Not surprised. It's base on windows NT 6.3, four-five series of build numbers after the Windows 7. So there's alot of features been turn off which the users doesn't need.

I predict that there will be improvement, but in the range of 5 percent maximum.

This seems accurate.

 

Most of the performance issues people complained about with the beta turned out to be caused by Windows 7. It seems that Battlefield 4 is the first game to get a truly meaningful performance boost from Windows 8.

Don't really trust that site. 

besides bf4 is still in it's early ish stages? so id give it a fair abit more time to optimise and get everything sorted out.

 

honestly though, if more graphs like this show up and actually prove theres a huge difference beetwen windows 7 and 8 i might actually have to upgrade .. even though i love my windows 7, and literally had no interest in windows 8 at all.

If this graph is true, it might push me into getting Windows 8, even though I hate it with a passion.

AHHHH! no!!! Microsoft Has something up their sleeve!! I freaking know it!!! :(  I also know that this should be able to be done in windows 7 too, by turning off effects and stuff.

To all I am a HUGE Windows 7 fan but the graphs are 100% correct I went in this expecting nothing. I went from a laggy 45fps to a frame drops in the low 20's (not ULTRA settings Meds and Highs only no AA 1080P) in Windows 7. I installed Windows 8.1 and on ULTRA I am getting a solid 60FPS V Sync on and around 60-75 with it off. Windows 8.1 just saved me 350$ I was about to SLI but with the gains I just got I don't need another GFX card. Take it how you will all I'm saying is that the graph wasn't lying 8.1 did improve the performance in BF4 by A LOT.

 

For those of you who need a copy of Windows 8.1 Microsoft has a 90 Day free trial its an ISO download it burn it to a DVD and your set. If you can in 90days save up 120$ and get it.

There's a reason behind this you guys...

 

It's not that Windows 8 is magically faster in comparison to Windows 7 when in comes to games, well it does provide higher Min FPS, but the average should be the same, if not a tiny bit lower vs Windows 7.

 

The reason Battlefield 4 runs so much better on Windows 8+, is that Battlefield 4 is the 1st game to natively use DirectX11.1.

 

DirectX11.1 brought some much needed CPU performance improvements vs older DirectX APIs (according to DICE's rendering architect), so people running DirectX11.1 enabled OSes (Windows 8 and Windows 8.1) should definitely see increased performance.

 

Having that said, I can't wait for Battlefield 4 to get updated for Mantle (:
