This BIOS Setting is Ruining Your PC – SVM Virtualization On vs Off
Okay, so you want more FPS in your games and the latest and greatest CPUs just aren’t cutting it while I got great news for you because a new setting in Windows 11 appears to be absolutely destroying performance and that setting is virtualization. Now as a disclaimer, I don’t necessarily recommend disabling it officially as it can put you at greater risk security wise, but doing so did net me some massive performance gains. Now one way of disabling it is to turn off core isolation in Windows, but for maximum effect I found its best to disable SVM on AMD systems in the BIOS or virtualization on Intel systems in their BIOS. And from what I’m hearing, AMD might actually benefit more than Intel. I can’t necessarily confirm that, but even on an Intel 14700K system I’ll be testing today, I found some pretty significant differences, which by the way, here are the rest of the system specs, but in any case, let me show you just how drastic it can be across nine different games.

How do I do this with Aorus BIOS?
SVM was defaulted to Disabled on Aorus BIOS
Disable Virtualization !!!! Says no one that understands the subject.
If this were actually a boon to FPS, why not show the 1080p uplift numbers instead? Who games at 720p?
My gaming pc is only for gaming. Rip it off!😅
this old thing still coming back? i thought this was supposed to be new… im keeping virtualisation on thanks. i dont want a virus able to install so deep in windows kernel it cant be removed or gets access to the bios.
what about SR-IOV / IOMMU ?
Tech-tubers should include benchmarks for these settings on upcoming cpu's from now on (along with the usual benchmarks).
It might be interesting to see what AMD and Intel can do to lower the performance-impact on future generations.
makes no sense testing games in 720p when 1080p is mainstream. and i bet theres almost no performance difference in higher resolutions, so it is not worth the bother to mess with bios.
I leave the virtualization/core isolation ON for the peace of mind. I do min-max my rig but there are things I leave it as is cuz I don't wanna think about it 😅😅
As a rule, CPU bound games are seeing gains with this setting turned off. So, if you're not seeing any changes in Black Myth it's because that one heavily GPU bound even with a 4090.
720p in 2024???????
Imagine describing a 1% low of 121 FPS as "choppy".
NO, If you use virtualbox, bluestack and any other emulators that require VT you will cripple your performance, its a NON issue on WIndows 10, the real issue its WIndows 11 running like crap full bugs, and now with even more AI spywares recall enable even when you dont have a NPU.
Cool… let's play games at 720p. No one does that. Try 1080 max settings and it will be zero difference.
Me playing on emulators 💀
thank bro 👍👍 great vid
I will wait for new cards to get the safer performance bump lol
On Linux what the ilmpact ?
You know that by deliberately testing at 720P you would produce results that nobody who plays games will every see. Again, no games are "going to feel a whole lot less choppy on a 4070 super as nobody bought that graphic card to play at 720p. The last mistake you made is saying "You will likely see a more substantial improvement than buying and entire new platform" but you deliberately never showed us the variance in FPS at 1080P, 1440P & 4K that people actually play games at, so what is the variance at these resolutions? Its not like it would have been a lot more effort to change that resolution and run the benchmark again. Sorry but you lose my respect for being deliberately deceptive for clicks.
turned that off years ago, no problems, probably watched a similar video about it
Virtualisation doesn't have any bounds with core isolation. It's a 2 different features with different specialization.
Core isolation DOES have performance issues.
Virtualisation DOES NOT have SIGNIFICANT performance issues like you're talking about. 1-2% loss? Maybe, but not more than this. Don't be a liar pls.
wtf is with the censored images dude? are you serious?
Why would you disable SVM/VT-x entirely instead of just core isolation… or even test with those off vs. no core isolation…… now nothing can use virtualization. This channel is going to give me a conniption as a sysadmin lol
I turned this setting off and I gained 3000 fps in minesweeper
I have only SVM ENABLE like option, is it the same or I need SVM mode? I have r7 7800x3D
Didnt see no difference in my rysen 7 7700 with 4070 at 4k
I just checked my system and it was already off.
Oh well lol.
Win11 is ruining your FPS, I'm still on Win10
Can't run virtual machines then. I have a couple games I need to play on a VM. Gonna test this though, because fck windows, even if it is a VM.
If youre already seeing 1080 60Hz with vsync enabled, it doesnt add much value. It might be useful if you're only using it for gaming and its older hardware with the newest titles.
thanks for this turned mine off and all Stutters went fully away in Black Myth Wukong on High with a RX 7600 (8GB) and a 3700X with 32gb's CL18 3600MT/s Ram so glad to have it off
edit: didn't matter what settings I used high, medium, low etc all had massive stutters especially for specific cutscenes wish I could have got these results for my first playthrough but on second now and enjoying it after the change.
