I have just got my hands on the Windows 8 developer preview, and the gaming performance in my favorite game, League of Legends, have gone down, in W7 SP1 my framerate were about 50-60, in W8 (developer preview) it is down at 30-40, but more stable than before.
@sejko123 Technically yes, just windows 7 is a slightly modified version of Vista and so on and so forth but it is really windows 8 its just in its infancy or pre-beta.
@letsgo098098 Yes, but of course... this is a pre beta version of windows... I didn't get any exact frame rates. and you can tell this was hardly a scientific test. I noticed a considerable drop in frame rate on Crysis 1 and warhead, neither ran too well. But as you can see Human Revolution ran well enough, but that was hardly an intense scene.
@webDes33 I am using Windows 8 Developers Preview on my system and it's a lot less than what Windows 7 uses. The Task Manager is a lot better too. More organized and stuff. I think the final release of this system will be a gamers dream come true. At least that is my opinion.
You got more FPS ?

@lulurauselesstroll Are you kidding me? It will affect framerate. If the OS uses a lot resources, anything that runs on the machine will be slower.

But i have heared it depends a lot on the game.

@NiToudal Please remember that games in PRE RELEASE Operating Systems will perform worse than in a full RTM OS.
