While many users don't know that Windows 11 is coming , many gamers around the world can't wait to get their hands on Microsoft's latest effort to find out how much and how game performance will change.Apparently, however, despite the claims of the Redmond company, there would be a detail that could drastically reduce in-game performance on some systems with Windows 11.
The culprit has a name and a surname: this is the VBS option , or Virtualization-Baser Security , a system already introduced with Windows 10 in an optional way to improve the security of the whole system, able to create its own dedicated subsystem and which could somehow have a substantial impact on performance.
According to the tests reported by the source, the impact varies greatly from title to title, going from a drop of just 5% in FarCry New Dawn to 10% in the 3DMark TimeSpy synthetic benchmark. On Horizon Zero Dawn, an impact of 25% on the framerate is reached, while on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, peaks of up to 28% are reached .It is still unclear how it will be distributed on the market. What has emerged so far is that computers passed from Windows 10 to Windows 11 through the Insider program , therefore through an update, have not undergone changes to this setting, therefore remained disabled.Even with a clean install it doesn't seem to make any substantial changes.
It remains to be discovered, however, the approach adopted by the OEMs of Microsoft who, in some cases, will adopt a conservative strategy in terms of security, enabling it by default.What is about to enter our homes is an operating system devoted to security and with important implementations under this profile, to the point of having made a lot of talk in terms of prerequisites for installation. In this regard, we recently tried to figure out if there is a way to install Windows 11 by bypassing the TPM check .
