We are using a rig with an AMD Ryzen processor and an NVidia GeForce RTX graphics card along with 16 GB DDR4 memory for testing. We tested multiple visually demanding games on the same CPU and GPU-first in Windows 10, then after upgrading to Windows 11 (a clean install would give you the same results). The API is still new, so details are scarce, but the idea is to use a GPU to quickly decompress game assets and transfer them to the game almost instantaneously. Originally developed for the Xbox, Direct Storage intends to leverage the high-data transfer speeds of NVMe SSDs to deliver game data more efficiently. Not many games can actually use the new functionality yet, but we will probably see them coming into play in the coming few years. It boasts a bunch of gaming features like DirectX 12 Ultimate, Auto HDR, and Direct Storage. Microsoft is touting Windows 11 as the best Windows version for PC gamers. So gamers shouldn’t run into virtualization slowing down their computer. However, VBS does not come activated on personal or home versions of Windows, whether you are updating from Windows 10 or getting a fresh install. This technology provides a layer of protection beyond TPM by running Windows as a virtual subsystem. VBS was designed to allow enterprise users to isolate critical functionality from malware, preventing data theft and allowing them to shut down the system in event of it getting compromised. A term you may come across in forums talking about Windows 11’s gaming performance is Virtualization-Based Security (VBS).
