Many people have boasted performance gains from migrating from windows 7 to windows 8.1. I previously had widows 8 installed as part of a dual boot system and I found no difference in performance between the two operating systems. So I decided to upgrade my windows 8 to 8.1 and run a comparison. I have tried my best to duplicate the little segment of gameplay on each operating system, and I have also made a effort to try and keep the videos synchronised as much as possible. I don't deny windows 8.1 will give some users some performance gain but I think it's more to do with the hardware you own that contributes largely to the results. ALL CPU CORES WERE UNPARKED IN BOTH OPERATING SYSTEMS
