GOG Getting Ready for Windows 10

[WYP]

GOG is saying that the transition to Windows 10 may be the "smoothest transition to a brand new system" ever.

Sounds good, now we just need a client that "supports multiple protocols".

But yeah, like that'll ever happen... ;

I'm wondering if existing DX11 games will see any performance enhancements on the OS ?

So far the Insiders report the same performance between Win7, 8.1, 10

I doubt it. Windows 8 was important for AMD mainly, and those who run more than four cores. Windows 7 simply didn't get it but I can't see any performance boosts coming given it's running on the 8.1 shell.

Mind you, those who are still on 7 will get a nice boost and won't have to bugger around with core parking or any of the other hacks.

I saw quite huge gains in CPU intensive games when switching from 7 to 8 on my FX 8320. I got 15% higher score in 3dmark.

It also depends if you run amd or nvidia. On amd you might see some improvements
