Not exactly by 200%, but a 15 - 20 FPS boost across the board with more tolerable frame pacing is nothing to scoff at. Am I alone on this, or have other early-adopters had similar experiences? I didn't even do a clean install, just upgraded the OS while keeping my file structure the same. Even so, my games are installed on an external HDD, not the main SSD. Even load times got better.
Maybe it's because my CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600X with 32gb of DDR4-3600, but my ancient GTX 1080ti can enjoyably play things in native 4K at higher settings that I just couldn't tolerate before, like RDR2. Flight Simulator 2020 is still a bit too much for this GPU at 4K though.
I don't know what the cause of my performance boost is. Hardware bottlenecks aren't like they were when I went to college for IT. For someone who, up 'til now, was used to the gen 3 - 7 intel Core lineup, this is like wizardry to me.
Can anyone more up-to-date with modern technology explain what's going on under the hood?
Edit: Previous OS was Windows 10 Pro, in case anyone's confused.
