TOMS: Not really, of the ten games they sampled, only one showed a significant difference in frame rate, and that was actually a reduction from 86.6 to 81 FPS. Once they upgraded to 8.1, the choppiness disappeared and moving was much smoother in both the test and multiplayer map. This choppiness was more pronounced on the NVIDIA card than the AMD. While playing on Windows 7 HardOCP experienced ‘choppiness’ as they played in both the multiplayer and ‘test range’ maps. Essentially, the game will look the same on your computer, no matter what OS you use. HARDOCP: Negligible, the advantages were so small (3-6%) that they were unable to raise the resolution of the game, or the anti-aliasing. TOMS: All of their graphs were within the margin of error of one another, implying that in terms of performance there’s a negligible difference to the discerning gamer. When it comes to performance, it would appear that NVIDIA is getting the most out of the 8.1 update. This advantage extended not only to the GPU’s, but also to the game performance during play.

HARDOCP: Windows 8.1 has a consistent performance advantage over Windows 7. Both sites set benchmarks with AMD and NVIDIA hardware. Toms Hardware used a whole collection of games including: Battlefield 3, Borderlands 2, Crisis 2 and Dirt: Showdown.

HardOCP used Battlefield 4 as their testing grounds. HardOCP and Toms Hardware both ran comprehensive tests on the new platform. There is another contingent, with their own set of results that argues there is a negligible difference between the two platforms. Battlefield 4, a popular benchmark for gamers, has been recording a 10-15% improvement in performance. Initial reports seem to be positive, with many gamers reporting that they’re seeing improved FPS (frames per second) even at maximum settings. So, now that the idea of a Windows 8 PC isn’t one that makes you feel queasy, the big question is: can it run games?

The start button is back! This may be all that people seem to care about, in the latest update to Microsoft’s controversial new Windows, but there are actually some decent improvements in this substantial update.
