Windows 10游戏模式(Game Mode)旨在提高游戏时的性能，即使对于低端计算机也是如此。它可以帮助稳定需要更多系统资源的游戏中的帧速率(frame rate)，即使您的计算机无法正常处理它。
如果您在较旧的计算机上运行较新的游戏并希望看到改进的性能，请让Windows 10 游戏模式(Game Mode)为您完成工作。本指南将介绍它的工作原理、如何启用它以及如何从该工具中获得最大收益。
Windows 10 游戏模式如何工作？(How Does Windows 10 Game Mode Work?)
如果您曾经尝试在低于标准的硬件上运行游戏，您就会知道丢帧和突然减速的痛苦。丢帧(Frame)可能意味着输掉一场比赛，尤其是当你面对一个依赖于突然反应的老板时——或者如果你在多人游戏中(multiplayer match)无法跟上屏幕上的对手。
Windows 10游戏模式(Game Mode)通过让您正在玩的游戏优先访问(playing priority access)所有系统资源（尤其是来自处理器和显卡(processor and graphics card)的资源）来防止这种情况发生。
它还有一个更不为人知的次要功能：它会暂停通知、Windows更新和驱动程序更新。您不会收到系统通知，您的游戏也不会中断，因为您的计算机突然决定是时候进行更新了。
Windows 10 游戏模式是否有明显改进？(Does Windows 10 Game Mode Yield Noticeable Improvements?)
在现代，有人玩游戏而没有在后台打开网络浏览器是很奇怪的。(web browser)从向朋友发送快速消息以加入我们的游戏，到查找如何通过游戏中特别困难的部分，我们使用互联网进行各种操作。(Internet)当然，缺点是网络浏览器（尤其是Chrome）可以支配系统资源。Windows 10游戏模式(Game Mode)消除了这个障碍。
也就是说，如果您的计算机足够强大，您可能根本不会注意到任何改进。游戏模式(Game Mode)对哪些系统规格最有利没有硬性限制，但一个好的经验法则是，如果您的计算机使用超过三四年的硬件，您可能会看到一些改进。
要记住的另一件事是，并非所有游戏都与游戏模式(Game Mode)兼容。微软没有(Microsoft doesn)提供哪些游戏兼容的列表，但那些游戏模式(Game Mode)往往会自动识别。这意味着当您启动游戏时，默认启用 游戏模式。(Game Mode)
如果不是，您可以轻松打开游戏模式(Game Mode)。
如何启用游戏模式(How to Enable Game Mode)
好消息是 Windows 10游戏模式(Game Mode)很容易开启。
- 打开设置(Settings)。
- 选择游戏(Gaming)。
- 从左侧栏中选择游戏模式。(Game Mode)
除非您过去更改了设置，否则切换开关应该已经处于打开(On)位置。如果发生故障或您不小心将其禁用，只需单击几下即可轻松将其重新打开。
启用后，游戏模式(Game Mode)将在您启动认可的游戏后立即启动。如果您从未在您的机器上玩过游戏，那么游戏模式(Game Mode)不会产生任何好处——但如果您是游戏的常客，启用它后您可能会获得更多的性能。
你不能只为个别游戏打开它——只能作为系统范围的打开或关闭切换。如果微软(Microsoft)未来发布更新，允许你通过键盘快捷键单独启用(keyboard shortcut)游戏模式(Game Mode)，它在游戏中可能会有更多用途。
Windows 10 游戏模式是否会导致问题？(Does Windows 10 Game Mode Cause Problems?)
虽然游戏模式(Game Mode)是一项非常有益的功能，可以并且确实可以提高性能，但一些用户报告了仅在启用 游戏模式时才会发生的错误。(Game Mode)
一些微软(Microsoft)更新暂时导致游戏模式(Game Mode)产生相反的效果并导致帧速率降低，但很快就修复了。但是，有传闻称游戏模式(Game Mode)会导致系统整体变慢。如果发生这种情况，很可能是因为在为您正在玩的游戏分配更多资源时，游戏模式(Game Mode)会降低可能导致系统范围影响的重要后台进程的优先级。
最有可能的是，当您玩自己喜欢的游戏时，游戏模式(Game Mode)不会导致性能(cause performance)问题，甚至可以帮助您从中挤出更多帧。如果您发现自己的表现不是(performance isn)应有的表现，您可以禁用游戏模式(Game Mode)并将其作为变量消除，以查明它是否是问题的根源。
如果您正在使用执行与Game Mode类似功能的程序，例如NVIDIA 的 GPU (NVIDIA’s GPU) Boost，则Game Mode可能会与之发生冲突。通过减少后台进程，游戏模式(Game Mode)可能会影响GPU Boost或类似程序的运行方式。
Windows 11 有游戏模式吗？(Does Windows 11 have Game Mode?)
Windows 11也有游戏模式(Game Mode)，它位于与Windows 10版本相同的位置的设置中。(Settings)它也以同样的方式发挥作用，通过减少后台进程并将资源集中在游戏上。
虽然Windows 10 游戏模式(Game Mode)不适用于所有游戏或每位玩家，但保持启用它并没有什么坏处。(t hurt)您可能会看到比其他情况更多的帧。不过，它不是奇迹创造者(miracle worker)。如果您尝试在与烤箱具有相同规格的 PC 上运行高性能游戏，您不会突然从每秒 3 帧到 30 帧。
Windows 10 Game Mode: Is It Good or Bad?
Windows 10 Game Mode is designеd to improve perfоrmance when gaming, even for lower-end cоmputerѕ. It can help stabilize the frame rate in games that demand more system rеsources, even if your computer can’t normally handle it.
If you’re running a newer game on an older computer and want to see improved performance, let Windows 10 Game Mode do the work for you. This guide will cover how it works, how to enable it, and how to get the most benefit out of the tool.
How Does Windows 10 Game Mode Work?
If you’ve ever tried to run a game on sub-par hardware, you know the pain of dropped frames and sudden slowdown. Frame drops can mean the loss of a game, especially if you’re up against a boss that relies on sudden reactions — or if you’re in a multiplayer match and you can’t keep up with your opponent on-screen.
Windows 10 Game Mode works to prevent this from happening by giving the game you’re playing priority access to all system resources, but specifically those from the processor and graphics card.
It also has a secondary feature that goes a bit more under the radar: it halts notifications, Windows updates, and driver updates. You won’t receive system notifications and your gameplay won’t be interrupted because your computer decides it’s time for an update out of the blue.
Does Windows 10 Game Mode Yield Noticeable Improvements?
In the modern era, it’s odd that someone plays a game without a web browser pulled up in the background. We use the Internet for everything from sending a quick message to a friend to join our game to looking up how to get past a particularly difficult section of gameplay. The downside, of course, is that web browsers (especially Chrome) can dominate system resources. Windows 10 Game Mode removes this obstacle.
That said, if your computer is powerful enough, you might not notice any improvement at all. There is no hard and fast limit on what system specs most benefit from Game Mode, but a good rule of thumb is that if your computer uses hardware that’s more than three or four years old, you will probably see some improvement.
One more thing to bear in mind is that not all games are compatible with Game Mode. Microsoft doesn’t provide a list of which games are compatible, but those that are tend to be automatically recognized by Game Mode. What this means is that when you launch a game, Game Mode is enabled by default.
If it isn’t, you can turn Game Mode on with ease.
How to Enable Game Mode
The good news is that Windows 10 Game Mode is easy to turn on.
- Open Settings.
- Select Gaming.
- Select Game Mode from the left-side bar.
Unless you’ve changed the setting in the past, the toggle should already be in the On position. If a glitch has occurred or you’ve accidentally disabled it, you can easily turn it back on with just a few clicks.
Once enabled, Game Mode will kick in as soon as you launch a recognized game. If you never play games on your machine, Game Mode won’t yield any benefit — but if you’re a frequent gamer, you might get just that much more performance with it enabled.
You can’t turn it on just for individual games — only as a system-wide on or off toggle. If Microsoft releases an update in the future that allows you to individually enable Game Mode through a keyboard shortcut, it may have more use in games.
Does Windows 10 Game Mode Cause Problems?
While Game Mode is a mostly-beneficial feature that can and does improve performance, some users have reported errors that only occurred with Game Mode enabled.
Some Microsoft updates have temporarily caused Game Mode to have the opposite effect and resulted in lower frame rates, but those were repaired quickly. However, there are anecdotal reports that Game Mode causes the system to slow down overall. If this happens, it’s likely because in allocating more resources to the game you’re playing, Game Mode de-prioritizes important background processes that may result in system-wide effects.
Most likely, Game Mode won’t cause performance issues when you’re playing your favorite game, and may even help you squeeze a few more frames out of it. If you find that your performance isn’t what it should be, you can disable Game Mode and eliminate it as a variable to find out if it’s the source of the problem.
If you’re using a program that performs a similar function to Game Mode, like NVIDIA’s GPU Boost, Game Mode might clash with it. By reducing background processes, Game Mode may affect how GPU Boost or a similar program operates.
Does Windows 11 have Game Mode?
Windows 11 also has Game Mode, and it’s found in Settings in the same location as the Windows 10 version. It also functions in the same way, by reducing background processes and focusing the resources on the game.
While Windows 10 Game Mode won’t work for every game or every player, it doesn’t hurt to keep it enabled. You might see a few more frames than you would otherwise. Still, it isn’t a miracle worker. If you’re trying to run a high-powered game on a PC with the same specs as a toaster oven, you won’t suddenly go from 3 frames per second to 30.
