Windows 11 Game Mode Review – Does it Really Work?

We tested out the windows 11 game mode that is made especially for PC gamers to boost fps to see whether it works.

Gaming on a PC platform is always a significant advantage for video games. While on the console platform, you can get 120fps maximum with the latest Generation consoles like the PS5 for example, you can get an average of 300fps for the same game if you play that on a PC, but that includes if you have a beefy system. With the customization of CPU, GPU, and RAM, you can enjoy more fps with both performance and quality. Also, you can add some graphics mods to enhance the game, which looks even better than the original graphics.

Microsoft has released a new feature with Windows 11 operating system to provide PC gamers with better game performance. It is called Game Mode. Windows 11 Game Mode can be used when you are playing games. From the statement of Microsoft, this mode disables all other unnecessary background apps and tasks. It also prevents other apps from interfering or getting into work while playing a game. By doing this, the game runs faster rather than in normal mode.

But does this thing work? We are not saying that the windows 11 game mode doesn’t do these things, but the real question is about the ultimate result. To test out this Windows 11 Game Mode, we decided to run some modern gen games on the windows 11 operating system while the Windows 11 Game Mode is activated.

So without further delay, let’s check out the Windows 11 Game Mode Performance in Games and see if it works.

  1. I’m wondering beyond frame rates here. What is the operating temperature for say, 10 minutes of gaming on those games with game mode ON vs OFF. Is the computer gaining 1-3 FPS as well as reducing the system load? Because if all we’re looking at here are frames, we might be missing a bigger picture?
