Win 10 Game mode good or bad?

When playing Elite, non VR, is game-mode a good or bad thing? I did a Google Search and it seems that some VR user's we're saying it causes micro stutters. Is this true for non VR as well?

It made no discernable difference for me, other than shutting down other things like Inara or e-mail so I've now disabled it.

I was watching system resources to check it, which convinced me closing the launcher is a good idea but I didn't notice any difference from that either.

Hungry Resource muncher, Stuttering for me, in Monitor and especially VR.

I can't seem to find ANY good reason for PC Players why an earth you should have this on.

I *think* it makes a difference, but then I run a below minimum spec PC so I imagine on a modern PC it makes no real difference.

Easy to dis what you don't understand I guess

It can improve a potato, but it gets problematic with newer comps I think.
I never really used it before as i didn't want 2 dvrs running in the background.
Testing it now.
EDIT
Weelll, I was wrong. I get 3-4 fps increase, no stuttering. No problematics.

However a good article in pcgamer does mention stuttering with highenders
