Are custom Windows operating systems actually better for gaming, or is stock Windows still the best choice? In this video, we put 17 custom Windows OS to the test against stock Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows 11 LTSC to see if they provide an FPS boost, lower latency, and better gaming performance.
We benchmarked 20 operating systems across 8 popular games, including Fortnite, Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, Marvel Rivals, GTA 5, Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft, and Cyberpunk 2077. Will these stripped-down, optimized Windows versions deliver higher FPS and smoother gameplay, or do they come with hidden drawbacks?

Thanks for watching! ❤
Our own custom OS (FSOS) is now available for download in our Discord!
Note on xOS: The version tested was 23H2, but we had the wrong (24H2) link on our Discord – it's updated now!
Some notes on IrisOS: Chipset drivers couldn't be installed on a Server version of Windows, so we had to run it like this with absolutely nothing. If you manage to find a way around that – please let me know!
Update on SapphireOS: The creator told me there's a new version available on their Discord that just got released today – go check it out! We tested v0.2, and v0.3 is now available.
When is the next version coming??
why unable to accept the invite when clicking the discord link?
Where do I even find xOS?
Broooo all these custom os. I only knew 4 of them. Never heard the other.
Where is blitz os from? Does it have more Versions
Wait, isnt win 10 performing better than 11
Is Windows X Lite 11 23H2 still the best for Fortnite if so let me know or is the new windows x lite 11 24h2 better??
is kirbyos safe to use?
Absolutely W Video, for me, I'll install KernelOS, I'm on their server like an year, I tested is OS on an potato laptop, and it's really good. (In that potato now I have Windows X Lite due of the most lowest storage capacity, like 32gb of storage).
Windows x lite is very good I been used it but now I use kernel or XOS but maybe some days I will download x lite
i test some of them for years and KernelOS was the best among them
Any chance that we can get older versions of FSOS?
Which Windows X lite OS version is included here ?
Does it receives windows 11 updates ?
What did we do to deserve this much of effort for such a detailed performance comparison? Thank you so much!
Never heard of any of these. I play only games up to around 2020, will Win11 give any benefit at all?
Thanks for this video All this OS have the basically function like clock, calculator, paint, screenshot (w+shift+s)? And what you guys recomended for multimedia creation as adobe suite and davinci resolve.
Im getting a pc in a few days and the specs are a r5 3600 and a gtx 1660s so what os should i use for it? On my current laptop im using atlas os
Watching this video using Ghost Spectre 11, Thank you for this benchmark.
Ghost Spectre has been my go-to for myself and all my clients for 5 years running now. Awesome custom OS!
why I should do any of those instead of running an autotuned xml windows 10 install?
so someone can have their trojans, spyware and rats running at kernal level all the time? 😂

AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 3.6GHz 19MB Cache AM4 Socket
