Update 10/9/21 7:00am PT: AMD and Microsoft have announced a performance problem with AMD processors that results in up to 15% less performance in some games. The newly-reported issue is separate from the gaming tests below, which outline the impact of security features, and merely serve to set a lower baseline for our tests. That means the performance deltas measured below remain accurate.
Original Article:
Microsoft is taking yet more backlash over its Windows 11 launch, as recent reports indicate that buyers of new pre-built systems could purportedly lose up to 28% of their gaming performance due to frame-rate-crushing security measures. That has gamers up in arms, so we did several rounds of testing in our labs with some of the best CPUs for gaming from Intel and AMD.
Benchmarked: Do Windows 11’s Security Features Really Hobble Gaming Performance?
How much do they hurt, and how to opt out.
