Windows 7 Or Windows 8 For GTAV?

Upgrade to Windows 8, then download the free update to Windows 8.1. My FPS has improved on every game, into the 10fps+ margin. Definitely upgrade!

Windows 7 is better than 8. Just because "newer is better" doesn't mean it's necessarily true. If you're used to the feel and usability of 7, stick with 7. Either operating system will work, but not any better than the other.

I don't mean to tell you you're wrong, but Windows 8(.1) does improve a game's performance. I prefer Windows 7 as an Operating System, but my frame-rate has increased from moving to 8 from 7.

Some games run better on Windows 8, but I don't know if that's the case for this game. I don't think you'll notice a big difference until maybe Windows 10 comes out, since that will introduce DX12, and even then I doubt it will be that big. :p

There's nothing wrong with W8.1 (free upgrade from 8) in my opinion, GTA V also runs fine for me on W8.1 (the crashes I'm having are mostly Social Club related).

Really? That's interesting. I know a lot of people have been liking 8.1, but I stopped at 8 simply because I couldn't tell the difference and I wasn't a fan of it. If it does help with performance, then I might be open minded to try that for myself. For now though, I'm sticking with 7, as I'm waiting for 10 to be released. It looks pretty promising.
