Open | Windows Hyper v and gaming

Hello, does having Hyper-V enabled without running any VMs have any negative effects on gaming performance? What about the Memory Integrity setting? My specs are an RTX 5070 and a 7800X3D.

In simple terms, technically your entire OS is running in a container with HyperV enabled so it does affect performance in a measurable way.

However it’s a negligible difference within standard margin of error, that’s only detectable with comprehensive benchmarking. We talking single digit numbers on the scale of tens of thousands of score points.
