To get around that, I purchased Win10 Pro Full Retail, and installed it as dual boot on my "gaming" machine. Of course I turned off all the privacy stuff (I don't need those features enabled), but other than that, it is a box stock install of Win10. Once installed, I downloaded the entirety of Far Cry 4 into the Win10 partition.
I have GTX 580 and have decided to trade frame rate for visual quality, V-syncing at 30Hz
On Win7, the game looks good, is essentially fluid, and with V-sync off I get 48FPS on a test scene...
On Win10, the game actually looks a bit better, but more importantly, it is perfectly fluid at 30Hz V-sync, and the same test scene gives 57FPS with V-sync off. The drivers are the same version.
So, the game runs fine on 10, noticeably improved. I can't wait for the next installment of Far Cry on DirectX 12. Actually, I owe it to myself to find other FPS games, the trouble is, good FPS' are far and few between and far too many otherwise good games are 3rd person perspective, which I loathe.
I'm at 35+% complete on the Win10 install, with not one single issue of any kind, so I think it's solid.
