Edit: The video of that's the original source of the test results had flawed testing for some of the games and seemingly didn't set the same tdp limits when switching between the OSs. I'm guessing we'll see other people test this out later, but for the time being it's best to assume these results are exaggerated or wrong.

The irony of it considering Microsoft's tweaks to make it a "gaming mode" windows (which results in miniscule FPS gains).

I guess in that case it's not irony but rather a shoddy job on Microsoft's part as per.

I mean, its ironic that one of the developers of the graphics pipeline that most consoles use (DirectX) and one of three major consoles cant make their own OS perform better than Valve and a bunch of developers working in a cave on Linux, lol

I get that. Maybe the irony is lost on me because I have yet to see Microsoft make an effort towards something that an end user would care about. Windows playing Windows games worse than another operating system is entirely expectable.
