Windows 8 worth it because of performance increase?

Hi, i edit videos, quite alot actually.And i'm running windows 7 right now, so i wanted to know if it was worth upgrading to windows 8 because it's got better performance.

I wouldn't say my video editing is the most demanding, i just take footage and add some effects and time remapping in after effects.

 

Here are my specs incase you need them:

Intel core i5-4430

16GB corsair vengeance LP ram

asus GTX 760

Samsung 840 series 120GB SSD

 

(I'm a complete noob at hardware stuff, so please don't throw that at me.)

eh, I wouldn't say it's substantial. I still use Win 7 even though I have a Win 8 License :P

You really wont see much of a performance benefit. The only performance gains seen is via synthetics. So I wouldn't bother and maybe upgrade to Windows 10 just for something new once it comes out.

I'd just stick with windows 7 as @Opcode said. From my understanding windows 10 is what windows 8 should have been (the same as windows 7 is what vista should have been).

Nah. Unless you can get it really really cheap or free, just stick to W7 for now and wait for the W10 before upgrading.
