So I've heard that games using Frostbite 3 engine such as Battlefield 4 and NFS Rivals... run better on Win8.1 than Win7. Is it true?

Generally, speaking the answer is yes.

There was a very in depth benchmarks of many different graphic cards and CPUs in multiplayer Battlefield 4 which was published around 2 month ago. It did show that overall BF4 (and presumably FrostBite 3 in general) performed a bit better in Win 8 vs Win 7. The difference was not mind boggling, but I believe on average it was 6% or 7%.

Below is a link to a review that compares BF4 in Win 7 vs Win 8, but this is not the review I was looking at back in November. Unfortunately, I cannot find that particular review.

Try it for 90 days (dual boot).....you'll change your mind :)  At least for i7 4770k I'd never go back to 7. Go on Youtube and see what hardcore BF4 gamers say.
