I have a Msi gt60 gaming laptop with a gtx770m. When I upgraded to windows 8 I can barely play games.

Example minecraft would run great (120avg) max settings (render distance and all) even with now in 8.1 I can barely get 20fps and changing the settings does nothing

This is the same with every other game in my that I own from cod to simcity

Stupid responses above, Windows 8 is by far the best OS out right now. 

 

Have you tried updating your GPU drivers?

Windows is very likely not to blame (unless the install didn't work correctly, which is VERY unlikely). Check your GPU drivers.

Phillips 328P6VUBREB, Corsair Vengeance K95 RGB Cherry MX Brown, Logitech G502 X Plus, Sennheiser HD700.

What you MEANT to say is it runs very well, technically. Personally I couldn't stand the user experience for more than a week before I switched back.

 

I'm not exactly the only one that prefers Win7 for "best OS"

Have you tried using one card only?

They said that BF4 has problems with multiple GPU's

well put, I use Start8 :P.... but with the 8.2 update the start menu will be back so then it will be the best performer by far.
