i currently use windows 7 64 bit.
My friend said windows 8.1 pro will give better performance in gaming and will give better fps.
Is it true ?
I have used windows 8.1 pro also. But not played any games with it. By using it , i felt that windows 8.1 was slower than windows 7. Anyway, would i get better fps while gaming ?
my specs....
processor : amd athlon ii x2 260 processor 3.2ghz
ram : 8 gb
gpu : nvidia gtx 750 ti
os : windows 7 x64 bit

8.1 and 8.0 are faster than windows 7 in gaming, however the difference is negligible in my experience. given that windows 10 is releasing at the end of the month and is free for all legitimate copies of windows 7 through 8.1, i would not go buying a copy of 8.1 for such minor improvements right now and just take the Win10 upgrade when its available.
