Bootcamp performance issues

Hello,

I am having problems with the Bootcamp partition. When I run games and other tasks that require performance, it runs slower than when it is plugged in. This does not happen on the Mac operating system. I am not sure if it is just the program, or just a Windows 10 issue.

I already tried setting the performance value to high performance, it doesn't help. I am using an Intel Core i7-7567U, with 16GB ram.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, 4 TBT3), macOS High Sierra (10.13.4), Windows 10 is also installed

This is a standard Windows driver from Microsoft/Intel - Intel Corporation - Display - 2/28/2018 12:00:00 AM - 23.20.16.4973 - not the one provided by Apple. As a check, run BCA, and download the Apple package using Action -> Download and open Bootcamp.xml, and check for the Intel driver version in that list and post the version number.

Your 13-in has an Intel GPU, unlike the 15-in models which can have dual GPUs. The AMD GPU in the newer Macs si fairly competent, but is still a mobile GPU, unlike a Desktop in iMac or iMac Pro. DPC does not show much variance, but has it in the 'yellow' zone during the test. If your performance is different on Battery vs. Power Adapter, check Power Options -> Advanced Settings and look at Processor Maximum and Minimum states.
