Latency - X2, X3, Platinum

Over the last several years I have monitored latency under the various Sonar and Windows platforms.
I just recently updated to Windows Anniversary Edition and the Latest NVidia Drivers and ran it again.
Overall, I think this is a bit faster than Windows 10 (1511 10596.494).
I did not install most of the NVIDIA stuff, just the basic driver. For example, no 3D, no network, no Experience.
The NVIDIA drivers seem to be suffering from bloat, so I would stick with the earlier drivers if they work for you.
Here are comparisons for X2 under Windows 8.1, X3 under 8.1 and Platinum under Windows 10 (1607 14393.10).
It is the same CPU, motherboard and audio hardware. The video card was recently changed in Windows 10.
I have earlier Windows 7 latency reports, but they are worse than the more recent Windows platforms.
 
X2 (Win 8.1):

 
X3 (Win 8.1):

 
Platinum (Windows 10 Anniversary):

    I mentioned NVIDIA bloat, so I tried an older Win10 driver version (355.60) and this newer one is superior in terms of latency.
