Microsoft's New Windows 10 Game Mode Will Maximize Gaming Performance (mspoweruser.com)
Microsoft has started officially testing a new Game Mode feature in Windows 10. From a report: Traces of the new option were found back in December, but the most recent test build of Windows 10 (15007) includes Game Mode in the Xbox app. MSPoweruser has supplied some screenshots of how you can enable the option, but Microsoft has not yet officially unveiled Game Mode for everyone to test. Microsoft's description lists the feature as a mode to let a PC make gaming the "top priority to improve your game's quality." It's still not clear exactly how Game Mode will improve gaming performance, but it's likely that Windows 10 will simply suppress system processes and other apps from taking too many CPU, GPU, and RAM resources away from the primary game being played.
So the improved gaming performance was a lie and now on to plan 2.
It reminds me of a time when I tried to order a meal from a fast-food place. Specifically, I said "I'd like the smallest one you have."
He says "We don't have a small, we have a Medium." I said "Ok, so I'll take that one, if it's the smallest one you have." He replies "We just have a medium, we don't have a Small," and then just stands there staring at me.
So I look him directly in the eyes and I say "Well, you have a Medium, a Large, and an Extra Large. I want the smallest of the three." He thinks about it for a minute and then replies "But we don't have a Small."
So I gave up arguing and just ordered the Medium. Things got really interesting when I paid him with two Susan B. Anthony dollars and a $2 bill. He ended up having to get his Manager to come over because he couldn't figure out how to deal with the money.
These are the people who think they should get paid $15/hour.
