Game mode in Windows 10's Spring update looks to make your games run faster

PC gamers are always finding ways to eek out as much performance as possible when gaming. Microsoft looks like they're going to help out a bit by introducing a new feature in their Spring update with Game Mode.

Game Mode will let compatibles games have higher prioritization with both the GPU and CPU when running. This should lead to higher frames per second and better average frames per second. Right now, those in the fast ring update for the Microsoft OS can try it out now and turn it on when playing. In the future, Microsoft is looking at automatically turning on Game Mode when you launch a compatible game.

All told, this looks like a nice update and I hope we see some real world benefits when Game Mode is made available to everyone.
