Windows 8 and Gaming

[Lord LaLa]

Well im getting my new computer next month and i've been told it will play vertualy any game on the highest spec's, but now im worrying about Windows 8. I've been told and read that it screws over gaming, and im wondering what other peoples experiences with it are, and wether i should downgrade it to Windows 7.

I have windows 8 and I don't notice anything wrong with it. Once you get use to 8 you'll prefer it over 7. You just need to get used to it

 

I've seen some windows 8 vs 7 videos and you'll actually get higher fps in games using windows 8. Only bad thing i've heard is that it lacks support for some drivers.

Only legacy drivers for old cards. It has the entire driver set of Windows 7 plus new drivers. If Windows 7 ran it, Windows 8 will run it too.

Only lacks support for the time being. I'm sure they will work on that.
