[Rumor] Windows 10 to get a “game mode”
..WalkingCat said that a dll called "gamemode" was under the bonnet of the latest build of Windows 10 (version 14997). He said that it "looks like Windows will adjust its resource allocation logic (for CPU/[graphics] etc.)" to prioritize game performance.
This is like the way that the Xbox One runs a game. The feature will reportedly launch as part of the Creators update .. in spring....
Generally interesting rumor/speculation that potentially impacts all CPUs and GPUs to some extent -- but, I'm speculating, will be more important to weaker gaming systems.
