Hello OCN

As title say, this topic is about Virtu MVP and Windows 8.

Virtu MVP website does not have windows 8 drives, so can I use windows 7 drives? Or it will not work?

Thanks

I tried it once on the consumer preview and it seriously ****ed things up. Despite everything I tried, I ended up just doing a fresh install. I'm curious if you can get it working though and if you see any benefits from it.

But other games work? How much improvement, if any, do you see? I always like getting bonus performance if it's available but not at the cost of bugginess.

bad Virtu, bad. I think I'm either going to continue being happy with my current performance or wait for things to mature on the W8 side. Hell, I still have yet to overclock anything on my new rig. Don't tell anyone
