Having now caught my breath and with a bit of extra time, I belatedly realized my error, if you can call it that. I got Windows 11 installed and updated, downloaded the rather massive 1.5TB of games that I use for testing onto the SSD, and got to work - all with VBS enabled. When I put together the new testbed for the coming year back in November, just before the RTX 4080 and RX 7900 XTX/XT launches, I was under a time crunch. Needless to say, you don't put together best-in-class parts only to run extra features that can hurt performance.Įxcept. ![]() This defaulting to VBS on, everywhere, worried me, because I'm already in the middle of retesting all the pertinent graphics cards for the 2023 version of the GPU hierarchy, on a new testbed that includes a Core i9-13900K CPU, 32GB of DDR5-6600 G.Skill memory, and a Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus-G 4TB M.2 SSD. ![]() Whatever the case, most new PCs ship with VBS on and clean Windows 11 installs have it enabled also. However, we have since learned that Windows updates do not enable VBS, so it must have been something else I installed or enabled. Correction (3/22/23): An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that a Windows update had enabled VBS on my PC. ![]()
