which windows is best for gaming

Everything just works with Windows 7. I reverted back to windows 7 from windows 8.1 because 8.1 has an unfixable problem that some games will drop the gamepad after a few minutes. The only way to get the gamepad working again is to restart the game. However, the performance gains from windows 8.1 drew be back. So now I simply don't use my controller in the games that give problems. In my opinion windows 8.1 is a faster, smoother experience. = better
 


That's sounds like a problem with the controller moreso than windows 8.
 


It's a microsoft xbox 360 controller. The problem occurs in Arma 3. Google it, there's no fix. However it works flawlessly in windows 7 with arma 3. Considering I only play Arma and Battlefield, it doesn't work with 50% of the games that I play. Trust me there's nothing wrong with the controller or drivers. I spent weeks trying to fix it.
 


Lol, I used the controller to fly helicopters in Arma3 as its way easier (arma 3 has xbox 360 profiles/support). I wouldn't inflict a controller on my greatest enemy for first person shooter gaming XD
Since I've gotten windows 8.1 I've learned to fly using keyboard/mouse and its actually quite easy. I still use the controller for dragon age, skyrim etc.
 
8.1 for now... But if you can, i would wait for windows 10, as it would be more stable and with the extra bells and whistles!

Forget windows 7... It is getting obsolete and sooner or later games will not be compatible...

Enjoy!
 


Do you know when 10 will be released and if it will be free for me as I bought 8.1?
 


Its said to be released in June (windows 10)

Oh, and thanks for reminding me! There will be a free upgrade for 8.1 users
 


And 7 users as well. But screw you XP users, you shoulda upgraded by now you luddites!
