Windows 10 Or 7 For better Gaming perfomance ?

[ByronTheGamer2]

should i install windows 10 for better gaming and to get direct x12
one more thing, if a game doesnt support direct x 12 will that cause lag ?
and does windows 10 take less resources than windows 7 ?

If a game doesn't support directx 12 features it will work the same as dx11 same as you can play dx10 games or even dx9 games on a dx11 machine.

and if the game support direct x12 and my GPU is the same will i get better FPS better than DX11 ?

if it is a DX12 game it will not run on DX11 so basically win 10 DX12 games will not be able to run on win7 windows 10 is the way to go I think no spending hours searching for drivers it keeps you up to date

Well for the moment I stick with windows 7, as there are very few games out that use direct x 12 features.
Also if you only have a card that is capable of direct x 11 hardware implementation stick with windows 7 if you are currently using it.

Playing a game with direct x 11 on windows 7 vs windows 10 only gives you about an extra 2 fps if your lucky.
No doubt it will change when a lot of games start using the direct x 12 Api.

But then there is also Mantel, and Vulcan to consider as well, that may help with better or higher frame rates in games also.
Not just the fact you are running a graphics card on windows 10 Byron.

It`s too early to tell, to be honest the new Doom game a few weeks ago, ID released a Vulcan patch for the Vulcan Api.
To run the game, I would ask some one if that made a difference, or they got a frame rate increase, and what Os they were running it under windows 7 or windows 10.

Right now as much as direct x 12 and only windows 10 having support for it.
Where as Vulcan is supported in windows 7 and 8 as well as then it`s a good question to ask Byron.

Personally I don`t like windows 10, due to Microsoft not allowing the user to make his own choices on updates, and how much data windows 10 collects.

Well I myself will be sticking to Windows 7 for as long as possible, my mates have had Windows 8, 8.1 and now Windows 10 and they have come across so many issues when they try to get online so we can all play together.

You can see my build by putting your mouse over my picture.

I'm the only one who has never had problems as I was the only one still on Windows 7.

I know my way around the Windows 7 OS and how to fix problems on it while the others I don't. Windows 7 just works without issues (yes I know it had issues on release but it fine now completely).

I say get windows 10, may not improve the games but I think it improves the whole experience of gaming

Windows 8.1 so far is the best for everything. Windows 10 is brain cancer.
