I had it with my GTX 960 and Windows 10, don't remember it on Windows 7.

I was running Windows 10 insider previews on that machine, latest version messed up my network drivers. Re-imaged machine (also forgot to use WET tool to transfer data back before I upgraded), so it was good excuse to re-import data from my backup.

Windows 10 on my laptop running older Mobile Nvidia GTX 350m (no issues).

I think it may be direct x issue.

Try running the game from a shortcut with -dx9 appended to the end.

For instance for Bioshock: "C:\Program Files\2K Games\BioShock \Builds\Release\Bioshock.exe" -dx9

Note there is a space before -dx9 or -d3d9 (alternative)

For some users, you may need to try Set launch options with either -dx9 or -d3d9 in Steam (under properties section for game in Steam) note: right click game in Steam, just add -dx9 or -d3d9 try one at a time.

-force-d3d9

**found on Steam page(below):

-dxlevel <level> - Forces a specific DirectX version when launching the game. This is useful if your graphics hardware is older, and gets significantly better performance in an earlier version of DirectX. Below are the most common modes used:

-dxlevel 80
-dxlevel 81
-dxlevel 90
-dxlevel 95
-dxlevel 98






You may also want to re-install Direct X 9.0c to make sure your new Windows 10 has it (some users say after installing as an administrator has fixed their issues)
