Microsoft has just released a new Windows update aimed at boosting gaming performance on the latest AMD CPUs, as well as Intel CPUs to a lesser extent, without having to update to a whole new preview build of Windows. The move comes after evidence emerged that AMD CPU frame rates were being held back by Windows 11’s thread director, with a fix coming in the forthcoming Windows 11 24H2 update. However, you can now apply this AMD Windows update to your existing Windows 11 23H2 installation.
While none of AMD‘s new Ryzen 9000 CPUs were expected to challenge the Ryzen 7 7800X3D for the best gaming CPU title, some tests of the new CPUs showed gaming performance that was worse than expected, and it turned out that updating to the preview build of Windows 24H2 resulted in huge performance gains on the chips.
