Again I have just started but off the top, in areas that are of course difficult to quantify, it seems with W10 the light, shadows, reflections, and color are much improved.
Too soon to tell about the area of performance. Should know this weekend.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. Given that the graphics card is the same in both systems I would expect no difference in quality.
If it's a subjective opinion it would be nice to confirm it with something substantial. On a subjective basis the only way to be sure would be to run two like systems side by side one with W7 and one with W10.

Duke, do you have a dual boot with W7 and W10. If so some screen captures on each OS might be helpful.

That would indeed be helpful but unfortunately I do not.
I am not disagreeing with your notion that there shouldn't(?) be a difference I just feel that there is.
Perhaps the W10 drivers are getting the "best" out of my GTX 970 and the rest of my system? Dunno...

EDIT: Grammar! Got to stop typing into little phone screen without reading glasses.

Duke just admit it, you're trying to get all of us to switch to W10. Do you get a commission or something? biggrin

Hehe...that would defintely be "dirty money." May be more honor in taking a pay-off from a drug cartel. Least their honest SOB's.
Not to beat the MS drum but if you do try it you have 30 days for a "one-click" roll back to your old OS. For my newer system (granted a big game machine with 90% of it being WOFF) there were no problems in the change over.
I thought the graphical difference in WOFF was quite dramatic but perception can be a funny thing I suppose.

Plus, it just burns my hide they way they've handled this. I'm no moonbat conspiracy type, but in many ways we are starting to act like "sheeple". as others have said, if there was any other way to WOFF besides Windows, I'd be on it in a heartbeat.

Oh I am not disagreeing that the malware-type action and method by MS in the roll out of W10 was BS. Unfortunately they are the only game in town.
If someone would give me a viable, working alternative I would gladly drop them in a hot second.
I don't need all the damn bells, whistles, handholding, and "help" just a clickable interface to launch .exes's.
Oh...and do my taxes once a year. I get enough "serious" computing at work.
