14 DAY TRIAL // The rollout of Windows 11 2022 Update continues, but at the same time, Microsoft and its partners are closely monitoring the process to make sure the bugs are discovered in an early phase.
One of the latest glitches that go under the microscope concerns systems powered by Ryzen 7000 chips, as it’s being reported that some users are struggling with major performance problems while playing games.
Microsoft hasn’t officially acknowledged the problem, but as I said, the software giant isn’t alone in this rollout process of Windows 11 2022 Update. So partner AMD has recently confirmed that it’s looking into what happens to determine if any fix is required on its side.
“We have been made aware of reports of unexpected performance deltas in certain games with AMD Ryzen desktop processors as well as performance variances between Windows 11 and Windows 10 in certain game titles. We are currently investigating but based on testing to date have not observed a material difference in game performance between OS versions across a variety of operating scenarios and game titles,” AMD explains.
The company, however, explains that gaming issues could be caused by a wide variety of factors, and in some cases, the game publisher might be one who needs to take care of the whole thing.
“Many factors affect gaming performance, including the game engine, CPU architecture, GPU selection and memory choices. As new architectures enter the market, we often observe performance anomalies which must be addressed by the component vendor or the game publisher. This is not a new phenomenon nor is it unexpected,” it says. “As we have done since the introduction of Ryzen, when these performance anomalies are brought to light we will use them to steer our partner engagements with game developers and ecosystem hardware partners to implement optimizations that eliminate the variations.”
At this point, there’s obviously no ETA as to when a potential fix could go live for users out there.
