Why serious PC gamers need to upgrade to Windows 10

Windows 10 Major Update

A recent video posted by Youtuber R Tech shows the massive graphical gains you can expect from upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

The results show an increase of up to 7% when testing Nvidia cards and up to 20% in AMD cards when making the jump from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

This applies to both DirectX 9 and DirectX 11 titles and does not include more advanced APIs like the upcoming DirectX12, which is only compatible on Windows 10.

You can check out the full video and results for yourself below:
