![]() ![]() ![]() For instance, Cyberpunk 2077 running at 4K Ultra with ray tracing enabled went from 40.4 fps to 42.7 fps. In practice, most games saw increases in performance of a handful of frames per second (fps). No need to panic Arif Bacchus / Digital Trends The increase in Total War: Warhammer 3’s one-percentile score was much higher, but Tom’s Hardware noted that this game’s performance is “all over the place right now” so not much stock was put in that outcome. While some games also saw roughly 15% increases to one-percentile results, most did not. In all other games, average frame rate increases were in the single-digit range - around 5-6% on average. However, it’s important to note that Microsoft Flight Simulator was an outlier in the results. In other words, it’s a pretty handy security feature. Microsoft explains that VBS “uses hardware virtualization features to create and isolate a secure region of memory from the normal operating system.” This helps protect against vulnerabilities and exploits that could weaken your PC’s defenses. That could translate into a noticeable increase in performance. In fact, when measuring the lowest 1% of frame rate results, the game benefitted by as much as 15% from having VBS switched off. In Microsoft Flight Simulator, for example, disabling VBS improved average frame rates by up to 10% when using an Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics card. In some games, the results could be cause for concern. In a suite of fresh benchmarks, Tom’s Hardware tested 15 different games, from Cyberpunk 2077 to Red Dead Redemption 2, both with VBS enabled and with the feature turned off. ![]() According to testing done by Tom’s Hardware, VBS could cause gaming performance to drop by as much as 10%. If you’ve been wondering why your beefy graphics card hasn’t been performing as well as it should in Windows 11 or Windows 10, the answer could be Microsoft’s Virtualization Based Security (VBS). ![]()
