- I asked everyone in a previous video if you wanted me to test Game Mode and an overwhelming number of you asked for it. So since you asked for it, here it is. We are testing Game Mode to once and for all to determine if you should turn it on or off.

Thanks for doing these benchmarks. At least someone took the time to do this for us. Great video!
I was testing out the Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (HAGS) setting along with Game Mode, but I only tested in Minecraft, with and without a shader mod (really impacts the performance) and the results were interesting...
Both HAGS and Game Mode on :
Without shaders : max. 1312 / avg. 1285 / min. 1243
With shaders : max. 208 / avg. 205 / min. 204
Both HAGS and Game Mode off :
Without shaders : max. 1382 / avg. 1363 / min. 1344
With shaders : max. 219 / avg. 215 / min. 214
Only Game mode on :
Without shaders : max. 1354 / avg. 1333 / min. 1233
With shaders : max. 217 / avg. 215 / min. 214
Only HAGS on :
Without shaders : max. 1443 / avg. 1416 / min. 1362
With shaders : max. 220 / avg. 218 / min. 217
The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling was the winner. GPU and CPU usage stayed fairly the same throughout all tests, but game mode made the gpu% increase by quite a bit. I would love to see this being tested in other games too👍

@penileymajorey7174 you know, emoji spamming makes you look real immature. And go test for yourself lol.
@penileymajorey7174 You should search "Destroying My RTX 4090 With Incredible Minecraft Graphics" and watch until the end of the video, some minecraft modifications will give you 5 fps even with the RTX 4090.
The game is heavily modifiable and it's possible to get 8k resource packs with ray-tracing for each pixel that makes any new game look "old".
It's not about competition on which game runs better, I was just commenting about something that could be potentially turned into a video.
Rather than artificially downgrading I would like to see this using an older gen system, like a 2600k or a 4790k or whatever. Just something using an older architecture and doesnt have all the bells and whistles (althought the 4790k is still fairly beastly imo)
4790 is still a killer CPU, have a PC with the non k version and a GTX 1660 super.
@@viperdemonz-jenkins I have the same. Mine is a k though. I'm pretty happy with mine.
Idk if I am facing a placebo effect but I have noticed a pattern with the game mode on windows 11 (not sure about Win10 but I fear it will be the same or worse). What happens here with me is that on my current setup of i5 10400F with RTX 3060 12G (windows 11 of course and HAGS on or off didn't feel the difference but for me I kept it on) on cpu bound games game mode off seems to be working ideal and performing the best as it can and the difference margin is hugely noticeable but when it comes to gpu bound games, game mode on seems to take away the winning trophy. So with that being said, the conclusion for me on my system is:
CPU bound games = Game mode off
GPU bound games = Game mode on
This worked for me but I would love to see others test my theory as well and hoping to see good results.

When you use Game Mode, Windows prioritizes your gaming experience by turning things off in the background. When you’re running a game, Game Mode:
Prevents Windows Update from performing driver installations and sending restart notifications
Helps achieve a more stable frame rate depending on the specific game and system
doesnt even do that tho@HazardXXX
@HazardXXX Now that you mention it I just remembered that I'm using ReviOS and it has windows update disabled by default (I can still enable it at any time). So I guess it's better to disable Game Mode since Win update won't even be active.
It wouldn't make any obvious difference since you're running it on a system that doesn't really have anything running on the background.
A real test would be playing games while:
- Netflix is installed(along with its annoying notifications)
- discord
- Microsoft Teams
- Chrome
- A second monitor
- Maybe while streaming with OBS
Then run a test. Game mode minimizes resource allocation on other apps that aren't using more than sufficient D3D rendering in the system. This is how it knows you are playing games in the first place. So if you only literally have the game open on a fresh install, with no other apps/3rd party software running in the background, then this test is fruitless.
When you put it like that…
GPU scheduling on or off during your testing? Also, in game mode you should go through and make sure that the games you are testing are all set to High Performance (Do not use Let Windows Decide), Don't use optimizations for windowed games and Don't use Auto HDR are both CHECKED and you run all games in Full Screen mode when testing. Under System>Display>Graphics>Default graphics settings: Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling should be on (If your system can handle it), Reduce Latency: ON and Auto HDR: Off. Those capable should also enable Resizable Bar with GPU Scheduling. Ultimately, Game Mode all depends on your hardware and whether or not you have done optimizations yourself on your system or not and whether you have streaming software running and a bunch of other factors. Ultimately, this is a setting that you should take the time and test yourself as all systems and setups will be different.
I think Game Mode is for non-tweaked systems. If you already removed the bloatware, you optimize the power plan, unpark cores, have correct drivers in your system, etcetera, then i think Game mode could actually hurt performance more because it may try to "help" Windows when it doesn't need it anymore. I am gonna try with it off for a while.
yeah probably, i have it fully optimized i think i will keep it off
Seen much of a difference so far? Will try myself this week
@@easymoneeey I think it made The Witcher 3 stutter a hell of a lot less with Gamemode Off and using RivaTuner to lock the framerate to 60 fps to get correct framepacing. With Gamemode On, with any fps limiter from RivaTuner, the game would microstutter like crazy for any small action or sutff that happened on the screen, so my guess is that so far it's better off.
Didn't help there either in my experience. Difference on my partners laptop (who isn't a power gamer) was night and day, with turning it off making the games playable though the frame drops and freeze ups. Plus for multiplayer games on any system it's super bad, because it de-prioritise the network communication, leading to increase lag, system freezes and rubber banding, depending on how the games net code is written.
Very interesting! I didn’t expect a negative affect from game mode but I will still try to see if it works for my pc or not
An awesome video as always sir, I always wanted to know if it really does makes a difference thank you
Running in game benchmarks.
I think game mode was designed for older or low end systems in mind, but I could be wrong. Might I suggest testing this with something like a dual or quad core CPU, 8gb or 16gb of ram and something like a gtx 1080, rx 470 or something that slighty struggles with todays games. Maybe the lower the system specs the better game mode works?
Good video. I always kept it off because I just debloat Windows 11 and that is my game mode lol
I thought all game mode did was shut down background stuff and updates while gaming..
its hard to impossible to know when you play a game, a game is a program like any other program.. how can you see that this specific load on the cpu is a game?
Turn off updates? impossible, MS wont allow you to do that.. never. MS wont allow anyone to have a chance to abuse that feature.
Shut down background stuff? no, microsoft will never allow the users to do that. It goes against microsoft policy.
Game mode isn’t designed to increase frame rate. It’s to decrease latency in your controller input. With it off, your inputs via controller have a small lag, which in first person shooters makes a massive difference. Most notably this can really damage your ability to control recoil on some games, as the lag means you’re always slightly behind the bounce and wobble.
and it works the other way around, the enabled game mode gives a high input delay and a floating mouse.
@@alexandernazarov7636noticed this too
I use game mode all the time.
I play a lot of war thunder and without game mode i usually get about 100 fps and with game mode i get about 120 fps. One time i somehow got 160 fps lol.

Thank you, appreciate it.
@@CyberCPU i subscribed your channel cuz you're professional in computer stuff like me and two you have nice Beard
2:05 While I get that both RTX 3060 & 32 GB of DDR4 aren't exactly expensive nowadays, it's funny that you say a PC with a combined RAM & VRAM large enough to fit AAA games of yesteryear entirely is 'midrange'.
The other thing that is so important for professional gamer is mouse delay , I tested game mode on and of in resident evil 4 remake and when I turned it one my mouse movements got delay 😂 but when I turned it of there was no delays as you think it changed your hz from 60 to 90 , that's insane
The problem with competitive gaming is input lag, not FPS. You need to test process time, Latency GPU + CPU . I can have 5 more FPS, but with 1 ms of delay added.
In my end using an Asus tuf A17 laptop. Having "game mode" turned on, ignores set cpu clock speed that ive use on my power plan which i intentionally downclock so I'll get a better temps on cpu making my setting useless so I turned that off just for that reason.
I swear the "TURBO" button made the computer slower...
no, it made the computer faster. Trust me bro. Always enable the turbo button.
That was actually the purpose of the button, when turned off it'd massively slow down your machine, so that you could run older software that relied on the speed of older CPU's for timing.
This wouldn't happen with Half Life, because this was a solved problem by then, but imagine the original Half Life was designed to run at 60fps on the CPU's of the time, but you try to run it on a modern PC and all of a sudden everything in the game is sped up 10 times because you can now run it at 600fps, rendering it unplayable.
@@PandemonicHypercube do you say no to a challenge? :)
Game Mode, Ahh the question that has been on every windows user minds since it was created. So what is game mode and what does it do? It allows all necessary resources to be priority of the game your playing. It stops WIndows Updates, virus scanner, and shuts startup menu items and puts them to sleep. It is like you are flying a space ship and your being chased by space pirates and you need to out run them so what do you do? You overclock your power by shutting down unnecessary resources so all power is routed to your ship. That is GAME MODE
If game mode doesn't make a significant difference it must have a different purpose otherwise why would you even bother to have game mode?
Who knows, maybe some devs in the comments will know what it actually does.
All of the Windows 11 gaming related features are tied to it, stuff like windowed mode optimization, AutoHDR, etc.
The actual power mode that affects scheduling is actually the least important thing that Game Mode does. It's the umbrella stuff that's tied to it that you want, so you want to make sure your games are eligible for game mode in the first place, whether you use it or not.
For all this to work, it's important to open the Xbox Game Bar and ensure that Windows even identifies what you're running as a game. For a lot of launch titles or non-AAA titles (and even some AAA titles, rofl), Windows doesn't know that what you're running is a game. Takes weeks or even months before Windows automatically identifies stuff as games and you'll need to manually click "Remember this is a Game".
@@MrGencyExit64 so its a "i feel good from enabling this feature, it says game mode".. similar to the turbo button, people pressed it since it said "turbo" and it was everything but turbo mode.. but the majority of the people did bet their children that the turbo button made everything go faster..
@@lokelaufeyson9931in case you're unaware, the purpose of the Turbo button was actually so that you could turn it off and run old software that ran too fast on the CPU's of the day.
Like old games that didn't use timers, so the logic was frame rate dependent. Which made those games unplayable on CPU's that were orders of magnitude faster.
The Turbo button on my old Pentium 60 if turned off, made it run at the speed of a 286 (I don't know which model of 286, I just specifically remember the motherboard manual specifying 286). You had to switch it before boot time though, otherwise it did absolutely nothing.
@@PandemonicHypercube yea, the turbo button was the first technical irony
just a thought . i hear and seen (cause i playing it)Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is having pc performance issues. Game mode maybe?though
I have Windows 23h2 and the protection real time in windows security crashed and it won't turn on. I tried all the methods from the Microsoft website and any method on RUclips and it did not work. Do you have a useful solution?
I'm thinking all the bloatware that eventually builds up on a system after a few months usage is what 'Game Mode' helps disable and prevent from sapping CPU and GPU cycles... with a new install, there's really nothing for it to work on. Didn't do any research, so forgive my ignorance if I'm way off - this is just an edumacatededed guess as a life-long network engineer and IT person.
Thanks for all your work to benchmark this! When I first read about Window's "game mode", I knew it was just a gimmick - since even games are dependent on the other, core services of the OS to run well. What happens when you take resources away from the code implementing your network stack in a multi-player game? Nothing good, that's for sure! My gaming rig is also my home media server, my security camera hub, my home backup server, my on-line backup server, hosting my daughter's small commercial web site, running BOINC with several "spare time" projects - all without missing a beat on a 10-year old, 3.3GHZ i7-5820k processor (6 cores/12 threads) with 32GB of main memory. If I throttled those other applications, it probably wouldn't even help my gaming much at all! More important than a buzz-word "gaming mode" is having a decent memory manager and scheduler in the OS, so all the ongoing workload is executed as fairly and rationally as possible!
Hello I need some help and would like to know If anybody can fix my issues. After using advast and having it update 17 outdated drivers I can no longer open my Obs studio without it crashing. I also can't update my windows either.

what does Game Mode do ? ( Source MS )
1. Prevents Windows Update from performing driver installations and sending restart notifications
2. Helps achieve a more stable frame rate depending on the specific game and system
so it seems its only there to prevent Windows from installing something and sending out the Restart Notification, while in Game
Yes, which is why this video is clickbait based on ignorance
@@christophervanzetta why does it cause some people stutters having it on then
Game testing never seems to into MSFS 2020, its a shame as this will give a good system a proper test
the video we needed
I would really like to know what game mode does what processes it turns off or on
8:43 Isnt that only for the boot of the system?
Game Mode prolly only helps when you're cpu bottlenecked or the game and/or windows are on an HDD.
No idea how you took the averages though, you would need to do multiple tests with the same settings, if you don't have proper benchmarks where stuff always stay the same.
my question is, will this difference change with difference resolution = .=?
like 1080 vs 1440 vs 4k, i mean from my understand there higher the res, it will go toward gpu bound regardless of CPU/GPU spec doesn't matter what game, maybe game mode will act differently between the different res = .=????
What is game mode actually do then. I meant who will need to have it on if not for performance. Does it do anything else
Can you make video to make a software in which by one click we can install all software
bro I didnt know I had it on until i stated thinking about it and saw this video so thanks also my first video
What about Hardware accelerating gpu scheduling?
I recommend a gaming pc as just a gaming pc install atlas remove edge browser install Opera run the installer 2 or 3 times to make shur it takes install gme version of video drivers debloat them. And all good
If you only have 1 computer, do dual boot regular windows for everything, none gaming. I also install avg free driver updater and advanced system care enable ram cleaner and use nvme or ssd
Game mode sounds like that old trick you used to make windows 98 faster on slower machines.. change so the apps was working in the background instead of in the "main memory".
It did help to lower ram usage but ram usage affect 0.00001% of the performance. The biggest improvements is gained from a good GPU/ SSD/m.2/ CPU and motherboard.
The cooling have a semi big affect as well.. no heat = no clock reduction.
Most motherboards will optimize the performance by default and run the computer at the best and most stable speed possible (noticed that when a motherboard "overclocked" my cpu when the watchdog was iffy, random crashes was a thing after that)
But in todays computer where you have 16 Gb, 32 Gb, 500 Gb? Ram?! i dont think it will make that much of a difference if you relocate the ram usage and release more of the ram memory for the game if you have 16 Gb ram.. Windows use something like 1.5 Gb - 3-4Gb ram in stock mode (3-4 Gb ram if you use triple screen setup like i do).
The worst i have pushed my windows 10 is 99% ram usage and it was a case of program crashing and semi heavy load (I dont know why it kicked up to 99% since it was a while ago) and all i felt was a half a second skip in the games at times..
My highest normal ram usage is 8-9 Gb .. not even close to 16..
Best game mode for windows is to uninstall all the bloat and block all automatic connections with a firewall, no random downloads or installs while you play a game and maximum performance.
I play on linux that have all automatic features turned off and i have damn good performance even if i use a gtx 1070 .. You cant test windows and get reliable results since windows will throw in a background download and install while you test and start a few other features that do something that obscure the test results..
my highest was 28 gb...... the game i was playing has a memory leak
@@V3RAC1TY a "small" memory leak? :)
You literally wrote a book to just boast about using Linux stfu bro
Now do this with a CPU Bound and a GPU Bound system to see how it affects different setups.
Okay so I have a question my pc is not working like it's suppose to, it keeps stating that OpenCl.dll is deleted or corrupted can I get some help, any advice on how to solve it?
So Game Mode is better OFF, lmao
great video
Mid range? Bro thats a beast you have.
Yeah first it actually depends on your computer that you are using If you're using a crappy computer with Windows 11 then you're going to have a pretty bad time I have game mode on and I never have a hard time
how does windows know its a game vs some program?
Enjoy the content, but I have to say, the limited cpu / ram testing is quite unrealistic, 8 logical cores and 16GB of ram I think would've been better, hard to build a system with lower specs than that. I'm impressed the games ran with 4 logical cores though. I wonder if game mode is made for when there are background tasks being run, suppressing them?
Try benchmark with win 11 tiny.. And check it
My game mode always auto turns off even if i put it on. But yah frame times are not worth loosing even a single frame to get like a half or 1 fps more avarage xD
Game Mode stays off.
And for anyone with stuttering or recording stutter/dropped frames etc. TURN OFF Hardware Acceleration GPU Scheduling. It is normally on for a lot of people and causes nothing but pain and suffering for gaming and or encoding. Its a windows work boost feature but a game/recording/VR gaming killer.
Never have it on...
That is not a high end system. it's mid range with an entry level gpu.
Shame no 4 cores and 8 treads test with 16gb of system ram.
Awesome thanks for this. Was looking forward to seeing this testing after you mentioned it awhile ago.
As someone who mains cs2 for the most part, its staying off. Lol. Though id say as cs2 is imho still in beta, it probably just needs more optimisation for windows more niche features.
I had to turn game mode off as it sat my CPU temp at 89 which eventually crashed it so yeaaah.. it increased my frames but I can't afford to buy a new CPU after this one melts xD
Why is game mode a thing then?!
If you play vr disable game mode and hags
So if game mode is better OFF why they created it?
Windows 11 or 10?
Honestly I have zero trust in moderm Microsoft so I'd turn it off.
All game mode really does is make it so windows isnt checking for available updates while an application is running.
game mode was causing more stuttering for my 6800m so im just going keep it off
Game mode was intended to improve latency why are we looking at fps?
And to stop windows updates while gaming...
Are you referring to Game Mode in Windows or Game Mode in the motherboard BIOS?

You didn't test any Microsoft games like Halo or Forza it may only work with their own products
Yes I did. Dirt Rally 2 is a Microsoft game.
@@CyberCPU Codemasters. Now owned by EA.
@@honoredshadow1975really? I didn't know that.
basically turn off game mode as it hinder performance
Pretty suspect of your "low end machine" numbers. Cyberpunk is not running with 8gb of ram and 2 cores on a cpu. It would fail to even launch in 99% of scenarios and that 1% you magically got in it would be single digit frame rates. Ignoring game mode debate the fact you said you only lost 1.5 fps going from a 6c/12t to a 2c/4t and 32gb ram to 8gb ram in cyberpunk... Yeah ok lol.
Looking at the video actually unless it is just irrelevant Broll footage with makes no sense at all then the fact most of your "benchmarks" of randomly playing games which would have different loads on screen at different times you some how managed to get almost the exact same average fps in some cases literally identical come off it lmao. You would struggle to get fps numbers from that close between tests in a 100% controlled benchmark test where everything is exactly the same and you aren't even changing any settings that are meant to change performance.
I wondered why I have heard over the internet what a awful reputation this channel has. Makes sense now. Seems to be mainly videos comparing features in windows or control panel which are popular debates for how they perform but you just throw out what appear to be flat out fake numbers to try and trick people into believing you. Same with your fake "high performance power plan has better 1% lows than balanced" it literally doesn't. Every setting in balanced plan is 100% maxed while in any gaming application. They are literally the exact same settings between plans. It's only out of 3d applications where any argument between plans could make even the slightest difference (speaking milliseconds of responsiveness in windows)
I don't like to listen to rumours online without doing research to find out like I heard digital foundry had a bad rep but after research found it wasn't well deserved. This channel on the other hand lmao. Yep. Absolutely zero respect fake benchmarks fake numbers just miss information spreading going wild. For anyone curious on how to spot a miss information and not respected tech channel on youtube a couple easy points. Views to subs. This guy averages fairly high views on his videos (because they are all miss information clickbait) but low sub count showing people click the video, see he is fake and click off. Also the sponsor. Only sponsor a tech channel pulling 50-100k views per video can get is a malicious windows key sponsor... Not even vpns wanting to touch this channel lol.
tl;dr this is another fake result miss information tech channel this beautiful site is full of. Better black list and check online for the reputable tech youtube channel list to get real information. For anyone curious also gamers nexus has done bits on game bar and hags in windows and so on and shown they actually do improve performance even on high end machines... But yah know. One is a respectable big tech channel that actually knows his stuff. The other is a guy with fake window key sponsors doing fake benchmarks and rather than actually using a different lower end system for realistic testing instead pretends to lower his specs of his "high" end machine. Also extremely suspicious that a "tech" channel would not have test bench set up to easily test different machines... Like this is not even big tech channel stuff I watch quite a few small 5-20k gaming benchmark channels that test all sorts of different machines. Then again if you are putting fake benchmarks and fake numbers anyway why waste time using a different machine right lol. Hope everyone does the world a favour and stops supporting channels like these.
thanks for this video....game mode seems like a waste.
but Game Mode On stops windows from auto updating etc... it pauses a few things you don't want running all of a sudden mid game including any scans also.
Can you please also test this on Windows 10 22H2 ?
commenting for algorithm
Game Mond is going to be disable on my end now LOL - even that each system is different and I mostly do MSFS2020 - On that note Windows 12 going to be like with game option, Hmmm
Whilst it became obvious that on or off, it didn't really make much of a difference at all, the CS 2 analogy at the end didn't seem right because if you have a frame rate of 149, you still need a monitor capable of showing the difference, which even a 144Mhz screen would not do.
You mentioned the hot potato there, most people see a great and big number like 5500 FPS.. but they cant see the difference with their screen or even their own eyes..
The useless hunt for bigger numbers goes stupid and dumb when its impossible to see the difference or experience it.. To put it bluntly, the test program can virtually add 100-200 FPS and the person who use the program cant verify it it do it or not..
The issue is the 1% lows, those tend to indicate your stutters during gameplay, the lower it goes the more frequent, noticeable and impactful they are, and they took a major hit on the test with game mode on.
Off topic: 23H2 has slowed my computer down! Typical Windoz upgrade! CURSES!!! 😝 👎
yea, windows gain "weight" every update it get.. and more weight= move slower.. thats why you need to do a honest old fashion format C and reinstall windows once a year.
To remove that extra weight it have gained. A "restore" or a "reset" wont remove the added bloat over time..
league of legends dude
What I have come to expect from Microsoft, BS.
So Game Mode is pointless lol

"emulating a low end system" hahahahahah
In other words, 'Game mode' does exactly the same as 'Focus assist'.
How about the hardware accelerated GPU scheduling ?
If your cpu isn't that great then have it On. It offloads some of the work from the cpu to your gpu.
It's all within margin of error lol, it always felt like a placebo button.

Wow. I haven’t been on this channel in years, I’ve been subbed for years and i last saw you was on 10k, now almost 150k congrats!
Lowering thresholds may not quite be enough unfortunately. Your clock speeds are still the same and that may actually matter more than core count (depending on the game). Also there wasn't a way to drop gpu performance if that matters for game mode.
Still probably doesn't help performance though lol.
An awesome video as always . Keep up the good work :)
I've suspected game mode is mainly used for the Intel p-cores and e-cores and I've heard it helps on Wndows 11 but most of the time you really don't need to use game mode.
I thought the MSconfig CPU setting only works for when windows boot, u think when you set it to 4 cores, then you only will see 4 cores in taskmgr,dont think so. and even for the memory when set to 8Gb, you still will have 32.
I didnt test this but just want to let you know.
so that feature totally not for pro player to enable it
i just turn it off, thx for the video and comments are blow
TLDR - All these results are within margin of error. Game mode does nothing.
Should have tested Call of duty Warzone III.
