windows 8 or 7 for gaming?

[Safia-]

is windows 8,8.1 or 7 better for gaming ? i think 7.. right?

 

[glamdringfh]

Windows 8/ 8.1 is recognized to be a better base OS for gaming at this point.

In reality the difference is never more than 1-2 FPS higher or lower than 7, so as far as a perceivable difference goes, there isn't any.

That being said, Win8.1 boots and shuts down quicker than 7:

Windows 8 boots faster because Microsoft wrote it so the OS and motherboard never really shut off. Windows 7 writes itself to the drive then shuts off. With windows 8 it writes itself like it sleeping on power down so it never realy reloads itself at cold boot.

I would suggest Windows 10 for the DX12 futureproofing.

There is not enough difference to make gaming performance the major os selection criteria.
