The game frame rate can be increased by up to 37.7%. Use RTX 4090 graphics card to measure Win11 to enable / disable VBS comparison.
CTOnews.com, March 15, UL benchmarks reported in October 2021 that Virtualization-based Security (VBS) "virtualization-based security" feature is enabled by default on Win11 systems, which will lead to a decline in game and run performance by up to 30%.
While Microsoft has been changing versions of its Win11 system over the past few years, consumer complaints and disputes about VBS have never stopped. Foreign technology media Tomshardware said in the latest report that even for top graphics cards such as RTX 4090, the frame rate of the game will drop by 10% after turning on VBS.
The test platform attached to CTOnews.com is as follows:
Processor: Intel Core i9-13900K
Memory: 32GB DDR5-6600 G.Skill
Storage: Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus-G 4TB M.2 SSD
Test video card: RTX 4090
Power supply: be quiet! 1500W Dark Power Pro 12
Radiator: extremely cold supreme PL360 Flux
System: 64-bit Win11 system
According to the test results, after disabling VBS, the overall performance can be improved by 5%. The performance of turning on VBS in 4K Ultra game state only loses 2%. CTOnews.com queried the form and found that in the test game "Total War: warhammer 3K" 1080p Ultra, the frame rate of RTX 4090 games without VBS was 113.4, while the frame rate of downstream games with VBS on was 82.3, an increase of 37.7% over the same period last year.
