Hello,

After I installed Win 8.1 Pro 64bit after my Windows 7 Pro my benchmark scores fell.

Is there any known specific reason for this, or is it normal?

Below are my benchmark scores:

Before you ask yes I did a driver roll back on Windows 8.1 to the one you will see in Wİndows 7 and benchmark nothing changed.
Also the SSD is reported differently (although reported correctly as same model) in both cases but nothing regarding them changed on the motherboard or anywhere else.

Thank you!

Pretty sure Win 8 in itself takes up more gpu performance to run because of all their new fancy menus...

I've seen a comparison between Win7 & win8 where the Win7 used >100MB of vram at default and the Win8 used almost 300MB. Might not be 100% correct.

If you didn't use as new a Nvidia Driver as on the Win7 test, then that's where the difference is. Since newer drivers tend to be more optimized and run faster.

im right with you on all the graphics tests but you blow past me in the physics test.

overclock that zotac, you have so much more headroom.

What do you mean by this? I tried to roll back to the same drivers as in windows 7, still got lower in windows 8.1. Also on latest drivers aswell. I understand what you say with the vram usage and etc but i did not really understand what you meant by as new as on the win7?

But what I mean is our Win7 seems tied for graphics, but with me chanign nothing but the OS to Win8.1 my graphs score became lower than yours :) . I know not all benchmark tests yield exactly same results but they yield similar, so close that I can disregard the error between them. But on OS update it fell gradually and as you can see my win8.1 test it fell behind yours, without me changing anythign (with newest drivers AND old driver which is the same on my win7 benchmark).

Forget that, i didn't see that you used the same driver. Still Win8 uses a little bit extra when it comes to gpu's.
