对于游戏玩家来说，最新版本的Windows可谓喜忧参半。您不必在网上搜索很远就能找到来自游戏玩家的抱怨，即Windows 10 游戏性能不是应有的水平。这对每个人来说都不是真的，但它似乎很常见，值得引起一些关注。
Windows的每一次更新似乎都会带来新一轮的抱怨。它可能始于第一次主要的 Creators 更新，之后许多游戏玩家发现他们最喜欢的游戏充满了卡顿和不一致的帧速率。
有什么帮助似乎也无法预测。第一个成功的修复非常简单——在Xbox应用程序中关闭游戏 DVR(Game DVR)。它帮助了一些人，但许多人没有看到任何区别。
救援的游戏模式？
然而，一切都没有丢失，因为Windows 10中有一种特殊模式，称为Game Mode。游戏模式(Game Mode)的作用是使您正在玩的视频游戏在计算机上处于第一优先级。这意味着，如果任何后台进程（例如防病毒程序或Windows 更新(Windows Update)）导致您的游戏卡顿，它们现在将被抑制。
听起来不错吧？好吧，降低您的期望，因为在大多数情况下，游戏模式(Game Mode)不会提高您的每秒最大帧数。它可以(can )帮助的是一致的性能。这使玩游戏的体验变得更好，让您专注于游戏本身，而不是分散注意力。
此外，如果您想充分利用当前装备，同时启用游戏模式(Game Mode)，请务必阅读我关于如何在旧 PC 上流畅玩游戏的(how to play games smoothly on an old PC)帖子。
测试用例
我们用来测试游戏模式的计算机完美地展示了此功能如何帮助提高Windows 10中的游戏性能。这是一款主频为 4Ghz 的Haswell 4690K，配备 16GB RAM和Radeon R9 390。
它还配备了三星 850 (Samsung 850) EVO SSD。它不是 2018 年的尖端游戏 PC，而是典型游戏玩家可能拥有的一般类型计算机的一个很好的指标。
这台计算机在Windows 8.1(Windows 8.1)和Windows 10之间尤其表现出明显的性能差异。在Windows 8.1上，游戏非常流畅。在普通安装的Windows 10上也是如此，但是一旦我们安装了所有更新，相同的游戏（使用相同的设置）就会在随机的时间间隔内显示出令人发指的卡顿。
回滚(Roll)到Windows 8.1，所有这些问题都消失了。所以我们非常肯定Windows 10是罪魁祸首，尤其是因为我们在这两种情况下都使用了最新的驱动程序。
在《巫师 3(Witcher 3)》、《最终幻想 XV(Final Fantasy XV) 》甚至更老的《孤岛危机弹头》(Crysis Warhead)等游戏中启用游戏模式对一致性产生了立竿见影的效果，并完全消除了我们所经历的随机卡顿。请记住，您的里程会有所不同，但自己尝试一下很容易！(Just)
如何启用游戏模式
在您尝试游戏模式之前，请执行以下操作：
- 确保 Windows 是最新的
- 更新您的图形驱动程序
现在，启动您想要尝试游戏模式(Game Mode)的游戏。您需要分别为每个标题启用游戏模式。在本例中，我们以Steam版的最终幻想 XV(Final Fantasy XV)为例。
游戏启动并运行后，按 Windows 键和“G”(press the Windows key and “G”)，这将像这样调出游戏栏。
游戏栏最右侧的这个圆形按钮是游戏模式(Game Mode)开关。由于您可能没有鼠标优先权，请点击 TAB 键(tap the TAB key)，直到突出显示游戏模式按钮。(Game mode)
现在按回车(press enter )键打开游戏模式。然后再次press Win+G
现在就玩你的游戏吧！希望您的性能问题将消失或大大减少。享受！
Enable Game Mode to Smooth Out Performance in Windows 10
For gamеrs, the latest version of Windows haѕ been a mixed bag. You don’t have to searсh far on the net tо find complaints from gamers that Windows 10 game performance isn’t what it should be. This isn’t true fоr everyone, but it seems common enough to warrant some concern.
Every update to Windows seems to bring a new round of complaints. It probably started with the first major Creators update, after which many gamers found their favorite title riddled with stuttering and inconsistent frame rates.
What helps also seems unpredictable. One of the first successful fixes turned out to be quite simple – turn off Game DVR in the Xbox app. It helped some, but many saw no difference.
Game Mode to the Rescue?
All is not lost however, because there’s a special mode in Windows 10 called Game Mode. What Game Mode does is make the video game you are playing the number one priority on the computer. This means that if any background processes, such as the antivirus program or Windows Update, are causing stutter in your games, they will now be suppressed.
It sounds pretty good right? Well, temper your expectations, since Game Mode isn’t going to improve your maximum frames per second in most cases. What it can help with is consistent performance. This makes the experience of playing that much better, letting you concentrate on the game itself instead of performance distractions.
Also, if you are trying to get the most of your current rig, along with enabling Game Mode, make sure to read my post on how to play games smoothly on an old PC.
The Test Case
The computer we used to test game mode perfectly showcases how this feature can help with game performance in Windows 10. It’s a Haswell 4690K clocked to 4Ghz with 16GB of RAM and a Radeon R9 390.
It’s also equipped with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD. It’s not a cutting-edge gaming PC in 2018, but a good indicator of the general sort of computer a typical gamer might have.
This computer in particular shows a stark difference in performance between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. On Windows 8.1 games are butter-smooth. The same is true on a vanilla installation of Windows 10, but as soon as we’ve installed all the updates, the same games (using the same settings) exhibit an infuriating amount of stutter at random intervals.
Roll things back to Windows 8.1 and all these problems go away. So we’re pretty certain Windows 10 is the culprit, especially since we used the latest drivers in both cases.
Enabling game mode in titles like The Witcher 3, Final Fantasy XV and even older titles like Crysis Warhead made an immediate difference to consistency and completely eliminated the random stutter we experienced. Just keep in mind that your mileage will vary, but it’s very easy to try it for yourself!
How to Enable Game Mode
Before you try out game mode, please do the following:
- Ensure Windows is up to date
- Update your graphics drivers
Now, start up the game you want to try Game Mode on. You need to enable game mode for each title individually. In this case, we’re using the Steam version of Final Fantasy XV as an example.
Once the game is up and running, press the Windows key and “G”, this will bring up the game bar like so.
This round button on the far right of the game bar is the Game Mode switch. Since you may not have mouse priority, tap the TAB key, until the Game mode button is highlighted.
Now press enter to toggle game mode on. Then press Win+G again to close the game bar.
Now just play your game! Hopefully your performance issues will be gone or greatly reduced. Enjoy!
