Which OS for Gaming

[Riles4365]

Hey so i have a problem. (well...) I have just built my gaming pc and need an os. I have a free copy of windows 7 or I could buy a new copy of Windows 10. For these games what operating system do you think I should chose.

 

Games: 

 

ARK: Survival Evolved

Star Citizen

X-Plane 11

CS:GO

GTA V (Maybe)

Rocket League

War Thunder

KSP (Kerbal Space Program)

Doom (Also maybe)

and some others that I havent thought of yet

Doesn't matter on games. But I would recommend 10 over 7 any day regardless.

Windows 7 is still fine. There are some minor instablility with Win 10 that some people faced with but nothing important. Win 7 is still being supported by Microsoft anyway. Save 30 bucks for another game

Newer DX12 titles will be better on Windows 10 so I'd get that if possible.

Yeah, but i use a flight sim which is coming out next month, won't it be more fine-tuned for windows 10 then 7. ALso, the games would be supported for longer in windows 10.

Win 10 has support for DX 12; you might need it for games in the future. Get your OSes of Kinguin as it can save you a lot of $$$.

10 would be optimal in the long run. I am sure Flight Sim should work well with all operating system (except XP and Vista maybe)

I have asus strix gtx 1060. Also, I dont want to buy from there. I live in Aus and have got a store to a really good price for it.

I am still confused. If it is being released next month, wouldn't it be better for the newer os. Why would they make a new flight sim for an old os.

Ummm that depends on the developer entirely, it has little to do with the OSs themselves

Why don't you want to buy it from there? They have great customer service and buyer protection, also, they're not a black market site.

Market share on 7 is still higher than 10 for an example

[Riles4365]

Also, for the games I mentioned above, which OS is better???

No difference. Maybe Doom with its better DX 12 support but no difference

Please list a reason. I'm not forcing you, but it's the more reasonable choice as it's about $60 USD cheaper than the retail OEM version.

I just dont feel right buying it online. My brothe rbought a CD key online and now it says its not a legitimate version. I feel more comfortable buying from a retailer that I know and trust.

Again, which os would be better for these games:

 

 

ARK: Survival Evolved

Star Citizen

X-Plane 11

CS:GO

GTA V (Maybe)

Rocket League

War Thunder

KSP (Kerbal Space Program)

Doom (Also maybe)

[Cereal5]

I have Asus Strix GTX 1060 so I have no idea if that has DX12

That means more people are still using windows 7 over windows 10
