Windows 7 update improves graphics performance

There is an optional update:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2028560
that claims to improve graphics performance.
Here is the download link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
I have had no chance to benchmark it so far.

Thanks for the link(s).

"An update is available for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 which
provides new functionality and performance improvements for the graphics
platform". Now all I have to do is find out what the new functionality is -
unless I'm missing something, MS don't actually say what this is! It'll be
interesting to see what the performance improvement is, too.

These updates are supposed to be for Win7 Dx 11 - as opposed to Win7
graphics

Hi Carlos
Thanks for posting, I loaded the update for direct x 11 in win 7
I wonder if it will have any affect on WEI scores for graphics preformance?

For me the graphics score in WEI went up from 6.8 to 6.9 after installing the
update.
