Q & A

What is the main topic of the video?

The main topic of the video is a comparison between Windows 10 and Windows 11, specifically focusing on performance differences when gaming and the impact of using an admin account.

What channel does the speaker recommend for hardware testing?

The speaker recommends the channel 'Hardware Unbox' for their great tests and testing methodology.

What are the key differences the speaker highlights between Windows 10 and Windows 11 for gaming?

The speaker mentions that Windows 10 has slightly better CPU results for gaming, and that Windows 11 might see better results when using an admin account.

What hardware specifications does the speaker provide for his testing setup?

The speaker uses a 490 GPU with a basic overclock, a 7800XRD CPU (which is a 7950X with CCD1 disabled), and dual rank 6000 C30 G.Skill Trident Z Royal RAM.

What optimization techniques does the speaker use for his Windows systems?

The speaker uses an optimization pack and a security script, which includes disabling Windows Defender but not removing it, and disabling User Account Control (UAC).

Why does the speaker believe there might be performance differences between Windows 10 and Windows 11?

The speaker suggests that the differences might be due to the overhead of the OS and possibly the behavior of Windows Defender on Windows 11.

What does the speaker mean by 'Benchmark variation'?

'Benchmark variation' refers to the natural fluctuations in benchmark results that can occur due to various factors, including game engine bugs or the testing environment.

Why does the speaker think disabling Windows Defender might improve performance on Windows 11?

The speaker believes that Windows 11 can be more 'toxic' on the CPU due to Defender, and disabling it might reduce this CPU overhead.

What is the speaker's opinion on the necessity of using an admin account for better performance?

The speaker thinks that using an admin account might show better performance due to less interference from Defender or because UAC is disabled, allowing games to run with administrator privileges.

What future content does the speaker plan to create after this video?

The speaker plans to create content debunking custom Windows ISOs by comparing their performance to a vanilla Windows install with proper optimizations.

What are some of the speaker's personal preferences and experiences with Windows 11?

The speaker has had a negative experience with Windows 11, citing bugs and performance issues, and plans to switch back to Windows 10.
