I'm setting up a new Windows 11 PC mainly for playing the latest games?

This happened to me. The big one for me was DirectStorage, it made load times in newer games way faster.

+1 Yeah, and Auto HDR is a game-changer if you have a compatible monitor. Hope that helps.

This. I had the same problem deciding. For me, DirectStorage was the biggest reason—it makes load times in new games almost instant.

This happened to me too. Auto-HDR was a game-changer for me, making older games look way better without any extra setup. Good luck!

+1 Yeah, and don't forget to check if your PC has the hardware requirements for DirectStorage, as that's another big one for faster load times. Let me know if that works.
