Windows 10 versus World of Tanks

Source: http://world-of-ru.livejournal.com/3723077.html

Hello everyone,

to be brief: player Skyfoks actually tested, what Windows 10 will do with the same map (replay) on his laptop. The configuration is: i5-3210M, GT650M and 8GB RAM.

His settings (maximum texture quality and render distance, low landscape quality, high tree quality, everything else on minimum):

53641_600

Average FPS: Win8.1 – 71,66667, Win10 – 74,69697

Naturally, the results depend on your PC configuration, but apprently there’s no reason to be scared of allegedly abysmal performance of WoT under Windows 10.

  1. Seems important to note that the FPS didn’t generally drop as low on Win 10 as Win 8.1.

    • Yeah performance wise it’s an improvement but what intrigues me is that while 8.1 gets fps drops the 10 get’s an actual stable rise and when the fps plummets between 85-148 it drops even more in 10

      One way or another you look at it, it seems that 10 has more stable fps.

      • yeah more stable… on 1 map… with 1 replay… with 1 pc…

        we should spread the word – Win10 will save everyone from bad fps without a doubt…
        or maybe i’m just a little sarcastic about that extreme useless FPS comparison!

        • @ZombieFX

          I’m eagerly awaiting your review of WOT on windows 10 !
          But I’m sure you already know that Windows 10 build 9926 loads WOT significantly faster than windows 8.1 does.

      • Just like 9.0 test server gave us.

        (For those who dont know, perfomance on test server was very good, on live server it was nightmare.)

      • To be fair, system stability can be very hard to predict until very strict tests were made. It’s just safer to assume the system is unstable if there are no proofs.

        On the other hand, indeed, system stability has nothing to do with it’s performance, that is unless they want to rework the system to make it stable and thus changing its performance but It’s still viable to test WoT on Win 10.

    • How about users try to learn to take care of their own PCs?
      Vista was not bad at all, the problem is that many manufacturers loaded it on PCs without the minimal requirements to run Aero properly and didn’t bother to change settings, bloating it with third party crapware on top of that, also Microsoft enforced for the first time some good programming practices that kept telling developers to use 10 years in advance.

      To me it was more stable than XP and once tweaked a bit just as fast.
      Same for Windows 8, it’s faster and better optimized than 7 but people apparently cannot be bothered to learn just a little…

      • The only problem with Windows 8 is the metro UI.

        That can easily be fixed in less than 2 minutes, but so many people were turned off by that retarded UI that they just called the entire OS a failure despite it actually being better than 7.

        I know I was reluctant to even give it a try because of all the crap I had heard and how happy I was with 7. But once I actually bothered to give it a try, I was hooked.

  2. Windows 10 will be free for Windows 7/8 users the first year guys..So be ready for the news!

  3. It would be interesting to know, how many test runs per system were made. Fewer than 10 runs per system is not even that accurate and the result falls within the margin of measurement error.
    Also as a sidenote, for clarification, the graph should have labeled for which each axis stands, especially the x axis.

    As some pointed out, upgrades from 7, 8, 8.1 will be completely free in the first year after release of windows 10.

    • “As some pointed out, upgrades from 7, 8, 8.1 will be completely free in the first year after release of windows 10.”

      yeah right, … what if I need to reinstall it after a year ? will I get cd-key ?
      will it disable my current Win7 license ? What if I want to roll back ?
      Will it be tied to HW or can I install it on different PCs as well ? (replacing laptop or buying new PC.. can I use the same windows ?)

      I got boxed ultimate edition, will I get ultimate edition of W10 ?

      There’s still gazillion questions to be answered regarding this “free upgrade”…
      So I wouldn’t be so hyped about it yet.

        • well in that case its not OS for me :D

          I’m replacing hardware far too often. If I had to buy new OS every time upgrade or replace my laptop, well never mind.

        • And then you replace your CPU, requiring a Motherboard change because the socket type has changed…

          It’ll still have a license key.

          You may not see it, but it will be there, and you will be able to extract it if you change / upgrade your PC

          • I know you can get it from registry.. thing is, can you actually activate it (online activation) on another PC ?

  4. I have the same configuration like him, but I can’t get average fps higher than 40 on same settings and if I try to play on minimum settings on “improved” graphics, nearly every secound battle I have fps drop from for example 40 to 10. Why does this happens to me?

    • depends on the manufacturer.

      There are two versions of GT650M
      one, more common, with slower GDDR3 memory and one with faster, more expensive, GDDR5 memory.

      Might depend on many things though.. 650M is about same performance as GTX 560M – I had a chance to try this card in the past, was able to get 30-35fps on very high setting, improved rend.

      btw, drops from 40 to 10 might as well be throttling issue, Install Throttlestop and turn off BDPROCHOT, make sure to clean fans etc.

  5. Windows 10 in its current state of technical preview is absolutely unoptimized and unusable. No point in such a comparison, especially on notebook hardware.

      • It’s a notebook HW, nobody who takes gaming seriously plays on such HW. And I bet the W10 was a fresh install and the W8 was sitting there for some time, which would easily result in the -3 average fps. Correct me if im wrong.

  6. Wait, so WoT drops in performance on Windows 8?

    By how much roughly? I’m planning on a new rig in a few weeks and wanna run this maxed out.

    Planned rig –

    Windows 8.1
    i7 4790k
    Noctua NH-D15 (plan to OC that chip a fair bit)
    16GB 1866mhz ram
    Asus Maximus VII Hero
    Samsung 840 EVO 500GB x2
    MSI R9 270X 4GB (will eventually replace that with either a GTX980, or whatever new card AMD brings out)

    • on that kind of rig, I wouldnt be much worried about drops…

      Yes it might drop from 120fps to 90fps once in blue moon, who cares ? especially on 60Hz screen where it wont even display more than 60 frames…

      Oh, and if wot is your main game of interest, I’d go for nvidia… wot seems to have much less issues with green cards.

      • The graphics card is a latter thought mate, as of now i want 2x SSD’s, with 2x 4TB drives for additional storage, more ram & a better cpu. My AMD Phenom II 965 @4GHz struggles big time with WoT.

        Also, i wanna wait & see what AMD lay down on the table with their new gpu’s.

        • just sayin’ you shouldnt be worried about fps drops. You might have some, but you wont notice them. It’s not like it will drop from 100fps down to 15 or anything

      • You seem to be under the impression that WoT has a hard lock on frames, it doesn’t, any PC capable of going above 60 FPS in WoT (which is pretty much any mainstream gaming PC or better) will have great benefits in WoT, it might not increase the speed of the game at double the normal speed at 120fps or so, but any increase over 60 will slightly increase the gameplay speed, significantly increase fluidity and accuracy/response of the game.

  7. I have two computers (and an imac) an older one running win 7, and a newer one running win 8.1. I would say 8.1 is a good OS (not nearly as good as my mac OS but thats like comparing oranges with, well apples :)) but better than win 7. WoT on my win 8.1 computer runs at 60 fps (due to the screen I use) and hardly ever drops below that apart from in sniper mode, when my tank is about to die, when there is a stutter that is noticeable.

    Win 8.1
    Intel i5-4670k CPU @ 3.40 mhz
    Nvidia GeForce GTX 770
    Old Maxtor HD
    8GB 2200mhz ram

    I understand that win 10 will not come until October 2015, any one confirm that?

      • The older machine is lower spec, but when I got the newer one, the older one was wiped, fresh install win 7 64, adobe flash and reader, teamspeak, WoT, and huge amount of unused hard drive as those are the only programs on it, no documents saved on it, no photos and no music.

        The new one has full MS office, saved docs, itunes etc as well as TS and WoT

  8. Don’t believe that and jump on Windows 10 unprepared, you will 100% suffer a performance loss of around 20% compared to Windows 8.1 and that isn’t just a personal opinion, it’s a general fact.

    Win 10 is a great improvement and the OS itself is even faster than 8.1 even if using an SSD, but the gaming part will be finalized towards the end of its production, not because it’s not good enough for gaming as it is even with the performance loss, but simply because no GPU developer actually bothers to make specific drivers for an OS that is in production and is around 7-8 months away from its official release.

  9. This is not the consumer release yet, so the performance will be miles higher than this.
    The Tech preview don’t have DirectX12, and for that reason, this comparison is very inaccurate, as it this isn’t technically Windows 10.

    The DirectX overhaul is one of the major improvements, if not the best improvement. You’re basically comparing a Stable OS with an unstable OS, and it performs better. Seems far more efficient.

  10. Win 10 a hard steer towards all in cloud environment, just have a look at office 365 trust us with your data we will not have a peek at it. (sarcasm)
    How any private person do buy office 365 with the free Libre Office around is for me a enigma.

    Win 10 subscription model, start paying now and onwards, you do not own a thing but are a renter.
    And with so much in the light of what been revealed the last years regarding privacy violations and personally I do not see one single aspect of the next gen of windows that do appeal to me.

    The day win xp and win 7 really are not usable any-more I will turn full linux, sure I will miss some games but personally I will never own any computer with win 10 on unless it drastically changes it’s business model.
