What Game Mode? I genuinely haven't heard of this until now.

Hmm....? I had this mode running by default and didn't even know it O.O.... I wonder if I turned it off and re-ran say Heavens Benchmark what different there would be hmmm...

Same! which is why I am now running some of my own tests via benchmarks lol, for some before and afters .

No issues here.

How is this new news, when Game mode first appeared on Windows 10 testing showed it best to keep it turned off, and now a few years later nothing’s changed.

Is game mode the one where contacts come up on the right, cpu performance monitor on the bottom left and network activity monitor?

I ask because if so I'm not having issues other than maybe some input lag on games at times. But I use a Xbox 1 controller to play FFXIV.

Did some testing with Heavens benchmark, didn't see any real difference >.>, I'll just leave it off. Maybe I'll stop seeing random black screens with my 5700XT lolz.

Quality control at Microsoft is in the toilet.
