
Thanks for all your work to benchmark this! When I first read about Window's "game mode", I knew it was just a gimmick - since even games are dependent on the other, core services of the OS to run well. What happens when you take resources away from the code implementing your network stack in a multi-player game? Nothing good, that's for sure! My gaming rig is also my home media server, my security camera hub, my home backup server, my on-line backup server, hosting my daughter's small commercial web site, running BOINC with several "spare time" projects - all without missing a beat on a 10-year old, 3.3GHZ i7-5820k processor (6 cores/12 threads) with 32GB of main memory. If I throttled those other applications, it probably wouldn't even help my gaming much at all! More important than a buzz-word "gaming mode" is having a decent memory manager and scheduler in the OS, so all the ongoing workload is executed as fairly and rationally as possible!
I'm guessing a slow horse and a fast horse but tied up are not the same thing
I don't think it does anything at all unless the xbox game bar is also on. That being said, you're always better off disabling xbox gamebar.
My game mode always auto turns off even if i put it on. But yah frame times are not worth loosing even a single frame to get like a half or 1 fps more avarage xD
Game Mode stays off.
And for anyone with stuttering or recording stutter/dropped frames etc. TURN OFF Hardware Acceleration GPU Scheduling. It is normally on for a lot of people and causes nothing but pain and suffering for gaming and or encoding. Its a windows work boost feature but a game/recording/VR gaming killer.
Never have it on...
I swear the "TURBO" button made the computer slower...
no, it made the computer faster. Trust me bro. Always enable the turbo button.
That was actually the purpose of the button, when turned off it'd massively slow down your machine, so that you could run older software that relied on the speed of older CPU's for timing.
This wouldn't happen with Half Life, because this was a solved problem by then, but imagine the original Half Life was designed to run at 60fps on the CPU's of the time, but you try to run it on a modern PC and all of a sudden everything in the game is sped up 10 times because you can now run it at 600fps, rendering it unplayable.
@@PandemonicHypercube do you say no to a challenge? :)
What a great question. Ryzen7 5800x, 32G Ram, 3070,standard settings, SSD. BF2042. Yup, runs faster fps with gaming mode off. Thanks.
How about hags?
Now do this with a CPU Bound and a GPU Bound system to see how it affects different setups.
And to think this useless and often FPS harming feature is enabled by default!
however!
Windows 11 or 10?
Most of your results are within the standard MoE, so I can't say these results really prove anything... however, it does make you wonder what the real purpose of game mode is??
Are you referring to Game Mode in Windows or Game Mode in the motherboard BIOS?
Windows
It’s the worst for my pc I kept getting so many dropped frames on Obs because of it😭🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Shame no 4 cores and 8 treads test with 16gb of system ram.
I had to turn game mode off as it sat my CPU temp at 89 which eventually crashed it so yeaaah.. it increased my frames but I can't afford to buy a new CPU after this one melts xD
Game Mode, Ahh the question that has been on every windows user minds since it was created. So what is game mode and what does it do? It allows all necessary resources to be priority of the game your playing. It stops WIndows Updates, virus scanner, and shuts startup menu items and puts them to sleep. It is like you are flying a space ship and your being chased by space pirates and you need to out run them so what do you do? You overclock your power by shutting down unnecessary resources so all power is routed to your ship. That is GAME MODE
If game mode doesn't make a significant difference it must have a different purpose otherwise why would you even bother to have game mode?
Who knows, maybe some devs in the comments will know what it actually does.
All of the Windows 11 gaming related features are tied to it, stuff like windowed mode optimization, AutoHDR, etc.
The actual power mode that affects scheduling is actually the least important thing that Game Mode does. It's the umbrella stuff that's tied to it that you want, so you want to make sure your games are eligible for game mode in the first place, whether you use it or not.
For all this to work, it's important to open the Xbox Game Bar and ensure that Windows even identifies what you're running as a game. For a lot of launch titles or non-AAA titles (and even some AAA titles, rofl), Windows doesn't know that what you're running is a game. Takes weeks or even months before Windows automatically identifies stuff as games and you'll need to manually click "Remember this is a Game".
@@MrGencyExit64 so its a "i feel good from enabling this feature, it says game mode".. similar to the turbo button, people pressed it since it said "turbo" and it was everything but turbo mode.. but the majority of the people did bet their children that the turbo button made everything go faster..
@@lokelaufeyson9931in case you're unaware, the purpose of the Turbo button was actually so that you could turn it off and run old software that ran too fast on the CPU's of the day.
Like old games that didn't use timers, so the logic was frame rate dependent. Which made those games unplayable on CPU's that were orders of magnitude faster.
The Turbo button on my old Pentium 60 if turned off, made it run at the speed of a 286 (I don't know which model of 286, I just specifically remember the motherboard manual specifying 286). You had to switch it before boot time though, otherwise it did absolutely nothing.
@@PandemonicHypercube yea, the turbo button was the first technical irony
There's not much difference. It depends on the game imo. So I opted to remain game mode to ON. You'll never notice 1FPS difference tho.
You will notice windows updates while gaming if it's turned off though... Always have it on.
Why is game mode a thing then?!
12:09 ( 72.9% ?) you sure ? from 24.6 to 52.8 is more like 115%
