Nvidia drivers aren’t fucking up for me at all. Upgraded without incident (other than the [in]security features being changed to ON by default - keep an eye on that) in about 20 minutes.
Everything is running fine for me. AVG and nVidia apps needed to reboot to finish an upgrade, other than that, it was very smooth. I’m enjoying it so far. I’m going to take the plunge and enable Edge (Internet Explorer) as my default browser for a few days and force myself to mess with it for casual browsing and see how it goes.
Realistically, I’ll probably just go play more Rising Thunder though. Already tested and confirmed that it works fine on Win10
I wanna see some fps tests for games on windows 7 vs the latest CURRENT 10. Didn’t they say they improved performance for graphic cards or something? I doubt it.
There are multiple tests showing that FPS improved from Win8 to 8.1 in some games (albeit sometimes negligible - just a few frames - in some test cases), and this is more designed to cater to gaming than 8.1. Any particular reason that you doubt it? Or just because “lol M$”?
Upgrading the OS shouldn’t really affect the frame rates, outside of maybe a couple here or there due to it being more or less efficient and using more or less resources in the background.
Directx 12, which should be coming soon, is supposed to bring significant performance boosts…but it hasn’t been released and no developers have released anything that supports it (as far as I know). Probably late this year or early next year we’ll see the first few games that support it, and maybe actually take advantage of all the new features.
It isn’t going to be a magic bullet that makes all your games run better.
EDIT:
Windows 10 is the of end of PC gaming. Probably the end of the personal computer as we know it.
8.1 and 10 are virtually identical in gaming performance at the moment. Looked like 10 was a half a frame better in some games, and half slower in others.
Guru3d did some preliminary benchmarks, nothing too in depth.
anybody ever have an audio issue involving their pc saying their speakers aren’t plugged in, when they’re using an HDMI cable to connect to a tv as a monitor?
Installed windows updates and newest AMD drivers, and now it’s telling me that nonsense, and I can’t get any fucking sound
edit: fuck that, deleted and reinstalled all my audio drivers. Thanks for bungling that up, AMD.
Ok, took a bit of work (I had disk errors and a full partition), but I got windows 10 to work. My wife’s computer was 1 click, which was great.
Couldn’t update my NVIDIA drivers, but after a restart everything worked fine. Wasn’t able to try any games before work, but I’ll get after it tonight.
If anyone has trouble, I bookmarked a bunch of resources I used to get everything to work.
I was able to do a forced upgrade without any real problems, save for upgrading the nVidia drivers before AND after the upgrade to get the video to display properly. That was weird.
You’ll have a 100 mb partition built in somewhere. It’s where the boot info is. Mine was completely full (of crap) which wouldn’t allow the installation to even start, but I found some info on how to clean it up.
After that, it would get to 60% through the install and give me a “something went wrong” error. I had to run the windows diagnostic tool to fix some disk errors, and also run the chkdsk command from cmd.
All in all, I started at 5 pm, at 9:45 I got it to the actual full install screen and I went to bed. My wife hit install at 8 pm, it was installed at 915, and her computer is… Dated.
Actually, I always discovered that the culprit is motherfucking Realtek onboard audio. It sometimes jumps right in the way when you switch to HDMI and goes “HEY REMEMBER ME? DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME, YOUR ONLY AUDIO DEVICE! BEANS AND FRANKS!” like a retarded kid and then when it realizes the mistake it doesn’t ever move out of the way even though it looks exactly like you have HDMI selected as your device.
You can sometimes fix it by disabling both devices and then selecting the correct one, I’ve had it require me to actually go disable the shit in the BIOS before it would finally let me hear anything through my HDMI connection.
Did the same thing with my digital audio interface, which is why 9/10 I don’t even have Reaktek enabled. But now that I don’t swap cards all that often because I have another PC for music production/recording It’'s tolerable.
I’m loving it so far. Edge (Internet Explorer) is still shit though. I’m running everything the same as I was two days ago on Win8.1 - Steam games (USF4 was what I tested), Heroes of the Storm, Rising Thunder, Smite all run without incident.
edit: You will get re-prompted to enter all of your applications as exceptions in Windows firewall.
Magicka: Wizard Wars on Steam works. Ultima 8 and Syndicate on Origin both work. Everything is fine in my upgrade. I’m as shocked as you are.
I had to upgrade all my drivers and Windows updates last night to prep for installation, and when my pc rebooted, my audio was fucked up. Spent the next few hours checking bios settings, disabling random shit (windows only accepts one audio device at a time), and eventually just deleted and reinstalled the drivers to fix shit.
edit: I probably already mentioned it in here, but the streaming from Xbox One works surprisingly well, so it’s also nice to be able to play my Xbox upstairs. Not that I will, but it’s nice to be able to. I’m very basic in KI, but I was able to pull off all my combos with no issues, and perform breakers, counter breakers, alphashadow counters, everything that I remember how to do haha.
