In the last major update of Windows 10, support for a new version of the graphics driver architecture - WDDM 2.7. And one of the novelties will certainly be appreciated by users who have graphics cards with a small amount of graphics memory. This is "hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" and allows the graphics card to independently manage its graphics memory, which should reduce latency and increase final performance and therefore FPS or rendering speed.
At the moment, this function can be activated only on Nvidia graphics cards, in addition, only solutions on the Pascal (GTX 1000) and Turing (RTX 2000) architectures are supported, and any: the scheduler is also available on the MX150 ultrabook. Of course, the computer must also be running Windows 10 May Update and the latest custom NVIDIA GeForce 451.48 WHQL driver.
If your computer meets these requirements, go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings and enable the first switch:
Then restart your computer and you can start testing. So, on a GTX 1080 Ti with 11 GB of video memory, the difference in performance is minimal, but it is accurately recorded - 81-82 FPS in the latest Assassin's Creed with the scheduler enabled and 78-79 FPS with disability:
Of course, these 3-5% are difficult to notice, but for example, with a GTX 1650 Super with only 4 GB of video memory, the difference is already noticeable, 8-9% in Forza Horizon 4:
And most likely, in the future, with driver optimization, the performance increase will only increase.
